DAIWA BJ IKADA

The DAIWA BJ IKADA is a 200 g full-aluminium machine-cut reel combining structural rigidity with a responsive 65 mm blanked spool for precise raft-fishing control.

A 100 mm aluminium handle with high-grip I-shaped knobs supports powerful recovery, while the low-inertia spool allows light rigs and bait to descend smoothly.

DAIWA / BJ IKADA

High rigidity, low mass and precise control for ikada fishing.

BJ IKADA is a full-aluminium, precision machine-cut reel designed to combine rigidity, lightness and comfortable control on the raft.

A 65 mm blanked spool delivers responsive rotation for the smooth descent of light rigs, while the rigid frame and 100 mm handle provide confident winding against larger fish.

Product Overview

Machine-cut structure with refined spool response.

The one-piece frame and spool use forged aluminium machine-cut construction for body rigidity and powerful recovery. Careful removal of unnecessary material keeps total weight to 200 g despite the 65 mm spool and drag system.

The blanking pattern balances low mass with direct line access for thumb control. Reduced spool inertia improves rotation, allowing light sinkers and lightly weighted bait to descend smoothly.

Core Technology

Rigidity, spool response and direct winding leverage.

ONE-PIECE MACHINE-CUT FRAME

Forged aluminium machining provides a rigid, lightweight foundation.

65 MM BLANKED SPOOL

A carefully relieved aluminium spool supports responsive rotation and thumb control.

100 MM HIGH-GRIP HANDLE

A long machine-cut arm and I-shaped knobs support powerful, secure winding.

Technology Details

Precision components shaped around ikada technique.

Machine-Cut Aluminium Frame

One-piece structural rigidity

The forged, machined frame resists deformation under load and supports efficient transfer of handle input.

Blanking Spool

Light rotation and tactile line control

The distinctive openings reduce mass while giving the thumb direct, precise control of the line during descent.

High-Grip I Knobs

Secure handling in active bait work

The high-grip knob material is designed to resist retaining bait and groundbait odours and contamination.

Product Features

Built for smooth descent and controlled recovery.

Light-Rig Descent

Low spool inertia supports smooth falling performance with light sinkers or lightly weighted bait.

Thumb Control

The open spool geometry provides direct access for precise line control.

Powerful Recovery

The rigid frame and 100 mm handle support steady winding against larger fish.

Right / Left Choice

Models 65 and 65L provide hand-orientation options with identical published specifications.

Design Approach

Remove excess without compromising the structure.

BJ IKADA applies precision machining to both frame and spool, placing material where rigidity is needed and removing it where mass can be reduced.

The resulting 200 g reel couples a large 65 mm spool with responsive rotation and the leverage required for demanding ikada fishing.
