Dark in looks and unmatched in style and swagger the 2018 Ryoga baitcaster sets a new standard in baitcaster power, performance and precision. Integrating many of Daiwa's most famous technologies the Ryoga once again takes baitcaster design to the next level with a host of advanced and precision focused new features standing this reel out from the pack when it comes to heavy-duty baitcaster excellence. An ultra-strong, alloy frame and side plates are the foundation of the Ryoga and provides an immoveable platform, regardless of what's thrown at it.  Ryoga's High Mesh gear system delivers a level of gear smoothness and strength like we've never seen before with its oversized, precision cut, multi teethed gears ensuring ultimate cranking smoothness, refinement and strength. Powerful and unyielding ATD gives you the power to take control of whatever crosses your angling path. A new large clicking machined aluminium star drag puts this control in easy reach, with its super light, ergonomic design making it easier than ever to crank the power up when needed. Flawless in design, stunning in looks and style, and unparalleled in performance and power, the new Ryoga is the most revered heavy duty baitcaster Daiwa has ever produced and the ultimate big bait reel. Feel Alive, feel Ryoga.
