Team Daiwa TD Fuego Baitcasting Reel
Super Lightweight Magnesium frame and sideplate keep reel weight to just 7.4 ounces for less fatigue and greater comfort.
Team Daiwa® Fuego™ Baitcasting Features:
- Six stainless steel ball bearings plus roller bearing
- Perforated aluminum spool, ultra-lightweight for fast startup
- Massive, seven-disc drag system with Daiwa’s exclusive Fiber Composite washers for ultra-smooth fish control
- Cut-proof, Titanium Nitrided line aperture
The Team Daiwa Fuego reel has been completely engineered from the ground up to provide bass anglers with the best high-tech features for a reasonable price. The Fuego is built on a solid, ultralight, one-piece magnesium frame, the first magnesium framed reel to get into this price range. A solid one-piece magnesium sideplate provides unmatched rigidity that guarantees that the drive train will stay in place for long life and cranking power.
The magnesium frame is built with a recessed reel foot to fit down low on your rod for easier palming and better rod control. Fuego features Team Daiwa’s exclusive Free Floating Spool that starts spinning with the slightest pressure, so you can cast the lightest lures possible. Daiwa re-designed their highly effective Magforce®-Z backlash control system to accommodate the U Spool, providing more line capacity with better and more precise backlash control than centrifugal brake systems.
When you hook a big bass, the massive seven-element disc drag will provide glass smooth fish fighting power and precise drag adjustment. The Fuego will out-perform other reels that will cost you a lot more. The Fuego comes in an attractive red and magnesium gray package that will tell other anglers on the water that you are an uncompromising angler that demands the best you can get in equipment.
Magnesium and saltwater are not “good buddies”, these reels are recommended for freshwater only. The Team Daiwa TD Fuego Baitcasting Reel with Magforce®-Z backlash control:
Manufacturer # - TD Fuego
Gear Ratio - 6.3:1
Weight - 7.4 oz
Line Capacity - 120yd /14 lb

The first thing you feel is the weight, better said the lack of it, thanks to an ultra-lightweight Magnesium frame and sideplate. And even with its compact, low-profile palming shape, Fuego™ (Foo-way-go, Spanish for Fire) packs in plenty of line capacity for just about any freshwater fishing need.
Unlike other reels, where the pinion gear constantly rides the spool shaft, Daiwa’s unique system floats the spool independently on precision, stainless steel ball bearings. Because the pinion rides its own separate shaft, the spool spins freely, unhampered by gear train friction when casting.
Extra Line Capacity U Spool maximizes line capacity while maintaining compact reel size.
AUTOMATIC MAGNETIC BRAKE
Magforce®-Z is the latest generation of Daiwa’s unique magnetic anti-backlash control for the experienced angler. It combines the best attributes of old-fashioned mechanical braking with today’s advanced magnetic braking technology.
MAGFORCE-Z LETS THE SPOOLSTART FASTER AND SPIN LONGER
Because magnetic braking is only applied at maximum spool speed, the spool reaches a higher peak speed and remains spinning longer.
As you start a cast, spool’s inductor cup is retracted from the magnets—so there’s no magnetic effect to slow the spool. Start-up is lightning fast.
As spool approaches maximum speed, inductor cup automatically moves into the gap between the magnets to apply smooth magnetic braking and prevent spool overrun.
As spool begins to slow, the inductor cup automatically retracts from the magnets—so the spool keeps spinning longer, unhampered by magnetic braking
