DAIWA 26 CROSSFIRE LT 4000 C REELS

The heart of the reel houses the powerful digitally designed Tough Digigear, which ensures silky smooth operation and consistent performance over time, even under continuous pressure. The upgrade to the ATD Type-L (Automatic Tournament Drag) braking system offers an absolutely linear, progressive, and smooth response from the very first second of hook-set, protecting thin lines. Furthermore, the advanced aluminum spool LC-ABS (Long Cast) drastically reduces friction during line or braid release, allowing for even longer and more accurate casts.

MAIN TECHNOLOGICAL FEATURES

• Light & Tough (LT) Concept: A key concern in every reel is low weight. Daiwa's LT series includes tough reels that withstand stress (T = Tough), but at the same time are extremely lightweight (L = Light). Indicatively, even the largest model in the series weighs only 290 grams, offering comfortable, long hours of fishing.
• Airdrive Design & Rotor (Zaion): The new Rotor, designed with Airdrive technology, is made from the superior Zaion material. While maintaining the top-notch strength of previous models, Daiwa achieved a significant reduction in weight (up to 16% in the 2500 model). The new Airdrive Rotor was redesigned to have a perfectly round shape and rotate flawlessly, minimizing rotational inertia. This design now forms the basis for all future reels of the company.
• ATD Type-L Drag System: A very important element for the spinning technique is the drag system. These are extremely soft and progressive drags, which automatically "listen" to the tension of the line and self-adjust resistance, even at the critical moment of hook-set. In combination with the rod's parabolic action, they leave no room for unhooking, even on the most superficial bites.
• Tough Digigear: A brand new gear design philosophy (further evolution of Digigear II) that calculates all the minute details during geared rotation, including the impact that unpredictable forces can have. These gears allow for absolutely silent rotation and immediate, precise response to every crank movement. Even the slightest touch activates the entire mechanism completely silently.
• LC-ABS Spool (Long Cast): The advanced spool aims to drastically reduce resistance and achieve smoother line release, by making the contact and friction edge protrude outwards. Thus, the contact of the line with the spool edge is minimized, and the casting distance is significantly improved.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

The Daiwa 26 Crossfire LT 4000 C is the ideal, extremely economical solution for introductory and all-around techniques. The 4000 C size (Compact body with large spool), combined with the smooth retrieve of 80cm and the 12kg drag power, makes it a multi-tool ideal for Medium Spinning with minnows and soft plastics, Light Casting / Formentera, as well as for Feeder or Match/Bolognese techniques with heavy rigs. Due to the extremely progressive operation of the ATD Type-L drag system, you can safely use thin braids (e.g., PE #1.0 - #1.2), as the reel will provide precise drag exactly where needed, without jamming, ensuring a successful battle with impressive sea bass, sea bream, or sargo.
