DAIWA GENPAO ISHIDAI 17 GENPAO ISHIDAI 40 RIGHT

The Daiwa Genpao Ishidai 40 (Right) is a purpose-built boat baitcasting reel for the brutal, structure-heavy fight of stone bream and other hard-pulling bottom species. As a Daiwa Genpao Ishidai boat reel, it pairs serious cranking muscle with the corrosion resistance demanded by close-quarters work over rock and wreck.

Key features

• Size 40 boat baitcaster — a generous spool capacity suited to heavy mono and PE for fishing over snaggy ground at range.
• MAGSEALED ball bearings seal out seawater spray and grit, protecting rotation and preserving smooth performance in harsh marine conditions.
• ATD (Automatic Drag System) delivers smooth, progressive pressure that tracks a fish's lunges and helps turn powerful runs.
• High-gear retrieve recovers line quickly to lift fish clear of structure and reset between drops.
• Right-hand wind configuration with a robust handle arm for sustained leverage on big fish.

Who it's for / UK use

Built for heavy boat and bottom fishing, this reel suits UK anglers chasing hard-fighting species over reef, wreck and rough ground where fish bury into structure. The strong drag and rapid retrieve make it well matched to uptide and downtide work that demands you gain line fast and hold pressure through a determined run.
