When originally launched the Windcast name set a new standard in big pit performance.

This QDA model embraces many of the top features of the previous family with some improvements of its own including stunning looks; of course.

At its core is the increased accuracy of gear meshing thanks to Digigear II, enhancing its smooth feel and power conversion under loading. This is further assisted by the strength of Air Rotor and Air Bail.

When it comes to big distances the Windcast is ready with the HIP high impact line clip and amazing retrieval of 106cm even with a sub 5.0:1 ratio.

QD Drag offers total control of free spool and fish playing in one action and the full spec spare spool on all models ensures a second line choice.

The family is rounded of nicely with a classy Spod n Mark version featuring a 5.5:1 ratio and retrieval if 120cm per handle turn. That’s the same as the classic Emcast Spod.

    This real is unbeatable for the price. Reliable and smooth. These feel like a much more expensive reel.

    Smooth and long casting reel. More compact than my other reels for Marking and Spombing, but casts like a dream. Great reel. If I have one knock on it, it would be it doesn't have the folding Diawa handle. If I can find one, I will definitely get one for it.
