Daiwa Free Swimmer BR 8000 Reel

The Daiwa Free Swimmer BR 8000 is a high-performance spinning reel designed for serious anglers who target larger fish species, particularly in long-range fishing situations. Built for carp fishing, surfcasting, and big game fishing, this reel is equipped with the BR (Big Runner) system, which allows smooth and controlled line release, ideal for battling powerful fish on long runs.

Product Description:

The Daiwa Free Swimmer BR 8000 is part of Daiwa’s Free Swimmer BR series, which is designed with features that help anglers achieve long-distance casting, better line management, and consistent drag performance during intense battles with large fish. The BR system allows the reel to switch into free-spool mode, providing a smooth release of line, which is especially useful when fish are running or pulling long distances.

This reel features a Machined Aluminium Spool, which enhances the strength of the reel while providing smoother casting and greater line control. The Air Bail system ensures smooth line flow during retrieval, minimizing line tangles and reducing wear. Digigear technology is used in the gear system to offer a powerful and smooth retrieve, with added longevity and resilience.

The Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) system is another standout feature, providing precise drag adjustment for better fish control, especially when dealing with powerful fish runs. The Infinite Anti-Reverse system eliminates handle backplay, allowing for solid hooksets and better sensitivity when fighting fish.

With a high line capacity and powerful drag system, the Daiwa Free Swimmer BR 8000 is built to handle larger fish in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
