Daiwa 22 Free Swimmer Bite'N' Run 8000 Spinning Reel - FRSW8000 for Saltwater Fishing

22 Free Swimmer Bite'N' Run 8000 Spinning Reel - FRSW8000

A return to the foray of BiteNRun reels with Daiwas new FREE SWIMMER BR. BiteNRun is a key technology for keen live or dead bait anglers allowing fish to take baits under minimal line tension to ensure a solid hookset is achieved.

Designed in collaboration between Daiwa USA, Daiwa Australia, Daiwa New Zealand, and alongside Japanese engineers, FREE SWIMMER BR is a product five years in the making and a testament to Daiwas commitment to providing the best products to suit local conditions.

Anglers will set the BiteNRun tension by adjusting the dial on the bottom of the reel, a wide range can be set to suit unweighted baits for finicky feeders such as whiting, up to quite strong settings suitable to live baiting large baits for hard-fighting predators like Kingfish Mackeral.

FREE SWIMMER BR is built off a strong sturdy carbon composite frame and Air Rotor. The internals has been carefully sealed through careful design and implementation of rubber seals to make FREESWIMMER a true Saltwater BiteNRun reel. Careful attention to detail was paid throughout the design and prototype stages to make FREE SWIMMER BR capable of handling even the largest of New Zealand Kingfish Snapper.

FREE SWIMMER BR is equipped with a host of regular Daiwa technologies including Air Rotor, ATD Drag, Tough Digigear more to round out the best-performing BiteNRun reel Daiwa has ever produced.

BITE N RUN

BiteNRun is a key technology for keen live or dead bait anglers allowing fish to take baits under minimal line tension to ensure a solid hook set is achieved. The rear drag can be easily adjusted to provide optimum tension for each scenario.

AIR ROTOR

Lighter, stronger, and more balanced than any rotor system thats 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

Daiwas Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag starts 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.

TOUGH DIGIGEAR

Further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our brand new digitally designed, machine-cut gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.

The Daiwa 22 Free Swimmer Bite'N' Run 8000 Spinning Reel (FRSW8000) is a versatile and robust reel designed for serious saltwater anglers. Engineered through a collaborative effort between Daiwa USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Japanese engineers, this reel represents five years of dedicated development to meet the demands of local fishing conditions. Its durable carbon composite frame and Air Rotor construction ensure strength, lightweight performance, and enhanced sensitivity, making it ideal for targeting large saltwater species like Kingfish, Snapper, and Mackeral. The reel's sealed internals, protected by rubber seals, provide excellent corrosion resistance, allowing it to handle the harsh saltwater environment with confidence.

Features:

• BiteNRun technology: Allows fish to take bait with minimal line tension, ensuring solid hooksets across a range of fishing scenarios.

• Adjustable BiteNRun tension: Easily set via a dial at the reel's bottom to accommodate unweighted baits or heavy live baits for aggressive predators.

• Air Rotor: Made from Zaion, this rotor is lighter, stronger, and more balanced, reducing stress and flexing while increasing sensitivity and rotational smoothness.

• ATD Drag: Incorporates improved grease for smoother, more consistent drag performance from initial hook-up to fight.

• Tough Digigear: A digitally designed, machine-cut gear system that guarantees precise operation, durability, and smoothness during intense fishing sessions.
