NEW Emeraldas Air 2508PE

[Malestorm00]

Emeraldas is synonymous with high performance eging, and the new Emeraldas Air 2508PE is our highest performance eging reel ever, featuring literally all of Daiwa’s latest technological innovations like Digigear II, Magseal, Magseal Bearings, ATD, Zaion and Zaion Air Rotor.

For ultimate protection and longevity, Air utilizes Daiwa Magseal technology in the rotor to avoid any friction, preventing dust or water intrusion, eliminating oil spray, and improving rotary efficiency and reel life expectancy. Not content with just Magseal in the rotor the Air features Magseal bearings in the main body.

The pressures of possible continual water and salt impregnation destroys bearings quickly. Now with Magseal technology this is an issue of the past. Magsealed bearings are placed either side of the main gear to prevent foreign matter intrusion, increasing rotation smoothness and increasing part longevity.

Everything about is ultimate sensitivity and corrosion resistance, the body and Air Rotor is made from Zaion, this high-density graphite material is light, strong, sensitive and resists corrosion, it far exceeds the strength of magnesium in strength per unit weight comparison. Zaion transmits vibration through the reel like no other.

ATD or Automatic Tournament Drag, is a new introduction into the Daiwa spinning reel range. The biggest issue with many drag systems is that they are not smooth at the beginning and the spool often has movement under load. ATD rectifies this issue. ATD involves superior spool support/construction and an all-new drag material/grease. The spool has multiple support points and balance to eliminate any movement or wobble, at the beginning of a strike the drag starts smoothly, then increases to its pre-set drag rating in a fraction of a second, thus eliminating line breakage at the strike.

The new 2015 Emeraldas Air introduces innovations and unparalleled designs, with the combination of Magseal, Magseal Bearings, Air Rotor, ATD and Zaion making it Daiwa’s most sensitive technically advanced eging reel ever developed. You will feel more connected to jigs, detect more strikes and fight squid with ease….with Emeraldas Air you have Technology to Feel

Anyone still kinda reckon the emeraldas colossal would still sit above this, as daiwas No.1 Eging reel to date.

The white emma is my favorite.I still use mine for eging the colossal is a beast id love to have in my arsenal for the right price.
I think i saw somewhere that it had issues with paint or am i wrong?

For sure, I'd take an Emeraldas Colossal over the newer models.

Sits above a lot of reels IMO. Bit heavier than these new Zion reels, but it's a smooth tank of a beast if that makes sense??!!!!
See that the previous 2508pe-h model is for sale in Japan again. This is the made in Japan magseal model, not that horrible mx thing.
