EXIST

The Exist, Daiwa’s iconic top-of-the-line model, has been radically redesigned with the introduction of a new and revolutionary construction concept destined to profoundly transform the technological future of spinning reels: the AIRDRIVE DESIGN.

Overview

The Exist, Daiwa’s iconic top-of-the-line model, has been radically redesigned with a new and revolutionary construction concept destined to profoundly transform the technological future of spinning reels: the AIRDRIVE DESIGN is based on the redesign and improvement of four fundamental elements of the reel: the rotor, the spool, the bail, and the main shaft.

These features were developed to make the Exist incredibly smoother and lighter, taking the pleasure of use to a level never before achieved by any reel.

In addition to the newly redesigned features, the new EXIST incorporates Daiwa’s proven and industry-exclusive technologies, such as the MAGNESIUM MONOCOQUE BODY and MAGSEALED technology used for the body, the bearings supporting the drive gear, and the line guide roller.

The latter has been further improved: the third generation of Twist Buster now features an additional groove that ensures even smoother thread movement.

AIRDRIVE ROTOR

A new rotor, completely redesigned and reengineered to deliver exceptional smoothness: the new design reduces the rotor’s weight by 16% compared to the previous model and further lowers rotational inertia.

AIRDRIVE SPOOL

A new, even lighter spool with a redesigned skirt ensures superior oscillation quality and greater sensitivity.

AIRDRIVE SHAFT

A redesigned system that ensures there is absolutely no contact between the main shaft and the pinion.
The latter is now supported at both ends by bearings for even more efficient power transfer to the rotor.

AIRDRIVE BAIL

The EXIST’s new one-piece headband has a smaller diameter, which helps reduce its weight (33% less than the previous model) while maintaining high strength and durability. A new angle of inclination was also developed to further optimize the flow of the line through the line-guide roller, which was also redesigned to maximize smoothness.

New ATD Type L Drag

The new ATD-L drag is not only lighter, but also incredibly more responsive and progressive: it reacts to the initial input even more smoothly than the standard ATD, and then engages progressively and even more gradually at the preset engagement point.

Compared to the standard ATD, the new ATD-L drag maintains a more consistent response at the same spool rotation speed: this results in less overheating of the discs, more stable and long-lasting performance, and easier line control.
