DAIWA 23 LEGALIS LT REEL

Daiwa have added to their range of reels with a cracking new fixed spool – in five different sizes. Modestly priced with a stark, modern appearance, they have abundance of design and engineering features. The LT body is light and tough and constructed from a carbon-based composite that is much lighter than conventional materials yet very durable. With a much greater strength to weight ratio, the reels are lighter and can be handled without fatigue over the course of a long day’s fishing. The spool design features the Advanced Ballistic System or ABS. This technology utilises a reversed taper to pay out line in bigger loops reducing outgoing friction and improving casting distance. The oversize spool also holds more line and can exert more pressure on hooked gamefish. The Air Rotor and Air Bail are carbon composite designed lighter and stronger than conventional designs. Smoothness of operation is assured by six ball bearings and a roller bearing.

■ Carbon Light Material Housing - LT Concept. It has a smaller and more compact frame, the LT family of reels utilise a small, lightweight frame with a larger DigiGear for the perfect combination of Light and Tough. ■ ABS Spool (Advanced Ballistic System) ■ Machined Aluminium Handle ■ Air Rotor and Air Bail: The Air Rotor weighs up to 15 per cent less than ordinary rotor designs. Its unique shape reduces unnecessary weight while distributing stress more evenly throughout the rotor for maximum strength. ■ DigiGear: is precision machined cut and polished. This offers maximum efficiency with a better transfer of energy and unmatched smoothness.

■ 6 Bearing System ( 5BB+1RB)
