The best-selling ‘LEGALIS’ spinning reel has undergone a complete model overhaul!
Significant advancements with AIRDRIVE DESIGN & ZAION V.
ZAION V has been newly adopted for the body and rotor, resulting in a significant increase in rigidity and a reduction in weight
(The LT2500S-XH is 20g lighter than the previous model)
The AIRDRIVE ROTOR, manufactured by ZAION V, enables smoother ‘reeling’ and ‘stopping’ operations.

DAIWA Technology

AIRDRIVE DESIGN
The AIRDRIVE DESIGN is a next-generation spinning reel design philosophy that pursues the ability for anglers to manoeuvre Lures precisely as they wish. The AIRDRIVE DESIGN comprises up to four technologies. It requires the incorporation of an AIRDRIVE ROTOR, which ensures smooth reeling and produces highly responsive rotation, alongside a lightweight, trouble-free AIRDRIVE BAIL, a thin-walled AIRDRIVE SPOOL, which has been stripped of all unnecessary material to the absolute limit to achieve maximum lightness; and the AIRDRIVE SHAFT, which supports the main shaft with high-precision bushings and features a non-contact design with the pinion gear, enabling smooth, quiet reeling with minimal rotational noise even under heavy loads. The synergistic effect of these components, combined with improved weight balance within the reel, delivers a high level of manoeuvrability.
*The 23LEGALIS is equipped with AIRDRIVE ROTOR and AIRDRIVE BAIL.

AIRDRIVE ROTOR
Based on our proprietary theory, we have devised a new shape that appears as though it has been cut directly from a sphere; by then thoroughly trimming away all unnecessary material, we have achieved a significant reduction in weight whilst maintaining rigidity. The ease of reeling has improved dramatically, leading to enhanced manoeuvrability and sensitivity.

AIRDRIVE BAIL
The wire-type AIRDRIVE BAIL has been adopted. To reduce the weight of the rotor unit, significant weight savings have been achieved whilst maintaining the strength required for fishing. The reduced weight of the rotor unit, including the bail, contributes to a significant reduction in rotational inertia. This has refined the rotational response and improved manoeuvrability. A new design has also been adopted for the arm lever section, significantly reducing line tangles.

ZAION V
Making reels lighter and stronger. The Zion V was developed precisely for this purpose using a carbon hybrid resin. By meticulously controlling the proportion of carbon in the hybrid composition, it achieves a high level of lightweight performance that surpasses that of metal, whilst offering strength on a par with metal. It also boasts the versatility to be fitted to a wide range of reels, thereby embodying the very essence of Zion—which can be described as the ‘MAX spec’ of carbon hybrid resin.

TOUGH DIGIGEAR
To withstand harsh conditions, a reel needs a robust core to support it. ‘TOUGH DIGIGEAR’ ensures smoother rotation for longer.

LC-ABS (Long Cast ABS)
Whilst retaining the ABS II design philosophy of reducing contact resistance, the contacts have been moved forward to achieve smoother line release. As the ring section protrudes further forward, the line is less likely to ride up onto the ring; this has resulted in a cast distance increase of approximately 5 per cent compared to the conventional ABS II, whilst also improving reliability. A next-generation ABS spool that delivers LC (LONG CAST).

ATD TYPE-L
The ATD operates smoothly in response to the fish’s pull and maintains a consistent drag. The ATD TYPE-L offers enhanced initial response. Designed to prioritise smooth engagement and tracking, it allows you to concentrate on the fight without worrying about drag settings.
Product Overview
ZAION V Body & Rotor
The new body and AIRDRIVE ROTOR, as well as the body cover, incorporate the carbon hybrid material ZAION V.
In addition to reducing the weight of the body, the new AIRDRIVE ROTOR—with its innovative shape, which appears as though it has been cut directly from a sphere based on our proprietary theory—significantly improves the lightness of the initial reeling, leading to enhanced manoeuvrability and sensitivity.

Featuring the series’ first screw-in handle and a large-size Power Light-Type EVA knob
This is the first model in the Regalis series to feature a screw-in handle. It is now compatible with SLPW and RCS handles, as well as other screw-in reel handles, offering greater customisation options. The larger sizes feature a Power Light-Type EVA knob, designed for ease of use.
Power Light Type EVA Knob
The Power Light-type EVA knob, which is easy to grip and allows for firm control, comes as standard on medium to large-sized items. It assists with manoeuvring heavy lures and reeling under high loads.
* Power Light Type EVA Knob (M) LT4000-CXH
* Power Light Type EVA knobs (L) LT5000-CXH, LT6000D-H
* Power Light Type EVA Knob (M) LT4000-CXH
* Power Light Type EVA knobs (L) LT5000-CXH, LT6000D-H
Perfect line stopper
A new-design line stopper compatible with both fine lines, such as PE, and thicker lines, such as Leaders. Its horizontal shape saves space in the vertical direction and also helps to reduce the weight of the Spool.
Introduction by Item Type
| items | Description |
|---|---|
| LT1000S | A model designed for light game fishing such as trout, ajing and Rockfish. Its light weight of 175g is a major advantage for delicate fishing with light lures. [Recommended target fish] Area trout, ajing, Rockfish, etc. |
| LT2000S-P・LT2000S-XH | A versatile reel suitable for light tackle fishing in both fresh water and saltwater. Weighing just 175g, its lightness is a major advantage for delicate fishing with light lures. The LT2000S-P is a low-gear model with a gear ratio of 4.8 and a handle rotation of 63 cm per turn – features not found on the 18 Regalis. [Recommended target fish] Aji fishing, rockfish fishing, area trout, native trout, etc. |
| LT2500D・LT2500S-XH | Versatile models covering a wide range of environments from saltwater to fresh water. Two items to choose from, differing in gear ratio, reel capacity and handle. The LT2500D features a gear ratio of 5.3, a handle rotation of 75 cm, and a spool capacity of 150 m of 12 lb (No. 3) nylon line, making it suitable for bait fishing as well. The LT2500S-XH has a gear ratio of 6.2 and a line retrieval of 87 cm per handle rotation, increasing Lure retrieval speed and enabling fast-paced fishing. [Recommended for] Squid Fishing(Eging),Bass fishing,Versatile use |
| LT2500S-DH | A versatile model suitable for a wide range of environments, from salt water to fresh water. Recommended for Squid Fishing(Eging) with 200 m of PE 0.6 line. [Recommended for] Squid Fishing(Eging),bass fishing,versatile use |
| LT3000D-C・LT3000-CXH | A utility model suitable for a variety of fishing styles, including Squid Fishing(Eging),Sea Bass in bay areas and Trout fishing. Two items are available, selectable by gear ratio and reel capacity. The LT3000D-C has a gear ratio of 5.3, a retrieve of 80 cm per handle rotation, and is spooled with 150 m of 16 lb (No. 4) nylon line, making it suitable for bait fishing as well. The LT3000-CXH has a gear ratio of 6.2 and reeling that covers 93 cm per handle rotation; its fast reeling speed increases the rate at which lures can be reeled in, enabling a fast-paced style of fishing. For fishing styles that require stability during reeling, we recommend the standard gear model, which offers powerful reeling torque. [Recommended Target Fish] Versatile |
| LT4000-CXH | The quintessential model for Sea Bass and light shore jigging. Its fast retrieve speed enables a swift fishing approach.
