Target trophy saltwater gamefish with confidence. The Daiwa Free Swimmer EX BR is a cutting-edge baitrunner-style spinning reel engineered for maximum performance in the harshest marine environments. Whether you’re chunking bunker for stripers, live-lining mackerel for tuna, or drifting bait for bull reds, the Free Swimmer EX BR delivers rock-solid reliability and precision power.
ATD Drag System (Automatic Tournament Drag):
Proprietary drag grease becomes more viscous under load, reducing start-up inertia and creating a smoother drag curve. Instantly responds to surging fish without line breaks.
DIGIGEAR Digital Gear Design:
Digitally engineered gears are up to 40% larger with deeper teeth for superior torque, smooth rotation, and long-lasting durability — up to 3x the lifespan of competitor reels.
Lightweight Air Rotor Technology:
15% lighter than standard rotors. The arched design minimizes vibration, optimizes balance, and boosts winding sensitivity under pressure.
Sizes Available:
8000 and 10000 — ideal for inshore to offshore battles, from stripers and snook to tuna and tarpon.
Machined Screw-In Aluminum Handle:
With a Power Round EVA knob for enhanced grip and cranking leverage during intense fights.
Alloy Sideplate Construction:
Delivers structural strength while maintaining light weight and corrosion resistance.
O-Ring Sealing System:
Keeps saltwater and debris out, enhancing reel longevity in harsh environments.
At The Saltwater Edge, we only stock gear that meets the demands of serious saltwater anglers. The Free Swimmer EX BR sets a new standard for baitrunner-style reels with elite drag control, oversized gearing, and salt-rated design—all in a balanced, easy-to-fish package.
