The 26 Certate HD is purpose-built for anglers who refuse to compromise on strength or performance. Designed to thrive under constant load, high drag pressures, and demanding fishing styles, this heavy-duty model delivers confidence when it matters most.
At its core is Daiwa’s rigid Monocoque aluminium body, allowing for a larger drive gear that boosts torque, durability, and long-term reliability. Magsealed technology safeguards vital internal components from water and debris, maintaining smooth operation in both fresh and saltwater conditions.
AirDrive Design reduces start-up inertia and enhances balance, creating a lighter, more responsive winding feel without sacrificing power. Paired with Tough Digigear, the result is controlled, ultra-smooth power delivery when battling hard-fighting fish. Built to push boundaries, the 26 Certate HD is engineered to perform at the extreme—and keep going.
Features & Technology:
- 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.
- AIRDRIVE DESIGN - Daiwa’s new Airdrive Design, a four pillar (Airdrive Rotor, Airdrive Bail, Airdrive Spool, and Airdrive Shaft) design concept that reduces weight, and enhances rotational smoothness and responsiveness to create a reel that is next level in both form and function.
- MONOCOQUE 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.
- AUTOMATIC TOURNAMENT 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.
- TOUGH DIGIGEAR - A further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our brand new digitally designed, machine cut gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
