About this item
- Japan-market Daiwa spinning reel, 2023 generation of the Emeraldas RX line — sold in Japan as 23EMERALDAS RX.
- 4 sizes from FC LT2500S to LT2500-XH-DH, 175–205 g (6.2–7.2 oz); gear ratios 5.1 to 6.2 (standard, H, XH).
- Daiwa lists these technologies for this generation: AIRDRIVE rotor, bail and spool; AIRDRIVE DESIGN; ZAION V; MAGSEALED; TOUGH DIGIGEAR; ATD TYPE-L drag; LC-ABS spool.
- In plain words: AIRDRIVE DESIGN — Daiwa's design concept for a lighter, more responsive spinning reel; made up of the AIRDRIVE rotor, bail, spool and shaft. ZAION V — a newer grade of Daiwa's carbon-fibre-reinforced resin. MAGSEALED — magnetic-oil seal that keeps water and dust out of the body.
- Daiwa's size guide for LT reels suggests — 2500: bass, squid (eging), trout.
- Specs are Daiwa's published figures; conversions to imperial are ours.
