Daiwa's first spinning reel rolled
off the assembly line in 1955. Since then, the company has grown into one of
the largest and most influential tackle companies in the world today.
To handle sales and distribution in the United States, Daiwa Corporation first
opened its doors on September 26, 1966, operating from a small facility in
Culver City, California. Today, based in Cerritos, California, Daiwa
Corporation sells tackle throughout the United States, Canada, Central and
South America.
From the very beginning, Daiwa's emphasis has been upon innovation and quality.
The result is a long list of product features, design and materials that have
become standards for the fishing tackle industry. It is a long-standing record
of innovation, the type of innovation that has left a visible mark on the
majority of tackle manufactured today, innovation that continues to advance the
sport of fishing.
