Daiwa rebuilt it around a solid aluminum frame and body cover, so the gearbox stays rigid under load — the part that matters when you're leaning on a fish with 20 lb braid and a short leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"font-size:18px;font-weight:600;margin:1.4em 0 0.3em;\"\u003eAIRDRIVE rotor, bail and TOUGH DIGIGEAR\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDaiwa's \u003cstrong\u003eAIRDRIVE DESIGN\u003c\/strong\u003e components carry over from the higher-end lineup.
