THE REEL

The Daiwa Freams LT 3000 is redesigned to a whole new level of strength and performance. Air Bail, Twistbuster II, Magseal, Air Rotor, an ultra-light aluminium spool featuring Long Cast ABS, a redesigned line keeper, High Grip I-Shape knobs, and a super sized ATD drag provides unmatched design and performance enhancements, while the heart of the reel, LT's new Tough Digigear delivers unmatched refinement, strength and power.

LT Concept
An evolution in design to suit the new generation of PE/braid lines for heavier line and drag capacity, stronger gearing, improved handling and increased performance.

Magsealed Body
Magseal involves scientifically designed magnetised oil that forms a seal that reduces dust, water and salt intrusion into the body of the reel to increase its longevity.

Tough Digigear
New generation Tough Digigear is 50% stronger than previous Digigear II thanks to increased diameter main gears combined with an increase in individual gear teeth size.

Airspool ABS
Daiwa's newly designed AL Airspool is up to 30% lighter than previous generations. The newly redesigned spool lip has improved overall castability.

ATD
Daiwa's ATD drag system is the best in the business. Reduced start-up inertia protects delicate and thin lines from the aggressive strikes of fish.

Air Rotor
The innovative design and construction works to reduce weight, stress and flexing, whilst enhancing transmission of vibration and allowing the rotor to spin with perfect balance.

Perfect Line Stopper
A larger rectangular flexible clip that can be used from all line angles and from light to heavy lines.

Aluminium Air Handle
The new handle design is slimmer, more compact, and now up to 50% lighter!

The Reel
The Carbon Light Material Housing of the new Daiwa Legalis LT 4000 Spinning Reel is designed with the LT concept of "light but tough," in mind. The LT body is made from a carbon-based composite that is much lighter than conventional materials yet very durable. With a much greater strength to weight ratio, this reel is lighter and can be handled without fatigue over the long course of a full 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 oversized 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 6 ball bearings and a roller bearing. Rarely in the spinning reel market can you find a reel modest in price yet loaded with state of the art technical and design features. The Daiwa Legalis LT is that reel.

Combining Daiwa cutting edge blank design with unmatched value the TD Hyper series is undeniably impressive, built to perform. Light, powerful and designed for ultimate strength and performance this is the spinning and baitcaster series that delivers unrivalled value.

HVF Nanoplus Graphite
At the very core of the TD Hyper is Daiwa's HVF Nanoplus graphite, the foundation for this impressive rod range. HVF combines precise resin control with unidirectional graphite fibre to produce a blank with maximum graphite density. By adding Nano resin with unidirectional HVF graphite fiber we have produced a blank with maximum graphite density. Light, responsive and crisp in action. "HVF Nanoplus" is unrivaled. More muscle and less fat is the name of the game with HVF Nanoplus.

X45 Blank Technology
TD Hyper blank performance is further enhanced courtesy of X45 blank technologies Daiwa’s premier blank technology, X45, work seamlessly to improve rod performance, and eliminate blank twist and distortion to increase rod strength, function, and sensitivity. By eliminating twist and preventing the blank from losing its round form. X45 allows a lighter a small diameter blank to be made, and lighter more dynamic rod to be created

Fuji Lightweight O-Ring Guides
Using Fuji’s lightweight O-Ring guides to keep the blanks action, these guides provide superior casting, unlimited line flow and line protection. By combining Fuji’s guide technology with Daiwa's RR (reduced resistance) guide design system, the guide placement and sizing allows for the superior casting qualities available from these blanks.

The Braid
Perfectly suited for spin and baitcaster reels, the new, super high visibility Daiwa X4 J-Braid is ideal for the full spectrum of lure casting applications - from light tackle soft plastics through to shore game rock and beach fishing.

J-Braid PE boasts all of that, with a smooth, round profile design, that wraps neatly and evenly onto the reel spool.

The casting distance of the Daiwa X4 J-Braid is complemented by its thin diameter - but don't be fooled! Despite being thin, J-Braid is strong! Available in 8-20lb breaking strains, strength isn't compromised and it displays ultimate abrasion resistance for your added confidence to fish it in even the heaviest structure. Delivering strength and quality in perfect harmony, Daiwa J-Braid is designed to let you be a strong fighter.
