Beauty and brawn blends with quality and performance in the new value-packed Laguna baitcaster. A sleek and stylish ergonomic, low profile body sits comfortably in the hand and combines with the Laguna's advanced technologies and designs to create a reel that looks and feels as good as it performs.

With features and technology well beyond its price tag and with performance to rival many mid range reels the Laguna 100HDA is a reel that will take down the opposition and just about any fish that dare mess with it. Performance and value begin with the Laguna's rock hard body. Highly corrosion resistant and supremely strong the frame provides an impenetrable housing for Laguna's bulletproof gearing system.

Designed and engineered to perfection the Laguna's gears mesh seamlessly for unrivalled gear precision and power, while a large swept handle improves reel balance and performance by bringing the balance point of the reel closer to the centre axis of the reel for maximum cranking power and feel. Large ergonomic knobs provide a super comfortable connection between angler and reel, with their non-slip design putting power and control right in the angler's hand.

The rock solid frame and gears are equally matched by Laguna's all-powering Ultimate Tournament Drag (UTD) that dishes out an impressive 5.5kg of drag. Featuring a multi washer carbon drag stack the Laguna's UTD gives you the power to muscle fish the snags and puts the stopping power right in your hands. A large capacity, high strength spool provides plenty of room (5.5kg/110metres) for your favourite line while his perfectly balanced and refined construction ensures optimum reel and rotational balance both on the cast and on the crank.

Casting performance has never been better in an entry level baitcaster with Daiwa's Magforce magnetic cast control system delivers unrivalled casting control regardless of the conditions or an angler's casting experience and abilities. Backlashes are a thing of the past with the open access spool allowing full thumb access to the spool during the cast while the Magforce casting control system delivering trouble-free pinpoint casts every time.

Six ball bearings ensure optimum smoothness and rotational refinement, while a 6.3:1 retrieve ratio provides all-around suitability for a host of species and techniques. An amalgamation of strength, looks, and performance the Laguna 100HDA is the must-have compact baitcaster for those on a budget and those looking for power and strength in a reel.
