Lightweight eging reel with air rotor and zion handle for sensitive squid fishing.
The 2017 Daiwa Emeraldas MX is a 2508PE single-handle spinning reel built around squid fishing, known as eging, with a spool sized for braided line. It weighs 7.1 oz and picks up 28.3 inches of line per turn of the handle. Maximum drag is 15.4 lb, and the spool holds 150 m of 0.8 PE or 120 m of 1 PE. The salt-compatible build, with Air Rotor and ATD drag, suits anglers working saltwater shorelines.
