Long-awaited by salt anglers! Highly rigid SW spinning “BLAST” overwhelms with its shockingly light weight

Highly rigid LT spinning rod for SW fishing, suitable for light jigging and casting games in near-shore waters, shore jigging games from the shore, super light jigging, etc. High-strength aluminum housing Powerful and comfortable! And comfortable. Equipped with “Aluminum machine-cut digi-gears Equipped with power light knob as standard. Handle setting for a comfortable feel in shore and offshore

Super Metal Body Super metal = a special aluminum material that provides extremely high rigidity compared to a plastic body. The solid outer body does not warp even under high loads, and the internal gear mesh does not become misaligned, resulting in solid winding power and durability.

DS4 (Rotor material) Fiber-reinforced special plastic specially developed for reels using Daiwa's proprietary technology.

Aluminum machine-cut handle Aluminum machine-cut handle that provides rigidity and a stable winding feel.

Aluminum spool Lightweight and rigid metal spool

Perfect Line Stopper New line stopper for fine lines such as PE and large diameter lines such as leader. Easy to hook, hard to dislodge, and easy to remove. It is also lightweight. Another significant evolution is that it is now repairable.

Rotor brake A mechanism that brakes the rotation of the rotor when the bail is open, preventing the bail from bending unexpectedly when the handle moves due to shock during casting.

Shower washable Can be rinsed under running water (after rinsing, maintenance is required in accordance with the instruction manual). (After washing, maintenance is required in accordance with the instruction manual.)

LT-Concept Daiwa's lightweight and tough concept. The “LT” is a new standard for Daiwa's small spinning reels, born from a total balance between the thoroughgoing commitment to weight reduction in every detail of the body, spool, and handle, and the evolution of the structure and materials of the gear, the heart of the reel, and the body that encloses it.

MAGSEALED DAIWA's original waterproof construction that shuts out seawater and dust by creating a wall of magnetic mag oil between the body and rotor.

ATD ATD operates smoothly in response to the pull of a fish and continues to work smoothly, allowing anglers to concentrate on the fight without worrying about drag settings.

AIRROTOR The unique arch shape that distributes the load applied to the rotor has achieved a significant weight reduction with the same strength. Rotor balance has also been improved, resulting in lighter, more responsive rotation.

LC-ABS（Long Cast ABS) While maintaining the ABSⅡ concept of reducing contact resistance, the contact point has been moved forward for smoother line release. This is the next generation ABS spool that realizes LC (=LONG CAST).

Cross Wrap The twill winding method with a large winding angle prevents the line from biting into the spool winding section and preventing the line from shifting. This method significantly reduces line trouble, especially when using thin or PE line, and also provides a comfortable flying action.

AIRBAIL The smooth bail shape without any unevenness allows the line to flow out to the line roller, which significantly reduces line lamination problems. In addition, the bail itself has a hollow structure, which has greatly increased strength without changing the weight.

TWIST BUSTER II The line roller is tapered to roll the line and offset the thread sag that occurs when the rotor rotates. This greatly eliminates the line sag that is said to be the fate of spinning reels.
