About this item
What the maker's numbers say about this model:

- Max drag ranges from 5 kg to 12 kg (11.0 lb to 26.5 lb).
- Line capacity runs from 200 m of PE 0.8 on the LT2500 to 300 m of PE 2 on the LT5000-C.
- 5 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing in every size.
- Japan list price ¥24,400–¥27,400, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 93 spinning reel series we list.
- Daiwa lists these technologies for this generation: AIRDRIVE rotor, bail and spool; AIRDRIVE DESIGN; MAGSEALED; ATD TYPE-L drag; ATD TOUGH drag; TOUGH DIGIGEAR; LC-ABS spool; ZAION V.
- In plain words: AIRDRIVE DESIGN — Daiwa's design concept for a lighter, more responsive spinning reel; made up of the AIRDRIVE rotor, bail, spool and shaft. TOUGH DIGIGEAR — Daiwa's machine-cut drive gear built for strength and smooth rotation.
