Daiwa Seagate Conventional Reel

Built around a corrosion-proof composite frame, the Seagate features rugged helical-cut brass gears for smooth, powerful winding and an Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTD) carbon drag system that provides consistent pressure throughout the fight. An anodized aluminum spool offers strength while reducing weight, and the centrifugal spool brake helps improve casting control.
