Daiwa Free Swimmer EX BR – Unmatched Drag, Power, and Saltwater Durability

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.

Key Features:

• 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.
