Daiwa Spinning Reels

The 2025 Daiwa Ballistic MQ LT spinning reel merges cutting-edge technology with superior functionality, tailored for diverse fishing scenarios. Central to its design is Daiwa's AIRDRIVE system, which elevates strength, balance, and weight distribution. The AIRDRIVE Rotor boosts durability and stability, while the AIRDRIVE ABS long-cast spool minimizes weight and maximizes casting range.

The AIRDRIVE Bail enhances smooth line control, enabling precise, confident casts. Constructed with Daiwa’s exclusive MQ body, the reel offers increased rigidity and corrosion resistance. Its MQ Tough Digigear features gears 40% thicker for improved strength and power transfer. Additionally, MAGSEAL technology seals the main-shaft to protect against water and debris, extending reel longevity in harsh conditions. This reel sets a new standard for high-performance spinning reels.

The Daiwa Luvias ST Spinning Reel is a specialized, lightweight reel engineered for super-finesse fishing, targeting species like trout, panfish, crappie, and bass that demand precision and delicacy. Featuring Daiwa’s revolutionary AIRDRIVE design, the Luvias ST boasts an AIRDRIVE Rotor, Spool, Bail, and Shaft, delivering flawless, effortless rotation with enhanced balance and reduced weight.

The reel’s ZAION Monocoque (MQ) body, constructed from lightweight, corrosion-resistant carbon material, amplifies rigidity and smoothness while maintaining a compact, durable frame. The A7075 Tough DigiGear, crafted from high-strength aluminum alloy, offers superior durability and lighter weight compared to traditional gears, ensuring smooth power transfer.

The 24 Luvias ST (Sensitive Tune) models, including ST LT and ST SF, prioritize ultra-light rotation by using oil-type ball bearings (BB) instead of grease-type BB for the main rotating parts and omitting the Magsealed pinion for minimal weight. With a sleek matte black spool and gunmetal handle and engine plate, the Luvias ST combines stoic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology, making it the ultimate tool for finesse anglers seeking unmatched sensitivity and performance.

The Daiwa Exceler LT - Daiwa uses a carbon fiber body called Zaion V. The new version is 3%-5% lighter than our current model for comparable sizes. It also comes with an Airdrive Rotor & Airdrive Bail like our version on the exist—are tubular but they’re not on the Exceler. 

We went to a solid bail wire for its rigidity and resistance to bending during normal use, the thinner, smaller wire is also lighter, which reduces the weight of the rotation, thus reducing the weight of the reel.

The Daiwa Fuego LT Spinning Reels impress with a lightweight and strong Zaion V carbon-fiber body, a step up from the nylon-based plastics typically seen in reels at this price. This exclusive 2023 design makes the Fuego stand out against the competition. Additionally, this innovative material choice results in a 3%-5% weight reduction.

Fuego also uses an airdrive Rotor that reduces quite a bit of weight. Daiwa also incorporated a solid Airdrive Bail versus a tubular design. The reason for that is the metal we’re using is very strong, rigid, and doesn’t bend—yet, it’s thinner and lighter. Our goal was to reduce the weight of the rotation, which reduces the weight of the reel as well. It also makes it easier to turn the handle.

The Daiwa Ballistic you have come to know and love has been redesigned and upgraded. Still featuring the LT Concept for the ultimate in Light and Tough performance- now complete with our Monocoque Body (MQ) for even more power and a more compact frame. An MQ frame design allows us to fit a larger gear inside of the reel, adding power and longevity to your gear set. A 360 degree screw-in sideplate removes to need for traditional sideplate screws, allowing for a more compact and more weather resistant housing. 

Utilizing our all new ZAION-V frame material, which is a more machinable compound than our standard Zaion, allows us to feature Zaion-V in a wider range of reels. Very similar in function to Zaion, Zaion-V is extremely durable, corrosion resistant and rigid. 

System and with models ranging from 1000 to 4000, the Ballistic LT line of spinning reels are designed for a wide range of gamefish incorporating many different techniques. 

The Ballistic MQ LT series of reels is a prime example of our commitment to design, function and innovation.  

The Daiwa Procyon LT is lighter by weight yet strong and rigid in the LT Concept. The body is constructed from Zaion, a “high density” carbon strain material that is 20 percent stronger and 50 percent lighter than traditional nylon and aluminum.

The True Carbon Body is reduced in size and weight, yet provides a rigid framework for the powerful gearing. The well-balanced Air Rotor is 15 percent lighter than conventional rotors yet just as strong.

ATD Drag System uses a new proprietary grease that enables the reel to apply smooth and consistent start up drag pressure from the first pull. The rigid machined aluminum handle smoothly transfers power to the stout Digigears. The Digigears are accurately cut from a strong light-weight cold-forged aluminum making for a silky smooth operation.

With 6 Ball Bearings and a roller bearing the reel is as smooth as silk. Sizes from 1000 to 4000. If you are in the market for a light, powerful spinning reel with smooth precise operation and lots of features look to Daiwa’s PROCYON LT. It’s state of the art reel design.

Daiwa BG MQ Spinning Reels are constructed with a one piece monocoque aluminum frame with rubber seals in key intrusion points to help keep it dry and protected from the elements. The waterproof Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) system is engineered to give you a smooth wind, giving you the advantage in the fight against your fish.

For a higher level of performance, the Daiwa Procyon AL Spinning Reel family is back for the attack whether that means freshwater or inshore applications. From speckled trout, redfish, and snook to bass, walleye, and trout, the Procyon AL offers anglers the perfect reel for the pursuit.

The Procyon AL is rich in its feature set. First, the reel series features an aluminum body that allows more less body and frame flex providing better support on the gears and bearings allowing increased torque and power while also allowing longevity to the gears. 

Another element of the series is DIGIGEAR technology, digitally cut to reduce weight, and considerably better gear meshing increase smoothness and gear wear.
Anglers will also find Daiwa's distinctive Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) a benefit for setting the hook and fighting fish. 

The Daiwa Legalis LT body (light yet tough) is constructed from a carbon-based composite that is much lighter than conventional materials yet very durable. With a much greater strength to weight ratio, the reels are lighter and can be handled without fatigue over the long course of a full day’s fishing. The spool design features the Advanced Ballistic System or ABS. 

The oversize spool also holds more line and can exert more pressure on hooked gamefish. The Air Rotor and Air Bail are carbon composite designed lighter and stronger than conventional designs. Smoothness of operation is assured by 6 ball bearings and a roller bearing.
