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 & grime, and significantly enhances overall body strength and rigidity. 

The screwless design principle of MQ bodies are also significantly more compact than a standard body design. Screws need material to grip to, and that means more overall size and more mass in traditional body designs. By replacing the side plate with a machined aluminium engine plate which screws directly into the reel body, MQ reels can maximise the internal space made available by using larger size drive gears than before.

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.

The MQ body construction not only has the obvious benefits of a stronger & 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.

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 & light lines.

Throughout the BG MQ range, improvements have been made specific to the size of each reel to maximise their performance and overall appeal to each target market.

Small size BG MQ (2500-4000) feature dramatically larger sized drive gears. Middle sized models 5000 & 6000 now feature the Rigid Air Rotor design, maximising strength and appeal for mid-weight sportfishing applications. Larger size BG MQ from 8000-20000 receive huge benefits as a result of the MQ body, with the leg & main body drastically increased in strength without increasing weight.

BG MQ marks a new era in affordable saltwater spinning reels from Daiwa, with MQ technology now available to the masses. BG MQ is built for the harshest conditions and is set to once again revolutionise the industry. Available from 2500-20000 size, BG MQ is now aligned with 20 SALTIGA sizing.

The Bait Junkie Prawn has been developed to mimic a prawn’s natural movements and is now available in 4 different sizes. The three segment body design aids in a natural sink, where the tail can splay and produce a natural gliding sink back to the bottom. The forward-facing legs derive from the 295 Flick’s tail design and have been adjusted to produce a subtle shimmy action on the retrieve to emulate the natural quivering movement of prawn’s legs.

Designed to be fished with a hopping style retrieve emulating a prawn fleeing from the bottom or a slow roll imitating a prawn moving in the current. The Bait Junkie Prawn will undoubtedly become a staple in the range and a favourite in all anglers’ boxes throughout Australia. The Bait Junkie Prawn is available in 2.35”, 3”, 5” and 7” sizes.

Not only is the bubble itself appealing, but it also blurs the outline and silhouette of the lure, making it difficult for wary fish to see through. The body is also available in colors that use Daiwa’s 3D multi-reflective structure “LASERIMPACT”. The realistic flashing like a baitfish also increases the visual appeal. In addition, the large cup can produce a sound similar to the sound of predation, so it can attract fish from far away with light and sound. In addition to being useful as a search lure, it can also be used in a wide range of scenarios.

It can be used at a good tempo with continuous action without diving too deep, so you can make the fish chase you for a long distance and get them to bite. It also has excellent long-distance casting performance.

EX Treatment – Smooth Line Surface

The EX treatment produces a smooth line surface, increasing casting distance and resisting the fibre against premature wear & tear.

Evosilicone3 Finish (Si3+)

Daiwa’s unique silicone coating technology significantly increases the lines durability (up to 150% more compared to the previous Si2+ coating).

Muscle PE

Muscle PE refers to Daiwa’s unique weaving method to produce a tightly woven high-spec PE line, the finest in its class.
