2018 Daiwa Ryoga Left Hand Wind Baitcast Fishing Reel

Rigid machine cut alloy body and side plates, Hyper Mesh, MagSealed, Magforce Z, ATD, Zero Adjuster, Speed Shaft

One of the most hyped releases this year, the new 2018 Ryoga from Daiwa is engineered to perfection with the looks to match. Available in 1016 and 1520 sizes depending on your application, once you pick one up you will not want to put it down.

Dark in looks and unmatched in style and swagger the 2018 Ryoga baitcaster sets a new standard in baitcaster power, performance and precision.

Integrating many of Daiwa's most famous technologies the Ryoga once again takes baitcaster design to the next level with a host of advanced and precision focused new features standing this reel out from the pack when it comes to heavy-duty baitcaster excellence.

Daiwa's Hyper Mesh gear system, Magseal, Magforce Z, Speed Shaft, and the legendary ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) lead the charge when it comes to features, while a G1 Duraluminium spool, Zero Adjuster, and Swept Handle further enhances the reel's cutting-edge performance and control.

An ultra-strong, alloy frame and side plates is the foundation of the Ryoga and provides an immoveable platform for this stunning reel, regardless of what's thrown at it. Solid and assured in the angler's hand the Ryoga has few peers when it comes to palm-ability for a larger, barrel profiled baitcaster.

Continuing its trend for innovation the Ryoga features Magseal technology, a design evolution that delivered unrivaled protection since introduced into the Daiwa spin reel line-up in 2010. Located on the pinion gear in the main gear side plate, Magseal prevents water and salt intrusion into the reel to significantly increase reel protection and performance. Slamming the door shut on unwanted intruders Magseal technology is baitcaster protection and design advancement like you've never before.

Ryoga's High Mesh gear system delivers a level of gear smoothness and strength like we've never seen before with its oversized, precision cut, multi teethed gears ensuring ultimate cranking smoothness, refinement and strength.

Cranking power and balance is further enhanced with a 90mm Swept Handle bringing the balance point of the handle closer to the centre of the reel and when combined with the new High Grip I Shape knobs provides unmatched cranking power, balance and control.

Giving you the power to seize the moment is Daiwa's innovative ATD drag system. Powerful and unyielding ATD gives you the power to take control of whatever crosses your angling path. A new large clicking machined aluminium star drag puts this control in easy reach, with its super light, ergonomic design making it easier than ever to crank the power up when needed.

The Ryoga's Zero Adjuster allows for effortless, trouble-free cast control setting, while the Speed Shaft free floating spool, G1 Duraluminium spool, and legendary Magforce Z cast control system delivers trouble free, effortless casting performance, regardless of the wind or the size of the lure being used.

Flawless in design, stunning in looks and style, and unparalleled in performance and power, the new Ryoga is the most revered heavy duty baitcaster Daiwa has ever produced and the ultimate big bait reel. Feel Alive, feel Ryoga.

Features

90MM BC HANDLE
The all-rounder of handle lengths is suited to a variety of applications from finesse to mid to heavy-duty angling.

ALUMINIUM BODY
Lightweight and incredibly strong, aluminium allows strength and weightless to be achieved without the cost and corrosion issues of other metals such as magnesium.

ATD-DRAG
Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

CRBB
Lasting 12 times longer than standard stainless-steel bearings Daiwa’s CRBBs feature specially treated stainless steel, and a protective shield on the bearing race that seals out sand, fine grit, salt crystals and other abrasives. The result is a longer lasting bearing that’s protected from the corrosive elements that destroy traditional bearings.

G1 SPOOL
Lighter and faster than traditional spools a G1 duraluminium spool allows for faster spool start-up and slowdown, and improved rotational balance.

HYPER MESH GEARING
Our latest evolution in gear design, Hyper Mesh Gears have 50% more teeth for increased gear contact. This increase in contact significantly improves the gear’s resistance to wear, and greatly enhances reel performance and longevity.

INFINITE ANTI REVERSE
Daiwa's advanced system that limits rearward back play handle movement to almost zero for solid hooksets with less shock to the reel. The result is the elimination of handle slap-back and the unwanted release of line.

MAGFORCE Z
The next generation of Daiwa’s magnetic anti-backlash system like Magforce V before it combines the best aspects of modern magnetic and centrifugal breaking, albeit with some slight differences. Unlike Magforce V magnetic braking is only applied at maximum spool speed, as a result it allows the spool to reach a higher peak speed and allows it to spin for longer. Magforce Z is considered to be best suited to longer casting pursuits and heavier weights.

MAGSEALED LINE ROLLER
One of the hardest working and exposed areas of a spin reel is provided with ultimate protection with a MagSealed line roller bearing shutting out the elements for optimum line roller protection, performance and longevity.

SPEED SHAFT
Unlike some baitcaster spools that has the spool supported by the pinion gear and drive shaft, Speed Shaft is soely supported by bearings. This allows for friction free spool rotation and optimum casting performance.

SUPER METAL BODY
Daiwa’s super aluminium alloy that allows the creation of a reel body that is four times more precise than a machined magnesium body, and with greater corrosion resistance.

ZERO ADJUSTER
Thanks to the revolutionary SV-Concept, it is no longer necessary to adjust the Mechanical Spool Brake Knob when casting. Perfect Zero Adjuster setting is when the spool shaft is held without side to side spool play. Appropriate brake power adjustment is now fully manageable with only the use of the Magnetic dial.
