DAIWA Invests in the Future
|
A veritable cornucopia of brilliant new fishing products debut at ICAST 2022
|
Cypress, CA (July 18, 2022) – Legendary investor Warren Buffet – aka “Oracle of Omaha” – famously said it is wise for investors to be “fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” Applied to the fishing industry, it means when global challenges cause many manufacturers to shut down the innovation and new products spicket, a few visionary companies wisely invest in the future. DAIWA is one of those investors.
You’re invited to drop by the DAIWA booth on opening day, Wednesday, July 20th at 9:30 am (Booth #5630) for a detailed rundown of the new gear – and receive a complementary gift bag. As well, DAIWA will be demonstrating select new products at On the Water on Tuesday, July 19th from 10 am to 2 pm. And we strongly encourage you to see DAIWA’s key new gear in the New Product Showcase.
Here are a few of those innovative new offerings:
|
EXIST
The newest of high-end freshwater and inshore spinning reels, Daiwa’s brilliantly designed EXIST. Style, innovation, research, and passion come together in the birth of the new EXIST. What is unarguably the finest spinning reel in EXISTence, features all exclusive technologies you’d come to expect from a Daiwa flagship product. Adjectives fail to describe the experience of using this reel on the water; it’s beyond smooth with the best drag conceivable and construction that will last a lifetime and beyond.

Free Swimmer
Surprisingly lightweight yet exceptionally powerful, the Free Swimmer features an Automatic Bite N’ Run clutch at the base of the body, allowing anglers to instantly disengage the spool so line can peel off with little or no resistance while the bail is closed. Simply pull down on the lever to place the reel in free-spool mode and flip it back to instantly to reengage when a fish grabs your bait. A small Tension Control Knob at the back of the reel makes it easy to adjust spool tension to control the speed at which line plays out.

NEKO CRAWLER
The 5” NEKO CRAWLER hybridizes Daiwa’s NEKO FAT and NEKO STRAIGHT, stealing key elements of each to create the alpha of Neko baits. Its outwardly simple profile is infused with technology and intelligence. For starters, the NEKO CRAWLER is masterminded with legendary Yamamoto knowhow for more wiggle – that special trembling action that drives bass bonkers. Also, the NEKO CRAWLER features a wide diameter nose, providing added surface for inserting Neko weights – from drywall screws to specialty weights. Thirdly, Yamamoto’s inventiveness produced a buoyant soft plastic, allowing the bait to stand straight on the bottom for easy slurping.

Ever Green XV-5
A shad-bait unlike anything on the market. A brand-new take on the shad-profile crankbait design—like a lot of Ever Green’s other cutting-edge baits—the XV-5 finds its origin on pressured, Japanese waters where anglers are constantly having to find the next big thing. The lure is sure to please the most discerning anglers looking for that perfect cross between crankbait and jerkbait to ply shad-infested waters. The bait does not feature a knocker or internal rattle—also a plus for targeting clear, water pressured fish. The tight wobbled produces all the vibration and sound necessary to draw the lateral line detection of bass, stripers, wipers, white bass, walleyes, and trout.

Wharf Rat
Daiwa’s new Wharf Rat hooded sweatshirt serves a purpose that all deckhands, guides and tournament anglers are way to familiar with, and is custom cut and hemmed for a more stylish, finished look. The purposely shortened sleeves of the Wharf Rat keep your arms clear for working in water. Saltwater anglers constantly find themselves reaching in the baitwell, chasing deep into the corners for the biggest, liveliest bait. The end result being water working up to your armpits. But not with the Wharf Rat.

Primal Jig Binder
Its attaché case, folder design with easy-to-carry handle and narrow profile will slip anywhere on the boat. The overarching design itself is fold-over with a clip to keep all jigs secured and in place. In terms of construction, the Daiwa Primal Jig Binder features a unique design that makes retrieving jigs and rigging essentials from the interior elementary. The front is easy to open via one simple, resilient clip that exposes both sides of the binder for instant access. It features 10 Isinglass compartments that makes sliding in and retrieving treble-hooked jigs a breeze—and on the opposite side, 10 compartments for slow-pitch jigs and knife jigs. The back of the Daiwa Primal Jig Binder also features two rigging compartments where you can keep leader material, tools, and other fishing essentials.
