Daiwa Infinity X BR Reel

Description

With over 60 years of experience, Daiwa has built a reputation for producing high quality, high performance tackle, and the Daiwa Infinity X BR is a strong example of that. Since its release, the Infinity X BR has been a popular choice for anglers targeting tough, hard-fighting big fish, and it stands as one of the most comprehensive free-spool reels Daiwa has produced. The reel pairs two of Daiwa's key technologies. The first is the double axis BR mechanism. BR stands for Bite 'n' Run, Daiwa's freespool-to-full-drag system, which is operated by a rear lever and allows a fish to take line in a controlled freespool until you choose to engage the drag. This is combined with a big pit spool configuration, letting you load a large amount of line for long-distance casting. The 5000 size holds up to 370m of 14lb line, while the 5500 size holds up to 440m of the same line. Twistbuster II is fitted to the line roller, which virtually eliminates line twist on the cast, so you can cast thin monofilament or braided mainline with equal confidence. A micro-pitch front drag lets you set drag intensity precisely. The rotor is balanced using gyrospin technology, supporting the winding power promised by the 4.2:1 gear ratio, and infinite anti-reverse eliminates rearward backplay when cranking in the biggest carp. The reel is fitted with five ball bearings, which keep operation smooth on both the cast and the retrieve, and help prolong the performance life of the reel while reducing the risk of premature wear with proper reel care. The whole package weighs 27 oz. It is aimed at anglers targeting the largest fish in the UK as well as many of the continent's biggest species, and it comes with a free, full specification spool as standard.
