Daiwa’s range of TD Black reels and rods adorn the collections of avid anglers throughout Australia. Designed and developed specifically for the Australian market. Now in 2024, the TD Black MQ range of small spinning reels receives yet another technological advancement, with the inclusion of Airdrive Design.

The Daiwa 24 TD Black MQ now sports both of Daiwa’s crowning achievements in spinning reel design. A one-piece Monocoque (MQ) Body design focusing on the body of the reel to deliver strength and power, and Daiwa’s new Airdrive Design which redesigns the rotor, bail arm and other components to focus on operability & response. The new 24 TD Black is the most technologically advanced TD Black to date.

MQ allows for the use of larger gears for enhanced power, precision and longevity, with its single piece construction increasing body strength and rigidity and eliminating unwanted water and grime ingress into the reel. MQ body also allows a larger diameter drive gear to be installed in the same size body, further increasing gear durability & power.

Airdrive Design is the pursuit of ultimate response, a new lightweight rotor design & bail arm reduces the rotational mass which is required to spin around the spool with each rotation of the handle. This delivers lower start-up inertia & effortless reeling.

The Daiwa 24 TD Black’s list of designs and features doesn’t end there, with Tough Digigear for optimum reel power and refinement, Magsealed body providing unmatched protection from the elements, and ATD Type-L and ATD Carbon Drags deliver ultra-smooth stopping power and control. Stealth in looks and stacked with technology, the new 24 TD Black is set to be one of the heroes of the Daiwa spin reel range.

Features:

• MQ Body - MQ Body takes reel design to the next level. The MQ system does not require conventional side plate, instead using an engine plate to screw directly to the body. Eliminating the need for screws to hold a body cover in place. MQ body improves the strength of the reel, it also improves the water-resistance of the body and allows a larger diameter drive gear to be installed.
• AB Longcast - Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape.
• Air Bail - Daiwa’s innovative bail design features a hollow tubular stainless steel bail that delivers maximum rigidity and strength with minimum weight. Featuring a smooth protrusion-free design and construction line easily slides unencumbered along the Air Bail towards the line roller for trouble free line control.
• Air Rotor - Lighter, stronger and more balanced than any rotor system that’s come before, ‘Air Rotor’ delivers a great leap forward in rotor design and function and delivers the ultimate line roller support. Made from Zaion and featuring a redesigned arch that disperses pressure to the lower section of the rotor to reduce stressing and flexing, the design is further enhanced with a hollowed out construction reducing weight, while increasing reel sensitivity and rotational balance.
• ATD Drag - Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.
• CRBB - Lasting 12 times longer than standard stainless steel bearings Daiwa’s CRBBs feature specially treated stainless steel, and a protective shield on the bearing race that seals out sand, fine grit, salt crystals and other abrasives. The result is a longer lasting bearing that’s protected from the corrosive elements that destroy traditional bearings.
• Finesse Drag - Designed for low start-up inertia finesse applications, and where minute incremental adjustment, and silky smooth consistent drag pressure is required.
• Magsealed Body - Ultimate protection is delivered to the engine room of the reel with a magnetised oil seal located on the main shaft of the reel’s rotor shutting the door to the elements and unwanted intruders. Dust, water, and salt intrusion into the inner workings of a reel are a thing of the past with MagSeal.
• Tough Digigear - A further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is Daiwa's brand new digitally designed, machine cut gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
• Zaion V Body - A new generation of lightweight Daiwa’s resin and carbon material. The Zaion V material is both strong and incredibly lightweight.
