About this item
- Japan-market Daiwa spinning reel, 2022 generation of the EXIST line — sold in Japan as 22EXIST.
- 21 sizes from LT2000S-P to SF2500SS-H, 135–220 g (4.8–7.8 oz); gear ratios 4.6 to 6.2 (P, standard, H, XH).
- Daiwa lists these technologies for this generation: AIRDRIVE rotor, bail, spool and shaft; AIRDRIVE DESIGN; MONOCOQUE BODY; 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. 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. MAGSEALED — magnetic-oil seal that keeps water and dust out of the body.
- Daiwa's size guide for LT reels suggests — 2000: trout, horse mackerel, rockfish; 2500: bass, squid (eging), trout; 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.
