The 17 Ballistic LT is based on the new LT concept (Light & Tough) from Daiwa. The new LT reels are distinctly lighter and at the same time offer more retrieving power than the previous models. The dimensions of the reel body have been scaled down while the retrieving power even is improved by the new drive construction. The distortion-proof Zaion reel body cares for a safe housing of the drive and supports the low weight of the reel. The ATD drag system cares for an evenly scattered drag power without starting resistance. The CNC cut aluminum handle is firmly screwed at the driving wheel, leaving no room for gaps. The MagSealed system prevents the intrusion of water via the shaft perfect for sea fishing while the milled Tough Digigear drive supports optimal retrieving power and permanent durability.
The drag power has been additionally intensified by the new design the 2500/3000 sized models offer a maximum drag power of 10kg, the 4000/6000 sized models enable up to 12kg and the smaller models up to 5kg.
Size 6000 is delivered with a power handle knob, which is especially handy at high strains perfect for light jigging or feeder fishing.

The biggest issue with many drag systems is that they are not smooth at the beginning of the drag. ATD or Automatic Tournament Drag is the newest introduction into Daiwa spinning reels. On one level ATD implements structural changes to the spool metal of the reel that provides greater support of the spool across the entire length of the main shaft. This additional support of the spool reduces spool twist under load, promotes more even pressure on the drag washers and ultimately reduces "pulsing" of the drag when fighting the fish.
ATD - An other milestone of reel technology!
We have the perfect metal alloy, we have a more precise processing and we have the knowledge for building precise, durable and very lightweight metal reels.
These reels have a technological advantage and they are not - compared to other synthetic reels - more expensive and in comparison to our traditional reels they have an economic price.
To prevent the penetration of water, dust particles or salt crystals between rotor and reel body, we have developed a nearly frictionless barrier based on magnetic oil, which cannot be overcome by neither water nor smallest particles. The result is a silky-smooth running.
Zaion is an excellent material developed by DAIWA to built reel bodies and rotors. The big advantage of this material is its lightness and solidity. Zaion is a kind of "High Density" carbon strain material, which is made for highest performance and to resist maximum impact.
Due to Zaion, it is possible to construct a lightweight reel body that durably supports the gearing. The strength of Zaion corresponds to magnesium and is 20% stronger than Nylon/ABS material, usually used for reel bodies. Zaion is about 50% lighter than Aluminium. Zaion - the ultimative reel material!
Especially for our reels with oil barrier (Mag Sealed reels) mechanism we have developed a complete new Air Rotor. So the enormous strains, which affect the rotor via the line and the line roller are better distributed. This causes less pressure on the single parts of the rotor. The new rotor is 15% more light weighted than usual rotors of the same material - this reduces vibrations and enhances the rotational balance thanks to a very low centre of gravity.
Daiwa's innovative bail design featuring a hollow tubular stainless steel bail for maximium rigidity and strength with minimum weight. Due to the smooth, protrusion-free design of the Air Bail®, even loose line common after a cast slides easily down the bail onto the line roller as the reel is turned, without snagging or hanging up.
By the special position and guidance of the oscillation-gear wheels we improved the smoothness of the gear in comparison to usual systems of similar construction.
CNC milled digitally developed power gear for highest strains. The precision of the gear teeth is tenfold elevated compared to conventional gears.
