LT CONCEPT

LT (Light Tough) technology is based four key elements, Lighter, Tougher, more drag, and more bearings. Featuring a new compact body design and Tough Digigear LT reels introduce a new level of lightness and toughness to spin reel design.

CARBON LIGHT BODY

An incredibly strong carbon-based composite material, lighter and tougher than ordinary graphite, and unlike metal doesn’t corrode.

DIGIGEAR

Daiwa’s first generation of digitally engineered gear design ensures a perfect mesh between ultra-tough drive gear and pinion gears for optimized speed, power, durability and smoothness.

ATD DRAG

Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.

Daiwa Laguna LT

The Laguna LT is the latest manifestation in Daiwa's LT storyline. The redesigned reel embraces the LT Concept of light and tough. The True Carbon Frame reduces weight and size, yet is as rigid as conventional materials. The Air Rotor System improves balance and rotation and reduces rotor weight by 15%. Reel performance is silky smooth with 3 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing. Few reels in this price range have 3 ball bearings. The Machined Aluminum handle is swept back, and the knob is oversized and ergonomically designed. Available in 1000 to 3000 series sizes the Daiwa Laguna LT is a versatile line of workhorse reels, designed to put anglers of all skill levels in the high-tech world of spinning reels. If you want to experience the best of Daiwa engineering at a smart price, look for the new, reengineered Laguna LT spinning reel.
