About this item

  • Japan-market Daiwa spinning reel, 2026 generation of the Certate HD line — sold in Japan as 26セルテートHD.
  • 8 sizes from LT3000-CH to LT5000D-XH, 225–305 g (7.9–10.8 oz); gear ratios 5.2 to 6.2 (standard, H, XH).
  • Daiwa lists these technologies for this generation: AIRDRIVE rotor, bail, spool and shaft; MAGSEALED body and line roller; AIRDRIVE DESIGN; MONOCOQUE BODY; TOUGH DIGIGEAR; ATD TOUGH drag; LC-ABS spool.
  • In plain words: MAGSEALED — magnetic-oil seal that keeps water and dust out of the body. AIRDRIVE DESIGN — Daiwa's design concept for a lighter, more responsive spinning reel; made up of the AIRDRIVE rotor, bail, spool and shaft. MONOCOQUE BODY — one-piece body with a plate screwed directly into it instead of a screwed-on body cover, for stiffer gear support and better sealing.
  • Daiwa's size guide for LT reels suggests — 3000: deep eging, seabass, black sea bream, red sea bream (tenya), bass, trout; 4000: seabass, flatfish, large trout, salmon, light jigging, light shore jigging; 5000: light shore jigging, light jigging, seabass, flatfish, large trout.
  • Specs are Daiwa's published figures; conversions to imperial are ours.
