The all new EXCELER LT -Daiwauses a carbon fiber body called ZAION V. The new version is 3%-5% lighter than our current EXCELER for comparable sizes. It also comes with anAIRDRIVE ROTOR & AIRDRIVE BAIL like our version on the EXISTare tubular but theyre not on the EXCELER. We went to a solid bail wire for its rigidity and resistance to bending during normal use, the thinner, smaller wire is also lighter, which reduces the weight of the rotation, thus reducing the weight of the reel.

It’s machined aluminum handle is a comfortable, strong connection to the main gear of the spinning reel. And the retooled EXCELER is extremely smooth utilizing 5 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing to maximize performance.

Features:

• Air Bail – Daiwas innovative bail design features a hollow tubular stainless steel bail that delivers maximum rigidity and strength with minimum weight. Featuring a smooth protrusion-free design and construction line easily slides unencumbered along the Air Bail towards the line roller for trouble free line control.
• Air Rotor – Lighter, stronger and more balanced than any rotor system thats come before, Air Rotor delivers a great leap forward in rotor design and function and delivers the ultimate reel sensitivity and rotational balance.
• ATD Automatic Tournament Drag – Daiwas 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.
• Machined Aluminum Handle – Ergonomically correct and screws easily into the body
• Tough Digigear – A further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our brand new digitally designed, machine cut gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
• Zaion V – A new generation of lightweight Daiwas resin and carbon material. The Zaion V material is both strong and incredibly lightweight.

A smartly priced reel that can match the performance of many more expensive models. The Carbon Light Material Housing was designed with the LT concept of light but tough, in mind. The carbon-based material is light yet very strong making the reel easy to manage over the long haul. A machined aluminum handle is a comfortable, strong connection to the main gear of the spinning reel. The Air Rotor and Air Bail designs reduce the weight, yet efficiently disperse the pressure of the line over the bail to the whole part. The reel is extremely smooth utilizing 5 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing to maximize performance. In a world of you get what you pay for, the Daiwa Exceler LT series of reels gives you more design technology and concept then reels twice the price.
