The Daiwa CYGNUS series represents a significant advancement in lever brake (LB) spinning reels, introducing the innovative Monocoque Body design to enhance performance and durability. This series caters to anglers seeking reliability and efficiency in their fishing gear.
Monocoque Body Design
The CYGNUS series features Daiwa's Monocoque Body, a design that eliminates the traditional side plates and screws, resulting in a one-piece shell. This construction enhances body rigidity and gear support precision, leading to a smoother rotation. The increased internal space allows for larger drive gears, improving winding power and rotational durability. Additionally, the design enhances waterproofing by improving sealing and incorporating Daiwa's MAGSEALED technology, which uses magnetic oil to prevent water and debris intrusion.
Material Composition
The reel's body is constructed from ZAION V, a carbon hybrid resin that offers high strength and light weight, surpassing traditional metal materials. The brake lever is made from ZAION, contributing to the reel's overall durability and performance.
Gear Ratios and Models
The CYGNUS series offers two gear ratio options to accommodate different fishing styles:
XH Models: Featuring a gear ratio of 6.6:1, these models retrieve 99 cm of line per handle turn, allowing for quick rig recovery. The 2500XH-LBD model is suitable for Nylon line #3-150m, while the 3000XH-LBD accommodates Nylon line #4-150m.
H Models: With a gear ratio of 6.2:1, these models retrieve 93 cm of line per handle turn, offering a balanced, all-around performance. The 2500H-LBD model is designed for Nylon line #3-150m, and the 3000H-LBD fits Nylon line #4-150m.
This range allows anglers to choose the model that best fits their fishing needs.
Technological Features
The CYGNUS series incorporates several of Daiwa's proprietary technologies:
BITURBO Brake System: Utilizing titanium discs, this system achieves twice the braking efficiency of previous models, providing powerful braking with minimal lever pressure. The time to reach the necessary braking force is reduced to a quarter of previous systems.
MAGSEALED: A magnetic oil barrier between the body and rotor prevents the intrusion of saltwater and debris, ensuring long-lasting smoothness and durability.
ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag): This system provides a smooth and consistent drag performance, automatically adjusting to the fish's movements, allowing anglers to focus on the fight without constant drag adjustments.
AIRROTOR: Featuring a unique arch-shaped design, the AIRROTOR evenly distributes stress, achieving significant weight reduction without compromising strength. This design enhances rotor balance and provides a lighter, more responsive rotation.
ZAION V: A carbon hybrid resin developed to make reels lighter and stronger, offering a high level of versatility and performance.
These technologies work together to provide a high-performance fishing experience.
The Daiwa CYGNUS series combines innovative design and advanced technology to offer anglers a reliable and high-performance reel suitable for various fishing applications.
