Daiwa 22 EXIST LT2500S-H

The 22 EXIST is Daiwa's flagship spinning reel, representing the pinnacle of their Japanese engineering. It prioritizes a featherlight 160g construction and an incredibly refined gear system, designed specifically for anglers who need maximum sensitivity and effortless retrieves during long days on the water.

Yes, the 'S' in the model name denotes a shallow spool, which is optimized for thinner line diameters often used in finesse applications. Combined with its lightweight frame and high gear ratio, it is an excellent choice for techniques that require precise control and sensitivity.

With a 5.8 gear ratio and an 82 cm retrieve rate per turn, this reel is designed for speed and efficiency. It allows you to pick up slack line quickly and maintain consistent contact with your lure, which is particularly helpful when working baits that require a faster presentation.

While it is built for precision, the reel features an advanced drag system with a 5 kg maximum drag capacity. This provides reliable, smooth stopping power that is more than capable of handling challenging catches within the appropriate line class.

Because this is a high-precision instrument with 13 ball bearings, it requires standard care to maintain its performance. Always rinse it with fresh water after use in saltwater environments and ensure it is stored in a dry place to protect the internal gear system.
