The Daiwa 17 Crosscast 5000 is an entry-level powerhouse designed for dedicated shore anglers targeting the expansive coastlines of New Zealand. Built with a durable DS4 body and Daiwa's innovative Air Rotor system, this reel provides lightweight rotation without sacrificing the structural integrity needed to muscle in big Snapper or Kahawai from the surf. Its 35mm long-cast stroke spool and cross-wrap line lay ensure you can maximize your casting distance when punching baits out past the breakers.

• DS4 Body & Air Rotor – Reduces overall weight while distributing load evenly for a smoother, stronger rotation under pressure.
• 35mm Long-Cast Stroke – Optimises line release from the spool, allowing for maximum casting distance from the beach or rocks.
• Digigear II System – Delivers digitally perfected, machine-cut gearing for highly efficient power transfer and extreme durability against large fish.
• Twist Buster II – A tapered line roller that significantly reduces line twist, a crucial benefit when repetitively surfcasting.
• Cross Wrap Line Lay – Maximises line management by preventing braid or monofilament from digging into the spool under heavy drag loads.
• 15kg Max Drag – Provides serious stopping power to turn the heads of large pelagics or oversized bottom-dwelling species.
