The Free Swimmer EX 10000 is built around a lever-actuated Bite N' Run clutch mounted at the base of the body, letting you drop into free-spool instantly without opening the bail. Pull the lever down to release tension, flip it back to re-engage — no fumbling, no finger on the braid. A rear tension control knob fine-tunes how quickly line pays out, so you can slow a hyperactive live bait down and keep it planted in the strike zone. Whether you're live-lining hardtails along the Gulf Coast, feeding big baits to tarpon in the Florida Keys, targeting cobia in the mid-Atlantic, or swimming bunker for cow stripers in Northeast waters, the 10000 size delivers the line capacity and drag to handle the job.

Features:

• ATD Drag: Daiwa's Automatic Tournament Drag uses an advanced drag grease with low viscosity at rest that increases viscosity immediately upon drag engagement, reducing start-up inertia for consistently smooth hookset performance.
• Digigear: Digitally engineered drive and pinion gear profiles deliver an optimized mesh for increased speed, power, smoothness, and long-term durability.
• Machined Aluminum Handle: Ergonomically shaped and threads directly into the reel body for a solid, rattle-free connection.
• Metal Ball Knob: Designed for balanced rotation and maximum palm contact, reducing fatigue during extended live-bait sessions.
