5 Things To Know

It uses a 45mm LC Long Cast spool, which is central to the reel's distance-casting design.
The Slow Cross Wrap system helps line sit evenly on the spool for cleaner release on the next cast.
The QDM drag gives quick adjustment, going from loose to locked in a few clicks when needed.
The spare deep spool gives anglers a second line-capacity option without buying another reel.
The 104cm retrieve per handle turn helps recover line efficiently from longer ranges.

Product Information

The Daiwa 23 Emblem 45 SCW QD Fishing Reel is a long-cast big-pit carp reel aimed at anglers who want Daiwa distance-reel technology without moving into the top Tournament price bracket. It is built around a 45mm spool stroke and a spare spool setup for venue flexibility.

The key casting features are the 45mm LC Long Cast spool and Slow Cross Wrap line lay. Together they help line leave the spool with less friction and sit neatly under pressure. Daiwa pairs that spool design with Digigear II, a ZAION V Air Rotor and QDM drag. The reel is therefore focused on long-range casting, controlled retrieve and fast drag adjustment.

The published specification gives a 4.9:1 gear ratio, 104cm retrieve per handle turn, 6 ball bearings, 620g weight and 15kg drag. It also includes a shallow C spool and a spare deep LD spool. The shallow C spool is useful for normal mono loading, while the deeper LD spool gives extra capacity for venues that need more line.

For a UK carp angler, this reel is a practical distance option for bigger waters, bait-boat work and clipped-up casting. It offers the main long-cast Emblem features with enough capacity to cover heavier mono and longer-range fishing.

Features and Specifications

Feature	What this means
45mm LC Long Cast Spool	A long stroke spool with Daiwa's Long Cast lip profile. Line leaves the spool in wider coils, reducing friction at the guides and adding genuine distance. A proven design across the Daiwa range.
Slow Cross Wrap	Daiwa's SCW oscillation system lays line in a very tight cross pattern. This creates an ultra-smooth spool surface that reduces friction on the cast and prevents line bedding in under tension.
ZAION V Air Rotor	ZAION is Daiwa's proprietary carbon composite material, lighter and stiffer than standard graphite. The Air Rotor design reduces rotating weight, so the reel feels more responsive and balanced during the retrieve.
QDM Drag System	Quick Drag Mechanism lets you go from free spool to your pre-set fighting drag in a quarter turn. Set your drag once, then flick between free and fighting mode without ever losing your setting.
Digigear II	Daiwa's digitally designed gearing system that uses computer modelling to create precisely cut gear teeth. The result is smoother engagement, less play, and better long-term durability under load.
Metal HIP Line Clip	High Impact Polymer clip in a metal housing that holds line securely without nicking or weakening it. Reliable clipping up is essential for consistent distance work.
Spare Spool Included	Comes with a spare spool (0.35mm capacity 530m), so you can have two different mainlines ready to swap. Useful if you want mono for one venue and braid for another without re-spooling.
