The Certate reel has always set high standards in balance and power, and the production of the Certate LT elevates its performance to unprecedented levels. On the Certate, Daiwa has succeeded in constructing a reel of unmatched delicacy and strength, the likes of which are hard to find on the market.

The new Daiwa Certate is based on the Monocoque aluminum body, which is very lightweight, rigid, compact, resistant to distortions, and which epitomizes the engineering in the fishing industry.

The combination of two exemplary Daiwa technologies – the LT Concept and the Monocoque body – offers low weight and power at levels that are not easily found on the market. The Monocoque body of the Daiwa Certate is small in size and robust, achieving a unique balance between low weight and unmatched power during retrieval. A similar technique is used in the construction of Formula 1 monocoques and spacecraft where maximum strength and efficiency of minimal space are required, in extreme conditions.

In reality, none of the above is surprising, as the Certate has always been a high-performance reel, of unmatched strength and durability over time. It has always been synonymous with innovation and the new Certate LT marks the beginning of a new era in the Daiwa family. The Certate LT combines the most advanced technologies of Daiwa and is made in Japan.

Technologies :

LT :

Translation with HTML code: The result of the LT technology is the construction of reels by Daiwa that have lower weight, and smaller dimensions, but significantly more power. The combination of a compact body and increased power in the gear transmission (Digigear) allows the reel to withstand heavy loads without problems in movement or body distortion. The LT technology ensures that all mechanical parts are perfectly protected from distortion and work together to provide the reel with great power in both the handle and the drag system. Particularly in the movement of the handle, you will not feel pressure, while the power generated by the reel will be inversely proportional.

Magsealed :

High-tech from Aerospace, MAGSEALED is a magnetic oil that ensures the protection of the internal mechanics and improves the rotation of the spool. The MAGSEALED technology is based on a magnetic oil developed by NASA. This magnetic liquid seal was initially used in the transmission of hard computer disks. It was resistant to dust, but not waterproof. The challenge for Daiwa engineers was to control the intensity of the magnetic force, and hundreds of tests had to be repeated. Field tests conducted by the best experts in every fishing technique showed significant gains in rotation fluidity.

Monocoque body :

The Monocoque Body now comes in a new, uniquely equipped symmetrical design. This symmetrical construction first appeared in the Certate HD 2016 and now marks a turning point in the history of reels, ushering in a new generation of tougher reels. The gear transmission is enclosed in a monocoque body, which is harder and better sealed than ever before.

Tough Digigear :

This technology is an evolution of "Digigear" that allows for precise processing of the control wheel by providing it with a superior contact surface in order to increase the durability and fluidity of the mechanics.

Infinite Anti Reverse :

It limits the reverse motion of the handle... to zero for better "hook sets" without shaking the mechanism and without any line slippage.

Zaion :

Some of the bodies and rotors of Daiwa are made from Zaion, an exclusive high-density carbon with corrosion-resistant properties that is lighter and harder than magnesium. The engineers of Zaion began to create a material that was as hard as metal but as light as carbon. Conventional wisdom suggests that an aluminum cylinder provides hardness while a carbon composite is needed to construct a lightweight body and rotor. ZAION is a merger of these two properties. While typical carbon is made from nylon 6-6 resin and 20% carbon fibers, ZAION has twice the density of carbon fibers. The result is a unique material that is as strong as magnesium. A ZAION body is 25% lighter than the magnesium equivalent and 50% lighter than aluminum!

ATD :

The ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) brake system features discs infused with a new special grease that optimizes the energy efficiency of the brake. This high-quality grease offers better initial grip, providing a more stable and progressive brake. As a result, the risk of line breakage during battles is minimized, thanks to the precise response of the ATD brake, which adjusts to every phase of the fight: engaging faster and more progressively at startup and offering better control during the heat of the battle. It automatically adapts to different constraints at each stage of the fight, hence its name Automatic Tournament Drag. With the Daiwa ATD brake, be prepared for calmer and better-controlled battles. The drag knob tightening is more precise, and the internal base of the spool fits better onto the axis to eliminate any play when the brake is released.

Air Rotor :

Balance, stability, and sensitivity characterize the Air-Rotor. Its arched profile, which is 15% lighter than a typical rotor, offers optimal rotational fluidity and eliminates vibrations due to its lower center of gravity.

Air Bail :

The tubular column "Touch Air Bail" made of SUS303 steel is 20% stronger and lasts 13 times longer than a solid titanium column of the same weight.

Twist Buster 2

In a nutshell, the Twist Buster technology reduces the friction of the line on the roller and minimizes line twist. Daiwa applies this technology as a solution to line twist during long casts in two ways: it "forces" the line to be launched in a specific direction at a specific angle towards the roller, and the Rollers constructed with the Twin Buster technology feature a special cone that forces the line to "twist" during retrieval in the opposite direction of the twist created by the spool's movement.
