Crucis Egi and Daiwa BG MQ Squidding Combo

Crucis Egi and Daiwa BG MQ Squidding Combo 

This combo is ideal for chasing large Squid off of Sydney's ocean rocks this winter. The Daiwa BG MQ 2500 DH is a smooth, durable reel suited to EGI style of fishing, importantly its drag is very smooth under low pressue which is essential when chasing squid. The BG's MQ body and the screw in handle help keep salt water out of the reel, preventing corrosion. This is important whilst squidding off of ocean rocks as reels tend to get splashed with saltwater fairly often. The Crucis Elite EGI 7'6 1.5-3.5 rod comes in at 7ft6, meaning the angler can cast squid jigs long distances therefore covering more ground. Although 7'6 may seem like a long length for a light rod it is actually shorter than most EGI rods, giving the angler a unique advantage as you are not limited solely to squidding off ocean rocks. Infact the Crucis Elite EGI makes a good inshore landbased and boat squidding rod. The Crucis has a slow taper, therefore the long slow lunges of Cephalopod's such as Calamari, Arrow Squid and Cuttlefish are soaked up by the blank, reducing the likelyhood that the hooks will pull. Despite the slow taper the rod still has a very strong backbone, this is helpful when landing larger Calamari and Cuttlefish off higher ledges as it gives you the ability to lift heavier weights with ease. 

 

This Combo Includes:

- Daiwa BG MQ 2500 DH

- Crucis Elite EGI 7'6 1.5-3.5

- Daiwa J-Braid x8 150m 10lbs 

 

DAIWA BG MQ 2500 DH SPINNING FISHING REEL

Daiwa’s BG series has changed the game of what affordable quality looks like in heavy-duty spinning reels. Now, by combining Monocoque Body (MQ) technology with the mass market appeal of BG, 20 BG MQ is born.

Monocoque Body (MQ) is the single biggest revolution in spinning reel design from Daiwa by totally eliminating the traditional two-piece body construction. MQ reels don’t use any side plates and feature a completely screwless body design which eliminates potential entry points for water & grime, and significantly enhances overall body strength and rigidity. 

The screwless design principle of MQ bodies are also significantly more compact than a standard body design. Screws need material to grip to, and that means more overall size and more mass in traditional body designs. By replacing the side plate with a machined aluminium engine plate which screws directly into the reel body, MQ reels can maximise the internal space made available by using larger size drive gears than before.

Throughout the entire line-up of BG MQ, vast improvements have been made to almost all areas of the reel design. The drag has been improved both in maximum capacity but also in smooth overall performance, drastically reducing the friction of the Carbon ATD drag - BG MQ’s drag performance is unmatched by the competition.

The MQ body construction not only has the obvious benefits of a stronger & more compact body design, it also delivers an increase in gear durability thanks to absolute zero movement of drivetrain components once installed inside an MQ body. Weather-sealing is also significantly improved, with seals visible in multiple locations throughout the reel, BG MQ is built for the harshest of environments.
Casting performance has also been improved with the implementation of Long Cast ABS (LC-ABS) spool design. LC-ABS spool design improves line flow from the spool, resulting in increased casting distances across the board with both heavy & light lines.

Throughout the BG MQ range, improvements have been made specific to the size of each reel to maximise their performance and overall appeal to each target market.

Small size BG MQ (2500-4000) feature dramatically larger sized drive gears. Middle sized models 5000 & 6000 now feature the Rigid Air Rotor design, maximising strength and appeal for mid-weight sportfishing applications.

BG MQ marks a new era in affordable saltwater spinning reels from Daiwa, with MQ technology now available to the masses. BG MQ is built for the harshest conditions and is set to once again revolutionise the industry. Available from 2500-20000 size, BG MQ is now aligned with 20 SALTIGA sizing.

ABS LONGCAST

Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape.

ATD DRAG

Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

METAL ALLOY BODY

Rock solid in strength and performance, alloy is tailor made for Australian conditions and allows a reel to be created that is light, yet strong, and supremely rigid and highly corrosion resistant.

MONOCOQUE (MQ)

A one-piece frame eliminates the use of traditional two-piece body & sideplate construction. A single piece body utilises a screw-in engine plate to house the main gear, reducing flex and twist under load creating a sealed mechanism. The elimination of the side plate also has also allowed for a more compact body design. MQ technology not only makes reels stronger & better sealed, but also more compact.

 

CRUCIS ELITE RODS

With increased demand for Crucis rods, more models will come into the market, including travel rods, casting rods, jigging rods, popping rods, trolling rods, game rods etc. 

These rods will carry the same high-quality standard, even more, the newest technology will apply to these models, making Crucis a complete, high tech, and most contemporary range of rods in the Australian market.
