Daiwa 22 Free Swimmer BR
A return to the foray of Bite’N’Run reels with Daiwa’s new Free Swimmer BR. Bite’N’Run is a key technology for keen live or dead bait anglers allowing fish to take baits under minimal line tension to ensure a solid hookset is achieved.
Designed in collaboration between Daiwa USA, Daiwa Australia, Daiwa New Zealand and alongside Japanese engineers, Free Swimmer BR is a product five years in the making and a testament to Daiwa’s commitment to providing the best products to suit local conditions.
Angler’s will set the Bite’N’Run tension by adjusting the dial on the bottom of the reel, a wide range can be set to suit unweighted baits for finicky feeders such as whiting, up to quite strong settings suitable to live baiting large baits for hard-fighting predators like Kingfish & Mackeral.
Free Swimmer BR is built off a strong & sturdy carbon composite frame and Air Rotor. The internals have been carefully sealed through careful design and implementation of rubber seals to make Free Swimmer a true Saltwater Bite’N’Run reel. Careful attention to detail was paid throughout the design and prototype stages to make Free Swimmer BR capable of handling even the largest of New Zealand Kingfish & Snapper.
Free Swimmer BR is equipped with a host of regular Daiwa technologies including Air Rotor, ATD Drag, Tough Digigear & more to round out the best performing Bite’N’Run reel Daiwa has ever produced.
