DAIWA 26 CROSSFIRE LT 2000-XH REELS

The major revolution in the new Crossfire LT 2000-XH lies in the DS4 Airdrive rotor and the compact Airdrive Solid Bail Arm – high-engineering technologies previously found exclusively in flagship models, such as the Daiwa Exist. Internally, the Tough Digigear ensures smooth, silent operation and top-notch durability over time. For managing tiny lures and very thin lines, the reel employs the advanced ATD Type-L brakes for perfectly progressive performance, as well as the new LC-ABS spool that minimizes friction for accurate casts.

KEY TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES

• Light & Tough (LT) Concept: Low weight is paramount in ultra-light techniques. The LT series combines resistance to stress (T = Tough) with minimal weight (L = Light). In the 2000-XH size, the reel weighs just 225g, eliminating wrist fatigue after hundreds of casts.
• Airdrive Design & DS4 Rotor: The new Airdrive Rotor, made from advanced Zaion/DS4 material, has been redesigned with a perfectly round shape. Achieving a weight reduction of up to 16% (in the 2500 model) compared to the past, it eliminates rotational inertia. The light, precise rotation and the Airdrive Solid Bail Arm set new standards in its category.
• ATD Type-L Drag System: In Spinning and LRF, the drag system is crucial. ATD Type-L technology offers extremely soft and progressive drag, which automatically "listens" to line tension and adjusts resistance on its own, even at the moment of an abrupt strike. Combined with the parabolic action of the rod, it minimizes unhooking from the most delicate bites.
• Tough Digigear: A brand new gear design philosophy (a further evolution of Digigear II) that digitally calculates every detail during tooth rotation, as well as the impact of unpredictable forces. It allows for absolutely silent operation and instant response as soon as you touch the handle.
• LC-ABS Spool (Long Cast): The advanced aluminum spool aims to reduce resistance and achieve smoother line release, by having the contact edge protrude outwards. This minimizes contact of the thin line with the edge, significantly increasing casting distance compared to older ABS II spools.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

The Daiwa 26 Crossfire LT 2000-XH is an extremely fast model (XH - Extra High Gear) that retrieves 81cm of line with each full turn of the handle. This fast retrieve is ideal for **Light Rock Fishing (LRF)** and **Light Spinning**, as it allows you to work small surface lures (wtd, poppers) and small jigs (micro jigs) with absolute control, instantly taking up slack line. It pairs excellently with very thin braided lines (PE #0.6 to #0.8). When faced with a fighting bonito, sea bream, saddleback seabream, or sea bass, the 5kg ATD Type-L drag system will operate with absolute precision and linearity, preventing the delicate leader from breaking or the hook from tearing out of the fish's mouth.
