Daiwa Crystia Wakasagi CRS II: Release Date & Model Guide

Daiwa Korea lists the Crystia Wakasagi CRS II for November 2026. This is the manufacturer’s regional release month; a US launch date and Kodiak arrival have not been confirmed.

What changes from the Crystia CRS?

Daiwa’s comparison table separates CRS II from the earlier CRS. CRS II adds selectable jigging patterns, gradual depth stopping and slow follow-up winding. Both have a depth counter, ten speed settings and a V spool. Listed body weight is approximately 90 g for CRS II versus 88 g for CRS.

Programmable smelt-fishing presentation

Five jigging patterns allow timing and movement adjustments. A dedicated jigging switch enables one-touch on/off control. The depth counter can be corrected, and the gradual-stop function can slow the final part of the drop to the chosen depth. Three boat-side stop modes offer slow, normal and power deceleration.

Colors and setup

The reel accepts a 5 mm rod tip and lists line capacity of No. 0.3/60 m or No. 0.4/30 m. Capacity varies with line and winding tension. Rod tips and batteries are not included. An optional Crystia Wakasagi external power unit AIR is sold separately. Check exact accessory compatibility before choosing a setup.

Which model should I look for?

The exact name is CRYSTIA WAKASAGI CRS II, also written CRS2 in Daiwa’s model table. CRS, CRS-C+, CRS-Cα and CR-PT II are different versions. Their prices, specifications and availability should not be substituted for CRS II.
