Daiwa Emeraldas MX Spinning Reel

Technology combines with stylish good looks and outstanding value in the new Emeraldas MX. Designed for the eging fisherman who wants it all, the newest reel to bare the famous Emeraldas name carries the same pedigree and performance of its predecessors to once again remain the choice of champions.

Loaded with innovative technologies including Real Four, Digigear II, Mag Seal, Air Rotor and ABS II the MX has the features, and performance to rival expensive hi-end reels yet comes with a price that will excite and looks that will entice.

The goods looks and performance start with the MX’s Zaion frame and delivers strength, sensitivity and weightlessness like only Zaion can. A high-density resin and carbon material, Zaion exceeds the strength of traditional reel body materials such as magnesium and alloy and is highly corrosion resistant, a must-have in the salty realm of squid fishing.

Vibration is transmitted through the reel more efficiently with Zaion and is lighter and stronger than a reel made with similar resins or graphites. The result is a bulletproof frame that eats up the rigours of squiding while remaining light, strong, and incredibly sensitive.

Daiwa’s Real Four is where it all begins when it comes to the MX’s run sheet of design leading technology, with Real Engine, Real Control, Real Endurance and Real Custom collaborating for unrivalled performance, refinement and quality.

Digigear II gear technology delivers a revolution in gear design, with its high-precision cutting technique achieving perfect gear meshing and ultra smooth performance. Made from super strong, corrosion resistant alloy enables lighter and stronger gears to be used, resulting in flawless gear engagement and operation. Digigear II is the perfect gearing system for the perfect eging reel.

Silent Oscillation further enhances the reel’s whisper quiet and silky smooth operation and delivers increased gear durability and function, while Daiwa’s Engine Plate technology provides direct pressure to the main body gears and bearings to enable the perfect meshing of gears.

Real Stopper technology combines with the MX’s Instant Anti Reverse to take reel precision and control to another level and eliminates rearward handle back play to zero for increased sensitivity, solid hook setting and perfect line control.

Smoother in the hand and stronger and more assured on the retrieve the Emeraldas MX 2508 PE is power and poise true to the Emeraldas name.

Locked tight and secure for ultimate protection Mag Seal protects and seals like never before.

A revolutionary new system that sets a new standard in reel protection, Mag Seal involves scientifically designed magnetized oil that forms an impenetrable seal that prevents, dust, water and salt intrusion, and eliminates oil spray associated with traditional non-magnetized seals.

Excluding reel destroying elements Magseal delivers unprecedented protection and improves the performance and extends the life of a reel.

Protection and performance a further enhanced courtesy of corrosion resistant ball bearings (CRBB). Shielded for extra protection CRBBs seal out sand, fine grit, salt crystals and other abrasives for extended bearing life.

Daiwa’s Air Rotor continues the Emeraldas’ trend for cutting edge designs, with the innovative rotor design delivering a host of performance benefits.

Lighter, stronger and more balanced, the new Zaion constructed Air Rotor features a precision engineered arch that provides exceptional line roller support and disperses pressure to the lower section of the rotor to reduce stressing and flexing.

The Air Rotor is further enhanced with a hollowed out construction reducing weight while increasing reel sensitivity and rotational balance. Better in every way, Air Rotor makes the Emeraldas MX 2508 PE as light as air, as smooth as silk, and a must-have for every egi angler.

Daiwa’s legendary Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTD) makes sure you have the power to stop any squid in its tracks, with the multi-carbon washer drag stack delivering silky smooth start-up and 7kg of drag. The new Emeraldas gives you both the finesse and power for eging domination.

Delivering ultimate control is a collaboration of Daiwa’s finest and most advanced line control technologies. Daiwa’s famous ABS II spools headline the collaboration with the reverse taper spool enabling greater line control and increased casting distance.

Unwanted line loops and tangles are a thing of the past, particular when using PE and braid lines, with the maximum use of a spool’s capacity now realized, along with unprecedented line control and friction reduction. ABS II tames your line both on and off the spool and makes for more hassle-free fishing, a bonus on nighttime squidging mission.

Twist Buster II and Air Bail also work seamlessly together to manage and feed line unencumbered and untangled onto the spooled to eliminate line dig-in and increase line pick-up and casting distance.

Loaded with Daiwa’s latest design innovations, and styled in true Emeraldas colours the new MX 2508 PE is the ultimate combination of technology, looks and value. Built like no other and priced like no other the egi scene as welcomed a new super reel in the Emeraldas MX 2508 PE.

Features:

ABS-II
Featuring the design and line control advances of the original ABS, ABS II features a more pronounced reverse taper spool that enables greater line control on the spool and increased casting distance.

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.

DIGIGEAR-II
More refined and precision designed than Digigear I, Digigear II involves a high precision machine cut and digitally design gears and feature a surface treated ultra-tough alloy drive gear and marine bronze pinion gear, designed to mesh together perfectly for optimized speed, power and durability.

DOUBLE HANDLE
Two handles can be better than one with the double handle design providing optimum rotational balance due to its symmetrical balanced design. Ideal for steady retrieve presentations or when better slack line control is desired. Double handle are common on eging reels.

EVA KNOB
Delivered enhanced angler comfort and contact, EVA knobs provide optimum contact in wet conditions.

INFINITE ANTI REVERSE
Daiwa’s advanced system that limits rearward backplay handle movement to almost zero for solid hooksets with less shock to the reel. The result is the elimination of handle slap-back and the unwanted release of line.

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.

SCREW IN HANDLE
Simplicity and effortless at its finest a screw-in handle features on our mid to high-end reels. Handle removal is as simple as back winding the handle, or forward winding for handle installation.

TWIST BUSTER II
The new and improved line twist reduction system takes line taming to another level with its tapered line roller enhanced to eliminate line twist like never before. More advanced and more equipped at reducing twist in fluorocarbon and mono than its predecessor, Twistbuster II is the answer to your line twist nightmares.

ZAION BODY
A high-density resin and carbon material, Zaion resists corrosion, and exceeds the strength of traditional reel body materials such as magnesium and alloy.
