Daiwa FRSW8000 Free Swimmer Spinning Reel

The Daiwa FRSW8000 Free Swimmer Spinning Reel is engineered for live bait fishing with a specialized "Bite & Run" drag system, delivering big fish stopping power. Its secondary rear drag system, often called a "Live-Liner" or "Bait-Runner" drag, allows for reduced drag pressure, enabling live baitfish to swim freely and enticing target species to take the bait undetected. This unique feature is especially effective for live-lining or chunking cut baits, increasing hook-up rates by letting fish run naturally with the bait before setting the main drag.

The Free Swimmer features Daiwa’s Air Rotor system, which provides balance, toughness, and sensitivity by reducing the rotor weight by 15%. This design minimizes vibration with a lowered center of gravity, resulting in smooth, stable winding performance. The reel is equipped with Daiwa’s waterproof Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) system, offering a consistent drag payout under varying speeds and pressure levels. This system is capable of delivering up to 22 lbs of max drag, ensuring the power needed to handle formidable species in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Built with a rigid, all-aluminum frame and Daiwa's robust oversized DIGIGEAR system, the Free Swimmer maximizes power transmission while promoting durability and long gear life. The machined aluminum screw-in handle with a large, rounded EVA knob provides extra leverage, making it easier to fight larger fish. The reel’s O-ring sealing ensures high waterproof performance, ideal for saltwater anglers facing challenging conditions. The FRSW8000 is a formidable tool for targeting large, aggressive fish, with features optimized for serious live bait anglers.

The Daiwa Free Swimmer FRSW8000 is an exceptional choice for anglers looking for reliability, durability, and specialized performance in live bait fishing applications. With advanced technologies and high-quality construction, this reel offers an edge for those targeting the toughest fish in their waters, providing smooth operation, durability, and high resistance to the harshest fishing environments.
