Daiwa Alphas SV TW 800 Casting Reel - JDM

Introducing the NEW ALPHAS full model equipped with TWS & SV spool! This next-generation baitcasting reel features a design philosophy that aims for long-lasting initial performance thanks to the HYPERDRIVE design. Equipped with HYPERDRIVE Digigear, it achieves increased strength and improved rotation feel, and HYPER ARMED HOUSING (Al) provides robust body rigidity despite its compact size. Casting accuracy is also enhanced with the φ32mm SV spool, which can handle a wide range of lure weights, from lightweight lures. It is saltwater compatible and can handle various types of fishing, and of course, it inherits the ease of use that is a characteristic of the ALPHAS series, making it suitable for everyone from core anglers to beginners. The development and installation of a Φ32mm ultra-duralumin SV shallow spool allows for handling everything from finesse fishing to power fishing in cover using thick lines. Improved spool response and the compact form unique to ALPHAS allow for precise casts with a compact swing without increasing casting input. Low trajectory casts are possible, and high casting accuracy makes it possible to hit pinpoint locations with precision. Aiming for long-lasting high initial performance, the Hyper Drive design represents a next-generation design philosophy for baitcasting reels, significantly raising the standard of all basic performance aspects. The Hyper Drive design consists of up to four technologies: Hyper Drive Digigear, which ensures smooth rotation for extended periods; Hyper Double Support, which assists gear drive and provides strong, light winding; Hyper Armed Housing, which strongly supports the internal structure and is resistant to bending and distortion; and Hyper Tough Clutch, an insulated structure that continues to operate even in harsh locations and drastically reduces seizing due to salt corrosion. The synergistic effect of these technologies ensures stable performance in all fields. HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR A newly designed gear system that pursues sustained strong and smooth rotation. By increasing the meshing ratio without reducing the module (size) of the gear teeth, which directly affects durability, DAIWA's unique technology achieves long-lasting initial smoothness. HYPER DOUBLE SUPPORT A drive support system that achieves sustained smoothness and strong yet light winding. By precisely supporting both ends of the pinion gear with two ball bearings, it does not dampen the input from the handle, enabling powerful and light winding even under load. HYPER ARMED HOUSING (AL) The housing system provides high rigidity and precision to firmly support the internal structure, resulting in a refined winding feel and powerful performance. The use of metal material for the crucial frame is a necessary condition, and in combination with the side plates and set plates, it enables the basic performance to be maintained for an even longer period. This series utilizes aluminum alloy for the frame, gear-side plate, and dial-side set plate, resulting in a full-metal housing design that achieves unparalleled strength and robustness. HYPER TOUGH CLUTCH This clutch system offers not only sharp on/off performance that allows it to slide thousands or even tens of thousands of times, but also extremely reliable performance even in saltwater environments with high salinity. Its cutting-edge insulation structure has already resulted in a 99% reduction in the number of seizure repairs in harsh saltwater environments compared to our previous models.   Air Brake System This braking system significantly improves accuracy while providing extremely low backlash and a stress-free user experience. It provides firm braking during full casts, and during low-speed casting such as pitching, the inductor rotor doesn't protrude, allowing for low-trajectory casts, thus achieving a high level of balance between pitching and casting. SV-Concept The Super Versatile Concept delivers trouble-free performance in all situations and with all lures. This ultra-versatile brake concept handles all distances—short, medium, and long—and all lures—light, medium, and heavy—without any issues. It offers a very wide range of rod and lure options and is suitable for lure fishing of numerous fish species in both saltwater and freshwater. TWS (T-WING SYSTEM) TWS has successfully reduced resistance at the line guide closest to the spool, where the spool rotation speed is highest. By reducing the resistance to casting distance, it not only improves casting distance and control beyond conventional methods, but also allows for faster fall and reduced backlash. It has realized new possibilities for level wind not only during retrieval, but also during casting. UTD (Ultimate Tournament Drag) DAIWA's drag system eliminates the initial sticking when the drag starts to engage, achieving smooth and consistent drag without any sticking, while also providing maximum drag force that increases the tighter you tighten it.
