About this item
- Japan-market Daiwa spinning reel, 2023 generation of the Lexa line — sold in Japan as 23LEXA.
- 12 sizes from LT2500 to LT6000D-H, 215–365 g (7.6–12.9 oz); gear ratios 5.2 to 6.2 (standard, H, XH).
- Daiwa lists these technologies for this generation: AIRDRIVE rotor, bail and spool; AIRDRIVE DESIGN; MAGSEALED; ATD TYPE-L drag; ATD TOUGH drag; TOUGH DIGIGEAR; LC-ABS spool; ZAION V.
- 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. MAGSEALED — magnetic-oil seal that keeps water and dust out of the body. ATD TYPE-L drag — ATD drag tuned with a lighter start-up.
- Daiwa's size guide for LT reels suggests — 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; 6000: jigging, shore jigging.
