Each time a new reel is released anglers are astonished by its lightness and smoothness of revolution. The original Certate, introduced in 2004, brought ground breaking technology with Real Four design, a combination that set standards for all Daiwa spinning reels from that time on. Its unparalleled engineering produced a flawless design that became the flagship for Daiwa. Until now. Introducing the all new Certate.

New innovations and unparalleled designs, it’s what you’ve come to expect from the world leader in fishing tackle.

Introducing MAG SEALED

The new Certate heralds a giant leap forward in design, revolving around one ground breaking material – magnetic fluid. Developed by NASA to magnetically deliver fuel to space ships, this technology has now been adapted to Daiwa’s latest flagship spinning reel.

Being magnetized this lubrication system avoids any friction and prevents dust intrusion, eliminating oil spray and significantly improving reel life expectancy.

The challenge for Daiwa was to utilise the inherent benefits of magnetic liquid in a reel design. We have – by combining innovative design and new CRBB bearings with a magnetic oil membrane making water intrusion a thing of the past.

Working in conjunction with Mag Seal the new Air Rotor stystem improves reel sensitivity and prevents foreign material such as water, salt, sand and dust collecting inside the reel preventing corrosion issues.

The innovation continues with the Real Four next generation in spinning reel technology including the new ABS11, the super smooth UTD drag system, Real Stopper anti reverse system and the tough, yet lightweight, Digigear drive.

Just when you thought Certate was the best you could buy, think again. The best has just got better!

 

Mag Seal

Revolutionary Durability

Daiwa’s primary design motivation in redeveloping the Certate was to exclude water. Given its popularity amongst anglers fishing marine waters, sealing the Certate was a major goal in taking it to the next level. No leakage would mean no corrosion, longer life and better performance.

When saltwater penetrates a reel and dries, it crystallizes, then erodes gears and bearings.

Although waterproof gaskets and “o rings’ prevent water intrusion in most instances, they have the disadvantage of producing friction and thus winding inertia.

In order to increase the durability of the reel, Daiwa had to make the waterproof structure an absolute priority. Through years of research and development, Daiwa found the solution – a membrane of magnetic oil which shuts out saltwater. By using magnetized oil in conjunction with magnets a seal is created. We call it “Mag Seal”. You’ll call it magic and a transformation to long lasting, smooth rotary efficiency.

Mixing a liquid with iron isn’t easy, but Daiwa has mastered it in the new Certate range. When dispersed evenly through liquid, the iron oxide (magnetite) has a diameter of 1/100,000mm, so small that the surface area of the ferromagnetic particle is around 1/10th of a single influenza virus.

The molecules in this new metallic grease/oil are able to transform. They normally form a typical liquid helical shape, but with the introduction of a magnetic force they change shape similar to the android in Terminator II, attaching to any other metal to form a seal. So strong is this magnetic liquid that if placed in a container with a magnetic surface it would retain its shape even if the bottom was removed.

Not only does “Mag Seal” prevent saltwater penetration for a smoother revolution of the rotor system, it also increases sensitivity. You will feel more connected to lures, detect more bites and fight fish with ease. Real design and real technological development for ‘reel sensitivity’.

Keeping saltwater out will make fishing more enjoyable and productive, something you’ve come to expect from Daiwa.

The term “reel sensitivity” is the new standard.
