Daiwa Black Widow BR5000A Reel

The Daiwa Black Widow BR5000A Reel is part of Daiwa’s Black Widow series, designed for anglers who need a durable, smooth-operating reel for freshwater and light saltwater fishing. Known for its powerful features and solid construction, this reel is an excellent choice for targeting medium to large fish species such as carp, catfish, bass, and smaller saltwater species like snapper or sea bass.

Key Features of the Daiwa Black Widow BR5000A Reel:

• LT (Light & Tough) Construction: The LT design allows for a reduction in weight while maintaining strength and durability. This makes the reel more comfortable for long fishing sessions without compromising performance.

• Air Rotor: The Air Rotor design significantly reduces the weight of the rotor without sacrificing strength. This contributes to better balance and smoother operation, especially during the retrieve.

• Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD): The ATD drag system provides smooth, consistent drag pressure to prevent line breakage during fights with large fish. It is especially useful when battling powerful species, ensuring the reel performs optimally without compromising your line.

• ABS Spool: The ABS (Advanced Ballistic System) spool reduces line friction, which leads to longer casting distances and better line management. This system is designed to work seamlessly with both braid and monofilament lines, reducing tangles and improving performance.

• Magsealed Technology: Magsealed technology uses magnetic oil to seal key parts of the reel, preventing dust, dirt, and water from entering. This helps improve the longevity of the reel by reducing corrosion and maintaining smooth operation.

• Solid Gear Construction: The Solid Gear technology enhances the overall durability of the reel, ensuring a longer lifespan and smoother performance under heavy usage.

• 5+1 Ball Bearings: The reel is equipped with 5 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing, ensuring smooth retrieval and efficient operation, minimizing friction.

• Ergonomic Handle: Designed for comfort, the handle ensures a secure grip, even in wet conditions. This feature helps reduce fatigue during long fishing sessions.
