DAIWA 18Exist G LT

The 18' Exist LT is featuring Japanese technology at its best - made by DAIWA.

DAIWA's new milestone in reel construction is produced with the new LT (Light & Tough) concept and provides all technical features and benefits that distinguish DAIWA quality.

The cold-forged Tough Digigear drive gear has been completly re-designed to cope also with the hardest strains during heavy and frequent fishing. The smooth rotation will remain smooth for the lifetime under normal fishing conditions. The gearing noise during retreive is virtually eliminated to the lowest level and will support you in concentrating on your fishing.

The Air Metal Monocoque Body is extremly rigid and tough and provides perfect housing for the gearing. This  - in conjunction with the oversized, large drive gear - (up to 85% of the bodie´s surface) significantly contributes to keep the smooth and soft retrieval and gear feeling. Thanks to the oversized drive gear, the power tarsnmission is considerably improved  - perfect for lure fishing with soft lures and braided lines on long and short distances. Even heavy loads can easily be reeled in.

The combination of the LT Concept with the Air Metal Magnesium Body and the Zaion Air Rotor allows DAIWA to create extremely light-weight reels (Exist LT 3000-CXH: only 185g), that are extremely rigid and powerfull at the same moment. This new 18' Exist LT series will cope with the highest demands and expectations of fisherman. The MagSealed construction blocks water and debris  entering the reel body and prolongues the life span of the reel. The anti-reverse lever has been re-designed to provide faster access and better protection to the reel´s internal mechanism. The new line-clip allows both, thin braids and thick mono leaders to be easily clipped inside without any damage.  The extremely sensible ATD drag system enables fast and easy adjustment of any fishing condition and keeps the applied drag power always on constant level - perfect to use with thin braided and monofilament lines.
