DAIWA EXCELER 23LT 4000 CXH REELS

The great revolution of the 2023 model is the combination of the Airdrive Rotor (16% lighter) and the Airdrive Bail (33% lighter), which drastically reduce the weight at the front and shift the center of gravity backwards for perfect balance. Internally, the digitally designed Tough Digigear gears work impeccably with the **5+1 bearings**, providing silent operation and immense pulling torque. At the same time, the advanced ATD Type-L (Automatic Tournament Drag) progressive drag system delivers a monstrous **12 kg** of power, while the LC-ABS aluminum spool and the upgraded Twist Buster III line roller guarantee long casts without tangles.

MAIN TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES

• Zaion V Body & Rotor: Daiwa's high-tech synthetic carbon material that offers superior rigidity and protects gears from distortion, keeping the weight at just 225g.
• Airdrive Design: Four-point design (Rotor, Bail, Spool, Shaft) that minimizes initial inertia during rotation, offering perfectly smooth and immediate response to the handle.
• ATD Type-L Drag System (12kg): Powerful brakes that respond with incredible linearity and progressive action, automatically increasing and decreasing resistance to prevent sudden line breaks.
• Tough Digigear: Reinforced digitally designed and cut gears that ensure silky smooth operation, maximum durability over time, and immediate power transfer under heavy load.
• LC-ABS Spool & Cross Wrap: Long Cast aluminum spool with a specially designed lip that reduces friction during line exit, combined with Cross Wrap oscillation for complete elimination of wind knots.
• Twist Buster III & Screw-in Handle: New line roller with a special groove that protects the line from twists, and an ergonomic screw-in aluminum handle that screws directly into the main gear for zero play.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

The Daiwa 23 Exceler LT 4000-CXH is a true "machine gun" for techniques requiring power, large capacity, and fast retrieve. Due to its Compact design, it pairs perfectly with Medium-Heavy Spinning rods (with Max CW 10-40g, 15-50g) but also makes an excellent, economical choice for **Light Shore Jigging** or fishing with heavy surface lures (Poppers, skipping lures). The Extra High gear ratio retrieves an incredible 99cm of line per rotation, allowing you to impart instant, twitchy action to your jigs and quickly take up slack in windy conditions. The monstrous **12 kg** drag provides absolute confidence against fighting barracudas, large pike, seabass, as well as powerful amberjacks or greater amberjacks, making it an incredible ally at an extremely affordable price.
