Daiwa Auto 1657M High Speed Rear Drag Reel - Made In Japan - Match Fishing

Brand: Daiwa Model: Auto 1657M (Graphiter Series) Origin: Made in Japan Type: Rear Drag Match / Spinning Reel Condition: Good used condition. Bail arm, anti-reverse, and clutch are all fully functional and tested.

Proven Japanese Engineering for Match and Coarse Angling The Daiwa 1657M is a classic rear-drag reel that has earned a reputation for longevity and smooth performance. Manufactured in Japan, this reel was built to a standard that remains relevant for modern freshwater challenges. It is particularly favoured by match and pleasure anglers who require a fast, efficient retrieval for float or light ledger work.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Auto Cast System: Features the famous Daiwa finger-trigger bail trip, allowing for fast, one-handed casting—ideal for frequent casting on rivers or busy match sessions.

• High-Speed Retrieval: Designed to bring tackle back quickly, increasing efficiency when building a weight of fish.

• Rear Drag Adjustment: The clutch is easily accessible at the rear of the reel, allowing for safe and immediate tension adjustments while playing fish.

• Graphite Construction: Built with a "Graphiter" body and spool to provide a lightweight feel without sacrificing the structural integrity of the frame.

• Versatile Species Application: Though designed with match fishing in mind, its robust Japanese internals make it equally suitable for spinning for perch or light lure work.

This reel has been out of regular use for a while but has been thoroughly checked. It functions as intended and is ready to be put back to work on the bank.
