Daiwa Certate HD 4000 Spinning Reel

The smoothest, most powerful reel

The Daiwa Certate HD 4000 Spinning Reel introduces
unparalleled design with the combination of Monocoque, Magseal,
Magseal Bearings, Air Rotor, ATD and Zaion, making it Daiwa’s most
sensitive and powerful technically advanced reel ever developed.
You will feel more connected to lures, detect more bites and fight
fish with ease.

The first thing you notice when you pick up the Daiwa
Certate HD 4000 Spinning Reel is its solid feel. The
machined superalloy body and Zaion rotor are incredibly strong yet
lightweight. Its precision engineering supports the re-vamped high
accuracy Digigear II drive and silent oscillation system to produce
smoother rotary efficiency and increased cranking power like never
before. Combine this with Magsealed and Magsealed Bearings and the
16 Certate is the smoothest, most powerful reel Daiwa has ever
released.

Magseal
Given the popularity of saltwater fishing, reducing water
penetration into the reel is a major goal to minimise corrosion and
promote longer life and better performance. If saltwater
infiltrates a reel and dries, it crystallizes, and then erodes
gears and bearings.

Through years of research and development, Daiwa found the solution
– a membrane of magnetic oil, in conjunction with magnets between
the body and the rotor of the reel, which greatly reduces the
penetration of water inside the body via the main shaft. Being
magnetized this lubrication system avoids any friction, reduces
dust intrusion, eliminates oil spray and improves reel life
expectancy.

Magsealed Ball Bearing
After the Line Roller, prevention of water ingress into the gear
system via the reel handle is the next revolutionary step to
maintain ultra smooth rotation and longevity of the reel.
Traditional bearings require packing with grease or oil and metal
or rubber seals which can restrain contamination by water and
foreign matter.

This creates friction and impedes smooth rotation of the reel,
while minimal twist in the bearings during rotation, can result in
penetration of foreign matter, causing abnormal noise and declined
rotational performance.

Daiwa has improved the use of traditional CRBB ball bearings by
combining them with a fully contained external Magsealed membrane.
Water intrusion via the Magsealed Ball Bearings is now a thing of
the past, and when they are placed into the gearbox system of the
reel, they prevent invasion of water and dust, maintaining the
bearings original light, ultra smooth performance. Preventing dust
and salt intrusion, greatly reduces reel noise and corrosion and
ultimately improves the long-term durability of the reel.

Air Rotor
Air Rotor has been standard on many Daiwa reels now, but 16 Certate
introduces the lightest and strongest rotor. Sensitivity is one of
the strongest attributes of Air Rotor. The rotor is made from a
highly sensitive, high density carbon resin called Zaion. Zaion is
a new material, composed of carbon resin and long carbon fibres.
This high-density material is light, strong and resists corrosion,
used in many of Daiwa’s reels, it far exceeds the strength of
magnesium in a strength per unit weight comparison.

Zaion transmits vibration through the reel more efficiently than
ever before. By hollowing out the rotor system, a lighter
construction is created with more surface area, resulting in
increased strength and greater transmission of vibration. With a
decrease in weight, the balance has been fine tuned. A lower centre
of gravity and precise centre of axis allows the rotor to spin more
efficiently with perfect balance. This decrease in weight,
increased surface area and new Zaion construction transmits lure
vibration to the angler like never before.

ATD
The biggest issue with many drag systems is that they are not
smooth at the beginning of the drag. ATD or Automatic Tournament
Drag is the newest introduction into Daiwa spinning reels. On one
level ATD implements structural changes to the spool metal of the
reel that provides greater support of the spool across the entire
length of the main shaft. This additional support of the spool
reduces spool twist under load, promotes more even pressure on the
drag washers and ultimately reduces “pulsing” of the drag when
fighting the fish.

The second aspect of ATD, is an improved drag grease that exhibits
a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after
drag start up. This reduces initial drag startup inertia and
combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results
in a smoother drag from the initial hook up, allowing you to
concentrate on the fight.

Monocoque Body
Strength is everything in a larger reel. A solid base is the most
important component for any reel. 16 Certate HD introduces an
all-new design… Monocoque Body. The Monocoque body is a
symmetrical, one-piece structure that will revolutionize future
generations of spinning reel design.

The Certate HD (heavy duty) 3500 and 4000 models were designed for
offshore fishing or lure casting from rocky shores to target hard
fighting fish like Kingfish. They need to be strong and resilient
to the elements. Originally the HD models were extremely popular,
introduced more than 10 years ago. Daiwa re-introduces the HD
models into the 16 Certate range, with a focus on body strength
that is delivered through this revolutionary new body design.

The gears of the new Certate HD models are embedded in the
one-piece Monocoque body construction. Previously the body and a
side cover/plate held the gearing in place. The new design allows
the HD models to be more rigid, with a better sealing mechanism,
heralding the arrival of the next generation in reel design

The new HD models will give anglers opportunities for more powerful
fishing styles with lighter tackle.
