About this item

  • Japan-market Daiwa spinning reel, 2021 generation of the Presso line — sold in Japan as 21PRESSO.
  • 2 sizes from LT1000S-P to LT2000SS-P, 145–150 g (5.1–5.3 oz); gear ratio 4.9.
  • Daiwa lists these technologies for this generation: MONOCOQUE BODY; ZAION; ATD drag; TOUGH DIGIGEAR; LC-ABS spool.
  • In plain words: 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. ZAION — Daiwa's carbon-fibre-reinforced resin used for bodies and rotors. ATD drag — Automatic Tournament Drag — Daiwa's drag system designed to start smoothly and follow a running fish.
  • Daiwa's size guide for LT reels suggests — 1000: horse mackerel, rockfish, trout; 2000: trout, horse mackerel, rockfish.
  • Specs are Daiwa's published figures; conversions to imperial are ours.
