Daiwa Exist 22

The flagship spin reel in the Daiwa light tackle range once again elevates spin reel design to a new level with the release of the 22 Exist. A beacon of design possibility and performance since the original Exist was released in 2006, the 22 models introduce new designs and technologies to deliver anglers their most advanced light tackle Daiwa spin reel to date.

The foundation of the 22 Exist’s design is 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.

The new Airdrive Rotor and Airdrive Airbail combine to reduce weight at the top of the reel to improve rotational smoothness and start up speed, and to minimise rotational resistance and inertia. These design benefits are further enhanced thanks to the Exist’s new weight-saving, optimally balanced Airdrive Spool.

The last of the four key features of Airdrive Design, Airdrive Shaft, features a low contact structure between the mainshaft and pinion, and results in reduced internal friction and improved rotational smoothness.

A leap forward in Daiwa light tackle spin reel design, Daiwa’s Airdrive Design concept combines with proven Daiwa technologies including Monocoque Body, Magseal, Tough Digigear, ATD, and Twistbuster, to deliver anglers their most advanced Exist reel ever.

Lighter, smoother, more balanced and freer flowing than ever before the 22 Exist delivers the future in the angler's hands.
