The Daiwa GekkaBijin BF TW PE Special is one of the most thoughtfully engineered light-game baitcasters to come out of Japan — built specifically for ajing and mebaru fishing with PE braid, and a compelling choice for UK anglers targeting wrasse, small bass, and perch around structure on ultra-light setups. At £363, the 2026 model represents the cutting edge of Daiwa's T-Wing System (TWS) design at a compact casting reel size.
The "BF" designation stands for Braking Force — Daiwa's air-brake architecture that tames braid's reduced inertia, giving you clean, tangle-free casts even with jig heads as light as 0.5 g. The PE Special tuning refines this further: the spool, levelwind geometry, and braking curve are all calibrated for the low-diameter, low-stretch characteristics of PE line. In UK terms, that means confidence casting 1–3 g ajing rigs or small IMA/Tict lures into kelp-edge lies for wrasse, or working a micro-jig down onto a rocky reef from a kayak or small boat.
The 8.5:1 gear ratio makes this a high-speed retrieve model — a deliberate choice for light-game tactics where quick lure recovery between casts matters, and where you need to pick up slack line fast when a fish surges toward you. With 12 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing, retrieve smoothness is exceptional for the size class. Max drag sits at 3.5 kg — modest by saltwater standards, but entirely proportionate to the 0.6–1.0 PE line weights this reel is engineered around.
