Daiwa's Certate HD represents the ultimate evolution of high-performance spinning reels, designed to tackle the most extreme conditions and the toughest fish. Built with a full aluminum construction, this reel combines rigidity, power and reliability in a compact and refined body. The CERTATE philosophy is based on two fundamental pillars: smooth operation and absolute strength. The HD version takes these concepts to the next level with the introduction of the aluminum Airdrive rotor, which maintains low inertia for precise control while ensuring exceptional resistance under load. Combined with the Monocoque metal body, it delivers unprecedented rigidity and direct, efficient power transmission. The result is an extremely smooth, powerful and distinctly "metal-like" retrieve feel, making it ideal for fighting big fish and retrieving high-resistance lures such as metal jigs, vibrations, blade jigs and big minnows. The Certate HD is designed for heavy-duty use: every component has been reinforced and carefully selected to ensure durability, reliability and consistent performance over time. The ATD Tough drag system, Magsealed waterproof technology and optimized Airdrive bail ensure total control and reduced issues even in the most demanding conditions. With an elegant black finish and glossy details, and 12 ball bearings, the Certate HD is not only powerful but also refined and technologically advanced.
AIRDRIVE DESIGN
Airdrive Design represents Daiwa's next-generation design philosophy for spinning reels, developed to provide total lure control and superior handling. By combining multiple technical innovations, this system reduces inertia and friction, improving overall smoothness, rotational response and reel balance, resulting in a more precise and natural fishing experience.
It consists of four main technologies:
1. AirDrive Rotor: light start-up and highly responsive rotation
2. AirDrive Bail: lightweight and trouble-free design
3. AirDrive Spool: thin, lightweight construction
4. AirDrive Shaft: reduced friction and noise even under load
The result is enhanced handling and improved balance.
AIRDRIVE ROTOR
The Airdrive Rotor features an innovative design developed to minimize weight without compromising rigidity. This allows for an extremely light start-up and greater sensitivity during use, improving lure control and making the retrieve smoother and more responsive.
AIRDRIVE BAIL
The Airdrive Bail is designed to achieve the perfect balance between lightness and strength. Thanks to its optimized structure and carefully engineered angle, it guides the line smoothly toward the line roller, significantly reducing tangles and improving line management even when using heavy lures.
AIRDRIVE SPOOL
The Airdrive Spool features an ultra-lightweight and thin design aimed at reducing inertia and improving overall performance. This structure enables longer casting distance, better control during retrieve and a more immediate drag response.
AIRDRIVE SHAFT
The AirDrive Shaft uses an advanced structure that eliminates contact between the main shaft and the pinion gear, drastically reducing internal friction. This system ensures smoother and quieter rotation, even under load, improving power transmission efficiency and delivering a lighter, more consistent retrieve.
MONOCOQUE BODY
The Monocoque Body is a one-piece aluminum structure designed for maximum rigidity and strength. By eliminating traditional assembly parts, it improves internal gear precision and allows the use of larger, more robust components, significantly enhancing power and durability.
TOUGH DIGIGEAR
Tough Digigear is a high-precision gear system designed to withstand extreme conditions. Thanks to advanced materials and high-quality machining, it ensures smooth and consistent rotation over time, even under heavy loads.
ATD TOUGH
ATD Tough is an advanced drag system that uses high-durability carbon washers to provide smooth and progressive performance. This allows better control during fish runs, improving fighting performance while ensuring long-lasting reliability.
LC-ABS (Long Cast ABS)
LC-ABS technology is designed to improve line release during casting by reducing friction and increasing distance. Its advanced structure enables longer and more accurate casts while minimizing line-related issues.
MAGSEALED
The Magsealed system uses magnetic oil to create a protective barrier against water, dust, and impurities. This exclusive Daiwa technology helps maintain internal performance over time, improving durability and preserving smooth rotation even in harsh environments.
MAGSEALED LINE ROLLER
The Magsealed Line Roller is a sealed line roller designed to withstand the toughest conditions. It effectively protects against water and sand, ensuring smooth rotation and reducing line twist, thus enhancing overall reel performance.
