The Daiwa 20 Emblem 45 SCW QD-OT is the same as the Daiwa 19 Emblem 45 SCW QD but with some old school touches. It comes with a 45mm profile spool with slow oscillation giving a slow cross wrap with the line, enhancing the line lay but in gold, not black. This is an old school signature of Daiwa, putting a gold spool on a reel like the classic Tournament SS2600 and SS1600. However, the quick drag spool cap and High Impact Line Clip still keep a modern touch.

For those of you who like to keep your rods close together, they are fitted with a folding handle arm and another Daiwa classic, the Wooden handle knob. In addition, the Daiwa 20 Emblem 45 SCW QD-OT comes with two spools, a shallow and a deep long cast one.

The shallow spool holds 300 meters of 0.35 diameter line, and the long-distance spool holds 530 meters of 0.35 diameter line. The retrieval rate is 104cm per complete handle turn, gearing 4.9:1.
