The 26 Certate HD is built for anglers who demand uncompromising durability and performance. this HD model is engineered to handle sustained pressure, high drag settings, and demanding angling techniques with confidence.
Featuring Daiwa’s rigid Monocoque aluminium body, the reel accommodates a larger drive gear for increased torque and long-term strength. Magsealed technology protects critical internal components from water and debris intrusion, ensuring consistent performance in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
Incorporating AirDrive Design, the 26 Certate HD delivers reduced rotational inertia and improved balance for a lighter, more responsive winding feel, without sacrificing power. Combined with Tough Digigear, the result is smooth, controlled power delivery when targeting large, aggressive fish. Engineered without compromise, the 26 Certate HD is designed to perform at the limit, and beyond.
Features
Automatic Tournament 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.
Tough Digigear - A further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our brand new digitally designed, machine cut gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
Magsealed Body - Ultimate protection is delivered to the engine room of the reel with a magnetised oil seal located on the main shaft of the reel's rotor shutting the door to the elements and unwanted intruders. Dust, water, and salt intrusion into the inner workings of a reel are a thing of the past with MagSeal.
Airdrive Design - Daiwa's new Airdrive Design, a four pillar (Airdrive Rotor, Airdrive Bail, Airdrive Spool, and Airdrive Shaft) design concept that reduces weight, and enhances rotational smoothness and responsiveness to create a reel that is next level in both form and function.
Monocoque Body - MQ Body takes reel design to the next level. The MQ system does not require conventional side plate, instead using an engine plate to screw directly to the body. Eliminating the need for screws to hold a body cover in place. MQ body improves the strength of the reel, it also improves the water-resistance of the body and allows a larger diameter drive gear to be installed.
