TOUGH DIGIGEAR Forged & machined drive gear. Smooth oscillation with unbridled strength. Durable and long lasting, that is TOUGH DIGIGEAR. The drive gear within any reel is made from 3 key elements which cannot be missed. (Design Creativity, Processing Technology and Premium Quality Material) 22 EXIST consists of all 3 key elements. The latest digital analysis and machine cut technology is used to create a perfect surface on each tooth of the drive gear. By using the latest premium Duralumin material, precision designs deliver an incredibly smooth rotation quality. By applying a special treatment to the surface of the drive gear it has enhanced the reliability and feel for anglers. In some models, DAIWA has used a heavy duty pinion gear material which prioritises strength over all else. This material is similar to what is used in Saltiga. Models LT4000-XH and LT5000-CXH feature this added benefit.*
A special coating treatment is applied to the surface of the drive gear teeth to fur ther enhance strength and durability.
