Daiwa 22 Free Swimmer BR 8000 Spinning Reel

Daiwa’s best-performing Bite N’ Run reel yet!

A return to the foray of Bite’ N’ Run reels, the Daiwa 22 Free Swimmer BR 8000 Spinning Reel is expertly engineered with well-thought-out features and technologies to give you superior fish-stopping performance. Designed in collaboration between Daiwa USA, Daiwa Australia, Daiwa New Zealand and alongside Japanese engineers, the Free Swimmer BR is a product five years in the making and a testament to Daiwa’s commitment to providing top-of-the-line gear to suit local conditions. It’s the best-performing Bite N’ Run reel Daiwa has ever produced!

The Daiwa 22 Free Swimmer BR 8000 Spinning Reel is built off a strong and sturdy carbon composite frame and Air Rotor. The internals have been carefully sealed through careful design and implementation of rubber seals to make the 22 Free Swimmer a true Saltwater Bite N’Run reel.

Bite N’ Run
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 hook set is achieved. The rear drag can be easily adjusted to provide optimum tension for each scenario.

Air Rotor
Lighter, stronger and more balanced than any rotor system that’s come before, ‘Air Rotor’ is a great leap forward in rotor design and function, delivering the ultimate line roller support. Made from Zaion and featuring a redesigned arch that disperses pressure to the lower section of the rotor to reduce stressing and flexing, the design is further enhanced with a hollowed-out construction reducing weight while increasing reel sensitivity and rotational balance.

ATD System
Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start-up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook-up.

Tough Digigear
A further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our brand new digitally designed, machine-cut gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
