DAIWA 18 Emeraldas Air LT3000S-CXH

"LT" is the new standard for small spinning reels.
Mag Sealed (pinion part)
ZAION air rotor
ATD
ZAION body
Machine cut tough digital gear (made of duralumin)

A thorough commitment to weight reduction in every detail, including the body, spool, and handle. The LT is the new standard for Daiwa small spinning reels, born from the evolution of the gear, the heart of the reel, and the material of the body that encases it, to something tougher.

MAGSEALED (pinion part)
An innovative waterproof structure that shuts out seawater and foreign objects by creating a wall of magnetic "mag oil" in the gap between the body and rotor. Since the body and rotor are non-contact, the initial rotation performance is maintained for a long time while maintaining the light and smooth rotation. Since the introduction of reels equipped with Mag Sealed, the incidence of rotation abnormalities caused by "salt jamming" or "foreign object contamination" has been greatly reduced, except for special cases such as submerging in water. Moreover, the longer you use it, the more noticeable the difference becomes, showing that the waterproof and dustproof effects of Mag Sealed are at a very high level.

ATD [Automatic Drag System]
A new concept drag that starts smoothly and continues to work while following the squid's pull. It breaks away from the conventional drag as a "line breakage prevention device" and is developed as a drag that actively utilizes the drag to "reduce drag adjustment during the fight, prevent line breaks and catch squid faster." Eging is a fishing method in which the drag is exerted not only during the fight but also when jerking, and the feeling is used to grasp the field condition, so the drag is an essential part that directly affects the catch. A smoother drag operation is a big advantage.

AIR ROTOR
A rotor with a unique arch shape that symbolizes Daiwa's latest spinning reel. Freed from the need for waterproofing thanks to the Mag Sealed system, the load is distributed by the optimal rim structure, resulting in a significant weight reduction with the same strength as before. The rotor balance is also improved, resulting in responsive rotation.

ZAION
A carbon resin with high density carbon fiber woven into it, it is light, strong, and resistant to corrosion. It is a material that makes the impossible possible, surpassing magnesium in terms of strength to weight ratio. It is used in major parts such as the body and rotor, contributing to the realization of the contradiction of high rigidity and light weight.

Perfect Line Stopper
A new line stopper that can handle thinner and thicker lines. It stops the line more easily than previous stoppers.

LC-ABS Spool
A new spool design that achieves long casting distance and trouble-free operation.
