Daiwa 21 Freams LT Reel

Here’s a brand new affordable all-rounder reel range from Daiwa, suitable for trout and bass fishing through to dollies and big grouper, the Daiwa 21 Freams LT Reel.

The brand new Daiwa Freams LT is the first reel to feature brand new Zaion V construction. Zaion V is an evolution of Daiwa’s famous Zaion technology and enables the use of this material in reels much lower in price than ever before. Zaion V is significantly stronger than the previous Carbon Light material from the 18 FREAMS LT and will deliver a much more rigid body. Zaion V is also much lighter than traditional composite materials which also means the new Freams LT is not only stronger, but also much lighter.

21 Freams LT continues the global success of the previous model with Tough Digigear design and LT concept combining to produce a lightweight but powerful reel. Daiwa’s ATD Drag produces smooth & consistent drag performance and the LC ABS spool & Airbail architecture means longer casts and less line trouble.

Features:

• Tough Digigear – A further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our digitally designed gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
• Zaion V Body – A new generation of lightweight Daiwa’s resin and carbon material. The Zaion V material is both incredibly strong and lightweight.
• LC-ABS (Long-Cast ABS) – Compared to conventional spools, the LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance by approx. 5% due to its reduced weight and modified shape.
• Air Rotor – Lighter, stronger and more balanced than any rotor system that’s come before, ‘Air Rotor’ delivers a great leap forward in rotor design and function and delivers the ultimate line roller support. Made from Zaion and featuring a redesigned arch that disperses pressure to the lower section of the rotor to reduce stressing and flexing, the design is further enhanced with a hollowed out construction reducing weight, while increasing reel sensitivity and rotational balance.
• ATD Drag – Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag uses an improved drag grease that exhibits a low viscosity at rest, yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start up. This reduces initial drag start-up inertia and combined with the structural changes of the ATD Drag System results in a smoother drag from the initial hook up.
• CRBB – Lasting 12 times longer than standard stainless steel bearings Daiwa’s CRBBs feature specially treated stainless steel, and a protective shield on the bearing race that seals out sand, fine grit, salt crystals and other abrasives. The result is a longer lasting bearing that’s protected from the corrosive elements that destroy traditional bearings.
• Magsealed Body – Ultimate protection is delivered to the engine room of the reel with a magnetised oil seal located on the main shaft of the reel’s rotor shutting the door to the elements and unwanted intruders. Dust, water, and salt intrusion into the inner workings of a reel are a thing of the past with MagSeal.
• Finesse Drag – Designed for low start-up inertia finesse applications, and where minute incremental adjustment, and silky smooth consistent drag pressure is required.
• Air Bail – Daiwa’s innovative bail design features a hollow tubular stainless steel bail that delivers maximum rigidity and strength with minimum weight. Featuring a smooth protrusion-free design and construction line easily slides unencumbered along the Air Bail towards the line roller for trouble free line control.
