Daiwa Exceler LT reel range overview for 2023 and 2023

The reels of the Japanese company Daiwa enjoy a well-deserved reputation among anglers in many countries of the world. Daiwa is both a legend and a quality mark. The company produces not only reels, among which, by the way, there are many multiplier reels, but also fishing lines, braided cords, lures, clothes and much more. In 2017, the company launched the production of new LT series reels – light & tough, i.e. lightweight and durable, which is completely true.

In terms of its characteristics and prices, the Daiwa Exceler LT reel occupies an intermediate position between the Legalis and Fuego models.

It is currently not easy to tell the difference between these three models. Naturally, there are differences in the design of the coils. The insides are not so different. In Exceller, the handle is screwed into the main pair, and in Legalis it is attracted by a nut. A bearing (6 versus 5) has been added to the Fuego design. The new Daiwa Exceler LT is sleek and miniaturized in appearance. Due to new technologies and materials, Daiva tried to bring the dimensions of the new reels closer to those from the Shimano company. The case is made of DS5 material, which is a combination of carbon fiber and Zaion V top polymer. The Daiwa Exceler LT 20 reel is noticeably lighter than the previous series, but at the same time it is quite durable.

The technologies used in the Daiwa Exceler LT reel

According to the manufacturer’s information, the following technologies are used in the coil design:

• Air Rotor . The technology has its pros and cons. Due to the fact that the rotor and the spool have grooves, the mass of the reel is reduced. At the same time, these grooves facilitate the penetration of moisture and dirt into the mechanism;
• Tough digigear . Translated into Russian – a strong main pair;
• ATD is a braking system that allows you to bring the load on the clutch up to 10 kg. The clutch nut has a long stroke, the sound made by the clutch is pleasing to the ear, and it can be adjusted with pinpoint accuracy. The grip of the nut is large and easy to operate;
• Infinite Anti-Reverse . This means that the anti-reverse (instantaneous backstop) of the coil is triggered instantly. The lever that turns it on and off is located at the bottom near the rotor. Someone is more accustomed to this, but someone prefers a different option;
• Cross Wrap . Responsible for cross-winding the line;
• Twist Buster II . Perfectly working line guide roller;
• a chiseled handle made of aluminum and a spool made of it ;
• hollow bow .

Daiwa Exceler LT reels are manufactured in Vietnam. The package contains the numerical characteristics, it also contains an image of the coil design diagram, which helps to understand how everything works.  

Attention! Unfortunately, the spool does not come with a spare spool, and sometimes it is useful to have an extra spool with line or with a different line thickness. But the spool can be purchased separately.

Daiwa 20 Exceler LT 1000-CP

New for 2021. It has a shallow spool, therefore, the purpose of the reel is fishing of the “ultralight” class, i.e. with a thin cord or line. This device weighs 182 grams, the gear ratio is 5.2: 1. The approximate price is 7 thousand rubles. Interesting! Anglers using the Daiwa 20 Exceler LT 1000-CP reel note that thanks to the flawless clutch performance, they can successfully compete with a worthy opponent.

Daiwa 20 Exceler LT 2000-CP

2020 model. Slightly heavier and more powerful than the previous one. Weighs 185 grams. The gear ratio is also 5.2: 1. The cost of the coil is a little over 7 thousand rubles. It is believed to be a high speed reel. One of the anglers noted that 81 cm of braid is wound on the spool with the line he uses, while his previous Excel 2000 had 68 cm. The same user noted that despite the fact that high-speed reels are considered unsuitable for jig fishing, it was with this model that he was able to very successfully fish with
micro and
nanojig . Reels of this series should be used when fishing with ultra-light spinning and do not use too heavy bait.

Daiwa 20 Exceler LT 2500-CP

A more serious coil weighing 206 grams. Gear ratio 5.3: 1. The price varies from 7.5 to 9 thousand rubles. There are two modifications: 2500-СР and 2500-ХН. The second gear ratio is 6.2: 1. Users note the smooth running of the reel, which becomes even better after several fishing trips, as the mechanisms rub against each other. There are slight backlashes that do not increase over time. The kit contains additional washers that are placed under the spool to change the shape of the winding. The factory winding is a reverse cone. Not everyone likes it, so extra washers can come in handy.

Daiwa 20 Exceler LT 3000-CP

This reel is already for real men’s fishing. It weighs, however, only 213 grams, but, as anglers note, it can be put on spinning rods with top dough up to 40 grams. The minimum cost of the coil is 7.5 thousand rubles.

Interesting! You can easily notice that as the size of the coils increases, their weight only grows by a few grams.

Accordingly, it is ideal for medium-heavy jig and twitching of relatively large wobblers. By the way, previous models can also be successfully used in fishing involving jerky wiring of bulk lures. Gear ratio 5.3: 1.

Daiwa 20 Exceler LT 4000-CP

The coil weighs 235 grams and has a gear ratio of 4.7: 1. Its cost without discounts is approximately 7-9 thousand rubles.

Healthy! According to user reviews, this reel can be successfully used in feeder fishing.

Anglers note the smooth running of the reel and the high-quality winding of the cord.

Daiwa Exceler LT 5000D

A monster in a series of new Excellers. Although its weight is only 250 grams. The gear ratio is normal – 5.2: 1. In one turn of the handle, the reel exhausts 87 cm of line. The coil costs about 9 thousand rubles. The reel is used where long-distance casting of heavy lures is required, namely in feeder fishing and sea fishing. Although we do not have many anglers who practice this kind of fishing, their feedback is extremely positive.
