About this item

  • Japan-market Daiwa spinning reel, 2023 generation of the Tatula line — sold in Japan as 23TATULA.
  • 3 sizes from FC LT2500SS-QD to LT2500S-XH-QD, 170–180 g (6.0–6.3 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; MONOCOQUE BODY; QUICK DRAG; 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. 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 — 2500: bass, squid (eging), trout.
  • Specs are Daiwa's published figures; conversions to imperial are ours.
