MONOCOQUE BODY A single piece sealed body. The future of DAIWA spinning reel technology consists of light, tough and compact design concepts, which has lead to the birth of MONOCOQUE design. MQ body design is a one piece, light weight body crafted from a rigid material to support the internal mechanism.

reels use 3-4 screws to attach the body cover onto the main body. Damage can occur to the body screws when a strong force is applied. This can cause damage
