Description

A compact boat reel with a digital line counter, built for the Japanese market. A backlit large-digit LCD and simple two-button operation (left button: power on/off, right button: reset/light) keep it easy to run at the rail, and the battery (CR2032) is user-replaceable. One reel covers light games like tairaba, ika metal (metal squid jigs) and bachikon ajing, as well as offshore styles like light bishi-aji, light gomoku (mixed-species bottom fishing), and tachiuo (cutlassfish) tenya.

Features a gunwale alarm that warns when tackle nears the boat rail, a C6 carbon frame and crank side plate, a carbon matrix drag with clicker, Salt Shield ball bearings to cut salt-crystal noise, and a backup ratchet for unexpected big fish.

Variants: MAX DLC / MAX DLC-L (gear ratio 5.8:1, 105mm handle), MAX DLC P / MAX DLC P-L (gear ratio 5.8:1, 60/70mm handle), MAX DLC H / MAX DLC H-L (gear ratio 7.0:1, 105mm handle), MAX DLC MHP / MAX DLC MHP-L (gear ratio 6.4:1, 60/70mm handle). Max drag: 5kg. Bearings: 5 ball + 1 roller. Weight: approx. 220g.

Information

The drivetrain

A backlit large-digit LCD and simple two-button operation keep depth tracking easy at the rail, while a gunwale alarm warns when tackle nears the boat side and Salt Shield bearings cut down on salt-crystal noise building up over a season of use.

What it's built for

Covers light games like tairaba, ika-metal and bachikon ajing as well as light bishi-aji, light gomoku and tachiuo tenya, wherever a compact digital line-counter reel suits the vertical technique being fished on a given day. Local knowledge of the venue and season helps decide exactly when this gear will out-fish a more general-purpose setup.

How it fishes

Gear ratio varies by variant from 5.8:1 through to 7.0:1, so pick the P (power) handle version for winching bigger baits from depth or the H (high-speed) version for faster line pickup when working jigs. Small changes in cadence often make the difference between a follow and a committed strike from a cautious fish.

Spools and spares

Pair with a light boat rod matched to the target species and technique, spooled to the reel's stated PE capacity and a leader suited to the depth and bottom being fished. Fine-tune line and leader strength up or down slightly to suit local conditions and the average size of fish encountered.
