Description

26GEKKABIJIN BF TW PE SPECIAL (26月下美人 BF TW PE SPECIAL) is a PE-line-only baitfinesse casting reel from Daiwa's GEKKABIJIN light saltwater game line, which has targeted aji and large mebaru since its 2005 debut.

Built for low-trajectory pitching of micro lures and improved casting distance on PE line, it pairs an SS MAGFORCE-specific 28mm G1 duralumin PE-only spool with a TWS level wind for maximum line-release performance. A magnesium frame and gear-side plate with an aluminum set plate keep the reel compact and light, and HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR delivers a smooth retrieve at an 8.5 gear ratio. A drag-out click supports fine tension control by sound.

Recommended for jig heads of 0.8–5g; the PE-only spool is rated for PE0.4号-50m and is not designed for nylon or fluorocarbon line. Available in 8.5R and 8.5L handle configurations.

Information

The drivetrain

A magnesium frame and gear-side plate with an aluminum set plate keep the reel compact and light, and HYPERDRIVE DIGIGEAR delivers a smooth 8.5:1 retrieve built specifically around PE line rather than nylon or fluorocarbon.

What it's built for

For light saltwater game fishing aji and large mebaru with very light jig heads, where low-trajectory pitching accuracy and casting distance on thin PE line matter most.

How it fishes

Pitch 0.8-5g jig heads on a controlled arc and work them with slow lifts and falls; the drag-out click gives audible feedback on tension, useful when a bite comes on slack line.

Spools and spares

Pair with a dedicated ajing/mebaru bait-finesse rod, PE0.4 main line straight through or with a short fluorocarbon leader, matched to the reel's PE-only spool.
