Daiwa Freams LT 2018

Lightness has been optimised to the maximum.

At the same time, the drive gear shows the toughness of the reel from the first couple of turns.

The build design has been completely overhauled in terms of volume, thickness and cut.

The Light and Tough Freams boasts an ATD drag for total fighting control.

Features :

• ATD drag technology Bearings: 5 + 1
• Carbon DS5 body and polycarbonate DS4 Air Rotor
• Aluminium spool
• CrossWrap line lay
• Ultralight one-piece unscrewable Air Handle in aluminium
• Hollow Touch Air Bail made from SUS303 steel is 20% tougher than a solid titanium bail of the same weight, and with a lifespan 13 x longer.

Technology :

• Light & Tough : LT 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.

• ATD Drag : The 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.

• Infinite Anti-Reverse : The new Infinite Anti Reverse system is activated with 4 times less force than a classic system. Less than 2g is needed to engage the Real Stopper system which eliminates any handle movement, bringing sensitivity to the next level.

• Air Rotor : The Air Rotor stands out for its balance, toughness and sensitivity. The arched profile and 15% weight reduction compared to standard rotors offers optimal winding smoothness and eliminates vibration thanks to the lowered centre of gravity.

• Cross Wrap : This technology cross wraps the line around the spool for optimised offloading on the cast. This is absolutely key to preventing tangles and linespin.

• Silent Oscillation : The 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.

• Twist Buster II : The 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%.

• ABS II : In 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. The new ABSII design has been optimised to let you reach record distances on the cast.
