Daiwa BG MQ ARK 18000 Spinning Reel

Grab gold medal performance and looks

Bringing rockstar looks to the rockstar performance of the 20 BG MQ, the new Daiwa BG MQ ARK 18000 Spinning Reel has it all. Striking in black and gold and featuring Daiwa’s legendary Aluminium Round Knob (ARK), the BG MQ ARK is loaded with all the innovation and technologies of the 20 BG MQ.

Monocoque Body (MQ) is the single biggest revolution in spinning reel design from Daiwa by totally eliminating the traditional two-piece body construction. MQ reels don’t use any side plates and feature a completely screwless body design which eliminates potential entry points for water and grime, and significantly enhances overall body strength and rigidity.

The MQ body construction not only has the obvious benefits of a stronger and more compact body design, it also delivers an increase in gear durability thanks to absolute zero movement of drivetrain components once installed inside an MQ body. Weather-sealing is also significantly improved, with seals visible in multiple locations throughout the reel, BG MQ is built for the harshest of environments.

Throughout the entire line-up of BG MQ, vast improvements have been made to almost all areas of the reel design. The drag has been improved both in maximum capacity but also in smooth overall performance, drastically reducing the friction of the Carbon ATD drag – BG MQ’s drag performance is unmatched by the competition.

Casting performance has also been improved with the implementation of Long Cast ABS (LC-ABS) spool design. LC-ABS spool design improves line flow from the spool, resulting in increased casting distances across the board with both heavy and light lines.
