Daiwa 25 Alphas BF TW 8.5L

Daiwa 25 Alphas BF TW

The “SS MAGFORCE” braking system, which further enhances bait finesse performance, finally makes its way into the ALPHAS series. Combining unprecedented low-trajectory yet long-range castability and smooth rotation with a solid, compact body, this model sets a new high standard for bait finesse reels.

Its key feature is the newly equipped 30mm diameter G1 duralumin bait finesse spool.

Thanks to the synergistic effect with SS MAGFORCE, it achieves a spool weight comparable to the ultra-small-diameter 28mm AIR spool. The SS MAGFORCE braking system overturns even the traditional drawbacks of larger-diameter spools, fully drawing out spool performance and, together with the TWS that maximizes line release, delivers a unique casting feel you can truly experience. It leads many bait finesse anglers into an even wider frontier.

Even though it belongs to a series specialized in finesse performance, the essence of a baitcasting reel—always targeting big fish—remains unchanged. As a next-generation bait finesse reel capable of handling even hard work, it is built around the bait reel design philosophy “HYPERDRIVE DESIGN.” It is designed not only for freshwater but also with saltwater use in mind. The full-metal body uses aluminum alloy for the main frame, gear-side side plate, and dial-side set plate, achieving both lightness and rigidity. It is also finally equipped with a drag clicker.

On the palming side, further slimming has resulted in an extremely compact form. Outstanding cast accuracy, operability, and the way it naturally fits into your hand all enhance tackle control, supporting the angler in every moment as conditions change—whether it’s stable casting form or the feel of the rod loading and unloading. Even the Magdial has been thoroughly refined for functional beauty with no weak points, aiming to combine easy adjustment through its larger diameter with prevention of accidental operation.

Assuming use in a wide variety of fields, two gear ratios are available.

The 6.3 gear ratio assists not only in worming, but also in maintaining straight-line stability and smooth retrieve with small plugs, shads, and tiny I-shaped plugs.

The 8.5 gear ratio supports ultra-precise, low-trajectory casting and fast line pick-up when controlling slack with all kinds of finesse lures such as neko rigs and small rubber jigs.
