Daiwa BG MQ 18000 ARK Reel

The Daiwa BG MQ 18000 ARK Reel is a premium, high-performance spinning reel designed for serious anglers targeting large offshore fish. Built with cutting-edge technology and superior durability, this reel excels in harsh saltwater conditions and is perfect for tackling big-game species like tuna, marlin, and sharks.

Key Features of the Daiwa BG MQ 18000 ARK Reel:

• Monocoque (MQ) Body: The Monocoque body design eliminates side plates and features a seamless structure, improving the reel’s strength and rigidity. This allows for the inclusion of a larger gear system, providing smoother operation and more efficient power transfer during retrieval and fighting large fish.

• Magsealed Technology: The Magsealed protection system prevents the intrusion of saltwater, dirt, and moisture, enhancing the reel's longevity and smoothness. The technology uses magnetic oil to form a barrier, preventing corrosion and internal damage, which makes this reel ideal for extended use in tough saltwater environments.

• ATD (Advanced Tournament Drag) System: The ATD drag system ensures smooth, consistent drag pressure, even under heavy load, allowing for better control during intense fish battles. This system prevents the drag from sticking, offering more reliable and even drag adjustments.

• High-Strength Construction: The BG MQ 18000 ARK is built using Hardbodyz aluminum, which resists corrosion and wear, making it extremely durable and robust. Its components are designed to withstand the harsh conditions found in offshore and deep-sea fishing.

• Large Capacity Spool: With its large-capacity spool, this reel is designed to hold thicker braided lines, which are necessary for long-distance casting and dealing with powerful, big-game fish. This feature also ensures the reel performs well in deep-sea and trolling applications.

• Smooth Retrieval: Featuring 12+1 ball bearings and an advanced gear system, the BG MQ 18000 ARK offers ultra-smooth retrieves and efficient power transfer. This contributes to a pleasurable and effective fishing experience, whether casting or trolling.

• Durable and Powerful Drag: With a max drag rating of 55 lbs (25 kg), this reel is equipped to handle tough, powerful fish. The ATD drag system ensures that the drag can handle the stress of long, drawn-out fights.
