Daiwa Exist G LT Spinning Reel
The Daiwa Exist G LT Spinning Reels have been newly redesigned to for increased performance in both fresh and saltwater environments. The Exist G LT continues the use of single-piece magnesium Monocoque Body from the previous generation. Not only does the Monocoque Body provide exceptional strength and rigidity while remaining incredible light, but it also allows for larger gear sets to fit inside the compact sized reel for increased power and longevity. For increased durability, Daiwa added the EXIST Air Drive System, which is a system that consists of a ZAION Air Drive Rotor, Air Drive Bail, Air Drive Spool, and Air Drive Shaft. The EXIST Air Drive System is constructed from the proprietary Daiwa ZAION carbon material allowing for increased free-spinning as the rotor is 15% lighter from its predecessor, as well as allowing the creation of a screwless design and a flush surface. Working in conjunction with the new rotor is the Air Drive Shaft, which offers better stability and power transfer to enhance smoothness. The newly designed Air Drive Bail is lighter than ever and precisely angled to allow seamless transition of line to the line roller. Finally the Air Drive Spool features a redesigned drag clicker that reduces resistance to create a smoother and more efficient drag. Daiwa's legendary Advanced Tournament Drag offers smooth drag payouts across the reels impressive drag range. For 2022 a new 5000 size has been added for increased versatility in inshore fishing.
