Daiwa Propex V LT 2018 \n\nThe Prorex range now has an even more accessible LT reel to its name. This model comes with all the advantages of the LT concept: light yet tough. The handle screws directly into the body to turn a Tough Digigear drive gear, giving this reel - a mere 210g at 2500 - incredible cranking power. The range is perfect for hunting medium-sized predators but remains capable of handling a monster, in line with the Prorex slogan "Seek Your Monster". The 10 to 12kg ATD drag is a testament to the power of this series. The Prorex V LT is ideal for breaking into the predator fishing world with a piece of high quality gear.\n\n\nATD drag technology, full size drag button\nBearings: 6 + 1\nDS5 carbon body and polycarbonate rotor\nAluminium Air Spool\nCrossWrap line lay\nUltralight one-piece unscrewable Air Handle in aluminium\nSoft Coat "I" Handle (2500) or "T" (3000 and round EVA on the 4000)\n\n \nLIGHT AND TOUGH\nLT is a new concept in Daiwa engineering which has produced new sizes of reels that are smaller and tougher than ever. The entirely redesigned Digigear drive is reinforced. \nIt’s impossible to part with an LT reel once you’ve held it in your hands!\n \n\n \nNEW COMPACT DESIGN\n \nDaiwa engineers have sought to eliminate unnecessarily heavy components and shapes without compromising on the toughness or the capacity of the spool. This totally new compact design with a more powerful Digigear gives our LT reels an unrivalled weight to power ratio.\n \n\nZAION and DS5\nZAION and DS5 are extremely tough materials which benefit from Daiwa’s own carbon technology. These carbon components make the reel lighter yet tougher than standard graphite. 100% resistant to corrosion even in saltwater environments. Light, tough and durable: these are the best build materials for our reels.\nLighter: Materials have been comapred at a given density\n \n\n\nTOUGH DIGIGEAR\nInspired by the Digigear, this tougher brother has been optimised in all respects: diameter, thickness, shape and size of the teeth. We have trialled and tested each detail in turn and refined the elements with surgical precision. \nThe result is pure technical prowess in terms of toughness.\n \nALUMINIUM AIR SPOOL\nWe have re-designed the shape, size and thickness of this spool to produce an ultra-light version way ahead of its predecessors. Even lighter than our current ABS Air Spool, which fine-tunes the balance of the reel.\n \nULTRA POWERFUL DRAG\nWe’ve brought together multiple improvements down to the very finest detail of the spool build, the shaft, the discs, and the braking surface to maximise the benefits of ATD.\nLT reels have redefined the boundaries of maximum drag ratings, despite their reduced size and weight.\n \n\nCross Wrap\nThis technology cross wraps the line around the spool for optimised offloading on the cast. This is absolutely key to preventing tangles and linespin.\n \nHANDLE\nWe have retooled the handle to bring it into line with the main objective of strength and fishing durability. The new design contributes to the lightness of the reel.\n \n\n \nMAGNETIC OIL\nMagnetic Oil is one of a new generation of Nano Fluids that can change density and shape when a magnetic field is applied.\n \n\nATD Drag\nThe ATD boasts discs which have been impregnated with a specialist grease to optimise energy yield. This exceptionally high-quality product gives more grinding power at the start and offers a more stable and progressive drag. The risk of breaking off on the fight is kept to a minimum as the ATD adjusts to every phase of the fight: working faster and more progressively on the first run but offering a firmer hold for cranking power in the middle phase. It’s this adaptive feature that gives it its Automatic name.\nSmoother, more controlled fights are guaranteed with the Daiwa ATD. Locking the knob is more accurate and the inner base of the spool fits better onto the shaft to reduce drag pulsing.\n \n\n \nAIR ROTOR DESIGN\n \nThe Air Rotor weighs up to 15% less than ordinary rotor designs. Its unique shape reduces unnecessary weight while distributing stress more evenly throughout the rotor for maximum strength.\n \n \n\n\nInfinite Anti Reverse\nThe new Infinite Anti Reverse system is activated with 4 times less force than a classic system.\nLess than 2g is needed to engage the Real Stopper system which eliminates any handle movement, bringing sensitivity to the next level.\n \n \n\n\n\nSilent Oscillation\nThe perfect tuning of the contact points between helicoid and straight teeth create an energy yield close to 99% and silent rotation. Daiwa gear trains offer superior winding smoothness.\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAir Bail\n\n\n\n\n\n The hollow Touch Air Bail is made from SUS303 steel and is 20% tougher than a solid titanium bail of the same weight, and with a lifespan 13 x longer.\n \n \n \n\nTwist Buster II\nThe TB2 pickup roller has been developed by Daiwa and precision tooled to guarantee optimal line lay. The system reduces the risks of linespin on the retrieve by 90%.\n \n\nABS II\nIn contrast to classic cylindrical spool designs, ABS spools are tapered to limit the risks of tangling on the cast. What’s more, the lip reduces friction to boost casting distance.\nThe new ABSII design has been optimised to let you reach record distances on the cast.\n \n \n\n \n \n\nCORROSION RESISTANT BALL BEARINGS\n \nLast up to 12 times longer than standard stainless steel ball bearings.\n
