| 2005年 |
The lineup included the two new models, 2004 and 2506. These new models were 10g lighter than the original model (Size 2000) and 15g lighter (Size 2500) thanks to the use of AIR SPOOL, and is equipped with a “Finesse Tournament Drag” specially designed for light lines allowing smooth control. In addition to finesse fishing for bream and bass using 3-8 lb. line, this model attracted attention as the best match for the rapidly growing popularity of finesse and light salt game at the time. |

The long-awaited heavy-duty custom model for salt anglers, which made the toughness of CERTATE stand out even more, was launched. Equipped with 3500 PE-compatible spools, and the drag rigidity was increased. Also equipped with 65mm machine cut handle and RCS Power Light knob as standard. This model is versatile enough to be used for casting for dolphinfish and bonito, shore jigging with jigs of around 60 to 80g, and light jigging from a boat. As a symbol for high-power small spinning reels, this model has gained tremendous popularity. |
| 2006年 |
Size 2500 spool and rotor are fused with the Size 3000 body. This special power-tuned model has lightweight operability and a winding power that surpasses that of the original Size 3000. A limited-edition custom model was released in the first year of the first generation CERTATE and became popular among ambitious anglers who used thicker nylon line and PE to challenge big fish. It was revived in 2006 in response to the loud voice of passionate anglers. This was particularly evident in Australia as the R-CUSTOM was the perfect reel for targeting our hard fighting species. |

The high-strength special alloy machine-cut DIGIGEAR that was at the heart of the SALTIGA-Z, the flagship of large size spinning reel, was renamed “HYPER DIGIGEAR” when it was successfully made compact to high precision. The CERTATE 2500 and above equipped with this gear was newly renamed HYPER CUSTOM and released to the world. The new CERTATE was released under the new name of HYPER CUSTOM. It was a stronger version of the CERTATE that could be used techniques that required power like jigging, offshore plastics, shore casting, and barramundi, and it captured the hearts of anglers. Today, the bloodline of HYPER DIGIGEAR supports the heart of CERTATE as TOUGH DIGIGEAR. |

After six long years, the 10CERTATE underwent its first full model change, the most significant change was the introduction of MAGSEALED, the first reel to be equipped with this revolutionary technology. |

Line roller is the rotating part of a spinning reel that is most exposed to water. 13CERTATE has achieved revolutionary high durability by applying MAGSEALED to the line roller, making this problem a thing of the past. Furthermore, ZAION, a lightweight and highly rigid carbon-containing resin, is used as the material for the AIR ROTOR, reducing the weight of the Size 2500 by 10g, while also achieving light unwinding and smooth operability. In addition, the increased rigidity of the rotor unit with ZAION, in synergy with the full metal (AL) body, further confirmed the confidence in the strength that CERTATE has built up over the years. MAGSEALED provides water resistant and dustproof construction utilizing magnetic fluid realises remarkable durability and long-lasting initial performance. This is a direct evolution of the REAL ENDURANCE, one of the REAL FOUR Concepts, which is responsible for durability, that allows CERTATE’s signature powerful, yet light and smooth performance to be maintained for an extremely long period of time. The rotor has also undergone a revolutionary change. The AIR ROTOR, with its optimised rim construction, has opened a new door for spinning reels, together with MAGSEALED, by reducing the weight while maintaining strength. |

Equipped with newly developed MAGSEALED ball bearings on both ends of the drive gear. In addition to the pinion and line roller sections, the 16CERTATE has acquired a solid water resistance and durability. 16CERTATE’s rotor unit achieved a weight reduction of more than 10% through the development of a newly shaped ultra-lightweight AIR ROTOR. The rotor’s significantly lower inertia has improved rotational performance by more than 10% and increasing the sensitivity of the winding. In addition, all sizes are equipped with the next-generation drag system, ATD. Most notable of all was the revival of the heavy-duty (HD) model, which had disappeared from the 10CERTATE series. This was the first model to be equipped with the MONOCOQUE BODY that has taken the fishing world to then next stage, redefining the meaning of “strength”. |

In response to the era of PE line and the trend toward lighter tackle, DAIWA introduced a new concept for its spinning reels. 19CERTATE was designed based on the LT concept, and having MONOCOQUE BODY in all models was inevitable. The one-piece, integrally molded structure minimizes flexure and distortion, which had been the fate of previous two-piece structures. The “toughness” pursued in the LT concept was at the same time a continuous evolution of the REAL ENGINE and REAL ENDURANCE of the first CERTATE’s REAL FOUR concepts. Also, it’s important to note that the MONOCOQUE BODY contributed greatly to the “lightness” of the LT concept, through weight reduction. Comparing the old and the new 2500 size, the weight was reduced by an astonishing 35g. |
| 2024年 |
Daiwa wanted to create spinning reels that people will can use with confidence for many years to come. Not for anyone in particular, but for all anglers. The philosophy behind CERTATE has remained unchanged over the past 20 years. |
