DAIWA CATALINA

DAIWA CATALINA

CATALINA is a robust offshore jigging bait reel engineered for powerful winding, smooth rotation and dependable drag performance under sustained load. Its full-aluminum housing supports the drive train with the rigidity demanded by nearshore jigging and slow-pitch work.

HYPER DIGIGEAR uses high-strength C6191 material and a larger gear diameter to support durability and powerful retrieve. ATD follows changes in fish pressure smoothly, while the 50 mm high-strength aluminum spool and replaceable-spool structure make it easier to adapt line selection to conditions.

Core Technology

Engineering for sustained offshore performance.

HYPER ARMED HOUSING (FULL AL)

Aluminum alloy is used for the frame, handle-side plate and set plate, creating a full-metal structure that supports precise winding under load.

HYPER DIGIGEAR

C6191 drive-gear material, increased diameter and computer-analyzed tooth geometry combine powerful winding with smooth engagement.

ATD

Smooth startup and continuing drag response help the angler stay focused as fish pressure changes.

High-Strength Aluminum Spool

A 50 mm spool covers line capacities from PE 1.5-600 m to PE 3-300 m across the two models.

Technology Details

Practical systems, clearly resolved.

Super Metal Housing

High-strength aluminum construction reduces twisting during retrieve and limits power loss. The body shape, long clutch bar and large star drag were developed around secure holding and practical operation.

Quick Spool Replacement

Three captive side-plate screws allow the cover and genuine spool to be removed with the supplied hex wrench. This supports rapid response to line breakage or a change in PE size.

Mechanical and Centrifugal Brakes

A large mechanical-brake knob can be adjusted with the thumb. Interchangeable centrifugal brake collars support light underhand casting when used with the mechanical brake.

Perfect Double Stopper

A mechanical stopper supplements the primary anti-reverse system as a durable safety mechanism.

Click Mechanism

The clicker sounds as line is pulled out for tasks such as threading line through guides; it is not intended for fighting fish while engaged.

Product Features

Designed around time on the water.

Rigid Winding

Full-aluminum structural support helps retain alignment under heavy jigging load.

Operational Control

Large drag and brake controls remain accessible while gripping the reel.

Broad Offshore Range

The two models cover nearshore jigging through mid-deep slow-jigging applications.

Serviceable Spool

Genuine-spool replacement supports line changes and recovery after a high break-off.

Development Story

A field-led engineering direction.

CATALINA was developed as a field-first jigging reel: a rigid body, strong gear set and practical controls come before decorative complexity. The 15H-SJ tester program specifically targeted a familiar, sensitive slow-jigging feel, secure palming and reduced fatigue during long retrieves.
