DAIWA 21 Emeraldas Air FC LT2500S

For those who are fascinated by the mysterious emerald-colored gaze of the Bigfin Reef Squid. With its emerald green eyes, it fascinates people. In the early days when night games were the norm, DAIWA launched the world's first brand dedicated to egging, "Emeraldas". Revolutionary rods, reels that can mainly handle PE lines, and original egging jigs. All of these were new, and their newness established the genre of daytime egging. At the root of it all is commitment. The DAIWA development team and the charismatic testers that DAIWA is proud of, these diverse characters stoically face egging and constantly pursue evolution. We will delve into the ease and depth of egging, the charms that seem to be contradictory. To meet the emerald.

The lineup includes the LT2500 model, an all-rounder model for squid fishing that can be used throughout the season, and the FC (finesse custom) model, which is recommended for autumn squid fishing (mainly using 2.5 to 3.0 size squid jigs) that are focused on lightness.
The design is based on EMERALDAS colors.
It matches perfectly with the EMERALDAS AIR rod.

The handle knob S can be replaced.
Suitable for saltwater.

MONOCOQUE BODY
Strong and durable technology, monocoque body. Conventionally, spinning reels generally support both ends of the drive gear with the body and body cover, and then secure them with several screws. In order to further improve precision and rigidity, the monocoque body eliminates the body cover and secures the gear by screwing a high-precision plate directly into the body. This improves the precision of the gear support, and also improves rigidity and airtightness. Furthermore, by utilizing the space previously taken up by the screw, we have succeeded in expanding the size of the drive gear to its maximum. The monocoque body means MONO (one) - COQUE (shell). The completely new shape, which symbolizes the strength of a single shell, breaks the conventional wisdom of reel structure.

LT-Concept
Daiwa's lightweight and tough concept. The new standard for Daiwa's small spinning reels, "LT," was born from a thorough commitment to weight reduction in every detail, including the body, spool, and handle, and a continuous improvement in the balance between the gear, the heart of the reel, and the structure and materials of the body that encases it.

MAGSEALED
DAIWA's unique waterproof structure creates a wall of magnetic mag oil in the gap between the body and rotor, blocking out seawater, dust, and other elements.

MAGSEALED LINE ROLLER
The line roller is the part that directly receives the water and sand that the line picks up. By increasing the waterproofness of the line roller under these harsh conditions, it helps maintain the initial performance such as rotation feeling and sensitivity. In addition, the amount of salt and foreign matter that gets caught is greatly reduced, and the rotation is improved, which also improves the reduction effect of line twisting.

TOUGH DIGIGEAR
To survive in harsh environments, a reel needs a strong heart. "Tough Digigear" keeps the rotation smooth for longer.

ATD
The ATD operates smoothly and keeps working smoothly in response to the pull of the fish. It pursues smooth start and tracking, allowing you to concentrate on the fight without worrying about the drag setting.

AIR ROTOR
The unique arch shape distributes the load on the rotor, achieving a significant weight reduction with the same strength. The rotor balance is also improved, resulting in a lighter rotation with good response.

LC-ABS (Long Cast ABS)
While keeping the idea of reducing the contact resistance of ABS II, the contact point has been moved forward to achieve smoother line release. The effect of the ring part moving forward makes it difficult for the line to get on the ring, which has resulted in an approximately 5% increase in distance and trouble-free performance over the conventional ABS II. This is the next generation ABS spool that achieves LC (= LONG CAST).

Perfect Line Stopper
A new line stopper shape that is compatible with thin lines such as PE and thick lines such as leaders. It is easy to hook, does not come off easily, and is easy to remove. It is also lightweight. The horizontal setting structure saves space vertically and contributes to reducing the weight of the spool.

Stopperless body
The body structure has been simplified by removing the stopper. The decision to remove the stopper, which is a route for water and foreign objects to enter, not only reduces weight and improves waterproof performance, but also minimizes the risk of sudden trouble when dealing with harsh environments or large fish, which are required of the 21EMERALDAS AIR series.

Power round type EVA knob
Adopted "Power Round Type EVA Knob" that is ideal for egging. Easy to grip and non-slip EVA specification. Black EVA material makes dirt less noticeable even if it gets dirty with squid ink. BB specification of handle knob is single handle model ⇒ 2BB double handle model ⇒ 1BB (double handle model can add 1BB to each knob)

Explanation
The single handle specification of the FC model is the lightest in the history of egging.
It weighs only 160g.
It is recommended for autumn squid fishing, mainly using 2.5 to 3.0 size egi.
The overwhelming lightness contributes to the sensitivity to feel not only the bite of the bigfin reef squid, but also the slightest change in the tide.
It uses a normal gear that is easy to respond to technical lures with reduced travel distance.
