Daiwa FREAMS LT

With its high gear ratio and 12kg of max drag, this reel is built for anglers targeting larger, more aggressive species that require quick lure retrieval and substantial stopping power. It performs exceptionally well in both freshwater and light saltwater environments where you need to manage long runs and heavy pulls.

The 'LT' stands for Light and Tough. By using a compact body design while maintaining a large spool size, Daiwa reduces the overall weight of the reel to 255g, which significantly minimizes fatigue during long days on the water without sacrificing the structural integrity needed for bigger fish.

Yes, it is quite fast. This high gear ratio, combined with the large spool diameter, allows you to retrieve 105cm of line per handle turn. This speed is ideal for techniques that require rapid lure movement or for quickly picking up slack line when a fish turns and runs toward you.

Absolutely. The spool is designed to handle PE (braided) line effectively, with a capacity of 200 meters of 1.5 PE line. The reel's smooth operation and consistent drag system are well-suited for the sensitivity and strength benefits that braided line provides.

The drag system is engineered for consistency, meaning it provides smooth, steady pressure rather than jerky resistance. This is critical for preventing line breakage when a fish makes a sudden, powerful run, allowing you to maintain control throughout the fight.
