The Daiwa 23 LONGBEAM 35 06PE is a specialized surfcasting reel designed for anglers who prioritize absolute casting distance and lightweight performance. Built with Daiwa’s revolutionary ZAION V carbon hybrid resin, this reel achieves a remarkable balance of strength and lightness, weighing in at just 450g. It is engineered specifically for finesse surfcasting in New Zealand, making it an excellent choice for targeting Snapper and Trevally from the beach when maximum range is required.

At the heart of the Longbeam is the 35mm Long Cast (LC) spool, featuring a 2-degree taper that minimizes line friction during release to deliver exceptional cast distances. The reel utilizes a slow cross-wrap oscillation system to ensure perfect line lay, which is critical for preventing tangles with fine braid. While it offers a powerful 15kg locking drag, this model is optimized for 06PE lines, catering to the growing trend of light-line surf fishing for increased sensitivity and distance.

• ZAION V Body & Rotor – Utilizes a carbon hybrid resin to significantly reduce weight while maintaining the rigidity of metal for a solid cranking feel.
• 35mm Long Cast Spool – Features a 35mm stroke and 2-degree taper designed specifically to maximize casting distance and line release speed.
• Magsealed Technology – Prevents water and salt intrusion into the main shaft, ensuring long-lasting smoothness in harsh saltwater environments.
• Slow Cross Wrap – precision line winding system that prevents the line from digging in, ensuring trouble-free casting with thin PE braids.
• Machined Aluminum Handle – Equipped with an 85mm lightweight aluminum handle for high rigidity and stable winding power under load.
