Daiwa 23 Cygnus LBD

A basic model reborn with a new monocoque body!

Daiwa LB reel's basic model "Cygnus" is now available with a new monocoque body!

The first point of the "monocoque body" is "silky rotation." ``Silky rotation'' has been achieved by improving body rigidity and gear support precision.

"Winding power UP". Winding power has been improved by increasing the diameter of the gear.

Furthermore, "improved rotational durability". Rotational durability has also been improved by increasing the diameter of the gear.

Finally, "improved waterproofness". The waterproofness of the body has been improved due to the synergistic effect of the improved airtightness of the monocoque body and the high water resistance of the magshield.

ZAION V is used for the body material and ZAION is used for the brake lever.

Introducing the newly developed XH model with a gear ratio of 6.6 (99cm).
The monocoque body realizes even higher gearing, allowing you to choose between two gear ratios: the XH model, which allows for quick device collection and exchange, and the H model, which has a gear ratio of 6.2 (93cm).


Continuing spool compatibility and compatibility with past spools.

Daiwa Technology

MONOCOQUE BODY

Strong and durable technology, monocoque body. Conventionally, spinning reels generally supported both ends of the drive gear with the body and body cover, and fixed them with several screws. From this structure, we aimed to further improve precision and rigidity by eliminating the body cover and fixing the monocoque body by screwing a high-precision plate directly into the body. This increases gear support precision, and also improves rigidity and airtightness. Furthermore, we have succeeded in maximizing the size of the drive gear by utilizing the space previously taken up by screws. Monocoque body means MONO (one) - COQUE (shell). The completely new shape, which symbolizes the strength of a mono valve shell, breaks the conventional wisdom of reel construction.

BITURBO BRAKE SYSTEM

The use of titanium discs achieves twice the braking efficiency compared to conventional models and provides powerful braking force just by lightly squeezing the lever. The time it takes to reach the required braking force after squeezing the lever is also reduced to 1/4 of the time compared to conventional brakes.

MAGSEALED

DAIWA's unique waterproof structure creates a magnetic oil wall in the gap between the body and rotor to shut out seawater and dust.

ATD

ATD that operates smoothly according to the pull of the fish and continues to work smoothly. In pursuit of start-up and tracking performance, it is now possible to concentrate on the fight without worrying about drag settings.

AIRROTOR

The unique arch shape that distributes the load on the rotor achieves a significant weight reduction with the same strength. The rotor balance has also been improved, resulting in light rotation with good response.

ZAION V

Make your reel lighter and stronger. Zaion V is a carbon hybrid resin developed for this purpose. By precisely controlling the amount of hybridized carbon, we have achieved a high level of lightness that surpasses metal and strength comparable to metal, as well as versatility that allows it to be installed on many reels. It inherits the essence of Zaion, which can be said to be the MAX spec of carbon hybrid resin.

Product Detail

■Monocoque body

The basic performance of the LB reel has evolved due to the monocoque body. Silky rotation due to improved body rigidity. Improved durability by being able to install larger and thicker gears than before. Significant advances have been made, including improved waterproofness due to the screwless body structure.

■Spool compatibility

Any spool can be installed as long as the drag knob part is a push type spool (excluding 4000LBD and Oonaga Monster)

■Large diameter drive gear

Compared to 19 Cygnus, the drive gear diameter has increased by 1 mm (31 mm ⇒ 32 mm, 3% increase), and the gear thickness has increased from 5 mm to 5.45 mm (9% increase), resulting in increased strength and durability.

Ball Bearing Mounting Location

- Equipped with a total of 5 pieces (all SUS): drive gear left and right (2 pieces)
, pinion both ends (2 pieces)
, and oscillating gear part (1 piece)
