New Economically Priced Millionaire S Series Sports Top Features & High-Grade ComponentsDaiwa Exclusive: Long-Spin Spool(Wednesday, December 01,1999 - CERRITOS, CA) Sporting high-performance features unavailable from any other manufacturer, Daiwa's Millionaire S reels offer fresh and saltwater fisherman X-Treme casting and fish fighting performance for $89.95 or less. "You get to a point where adding more ball bearings doesn't necessarily increase performance. Regardless of how many ball bearings you put in a casting reel to reduce friction, two other elements weigh heavily. First you have the shaft which remains connected to the gear train even when the reel is in so-called free-spool; and second, you have the cast control which typically remains ON to some degree even when turned OFF" explained Bill Steiner, Daiwa VP of Sales and Marketing. "Daiwa engineers have successfully addressed these obstacles in a very cost-effective way," said Steiner. The new Millionaire-S reels join Daiwa's other revolving spools reels with a distinction no other manufacturer can produce: Absolute Free-Spool, Steiner said. First, Daiwa's exclusive Super Speed Shaft TOTALLY disengages the spool from the gear train in free spool. This allows the spool to float independently (totally free of the pinion gear) on precision, stainless steel ball bearings. The second factor Daiwa uses to attain absolute free spool is it's exclusive new Centriflex‘ spool brake system which automatically turns on and off one time during a cast. There is no braking at the start of a cast because the Centriflex's brake blocks are retracted. Triggered by the spool's RPM, the brake blocks automatically push against the brake drum as the spool approaches maximum speed. When the spool begins to slow, the brake blocks automatically retract to the OFF position. Daiwa's unique, patented Centriflex brake system provides just the right amount of braking tension at the precise moment it is needed. Only Daiwa spool brake systems turn on and off during a cast to allow your spool to keep spinning longer. The Super Speed shaft also contributes to a long spool run. Result: Much longer casts! The Centriflex system is easily adjustable. Housed inside the reel's waterproof screw-on sideplate, the centrifugal force adjustment knob is quickly accessible yet out of the way when the battle is on.
