New Toys - Autumn 2026
Check out these hot new products, fresh this autumn.
Daiwa Certate
The 26 Certate SW sets a new benchmark for saltwater spinning reels in New Zealand. Built with the Daiwa mantra ‘Be Strong. No Limit’ in mind, it pairs a rugged Monocoque body with Magsealed protection and Daiwa’s smooth ATD drag for reliable performance in the toughest offshore conditions. The introduction of Powerdrive Design – shared from the flagship 25 Saltiga – brings oversized DigiGear and a Powerdrive Rotor for superior power transfer, lighter rotation and enhanced control under load. From kingfish to tuna, this reel delivers strength, balance and durability for serious saltwater anglers. Get all the details here.
