About this piece
The Daiwa 24 Emeraldas X is the standard model in the Emeraldas lineup, refined for dedicated squid fishing. This updated version upgrades the rotor material from DS4 to ZAION V for reduced weight and increased rigidity. The adoption of AIRDRIVE DESIGN improves weight balance, significantly reducing the feeling of heaviness during repetitive jerking and retrieving motions.
Key features
- ZAION V rotor material reduces weight and increases rigidity compared to the previous DS4
- AIRDRIVE ROTOR and angled AIRDRIVE BAIL minimize line trouble during casting
- ATD TYPE-L drag system improves initial response for smooth, fast landings with thin PE lines
- MAGSEALED construction protects the main shaft and line roller from saltwater intrusion
- LC-ABS spool lip design enhances casting distance and reduces backlash
- Double handle configuration suppresses unintended handle rotation after jerking the squid jig
Best for
- Eging (shore-based squid fishing) with PE 0.6-0.8 main line
- Anglers seeking a lightweight, well-balanced spinning reel for repetitive jerk-and-retrieve techniques
- Pairing with Emeraldas series rods for a matched, high-performance outfit
