DAIWA Lexa E LT 2019 Spinning Reel

The Lexa E LT is an original reel coupling LT technology with an aluminium body (inspired by the Certate LT). This tough little jewel comes in under the 200-mark while boasting cutting-edge technologies: MagSealed oil Specifications: - ATD drag technology - Bearings : 5 + 1 - Body and Air Rotor in DS4 polycarbonate Technology: Light And Tough: - LT is a new concept in Daiwa engineering which has produced new sizes of reels that are smaller and tougher than ever. The entirely redesigned Digigear drive is reinforced. Magsealed Bearing: - MAGSEALED oil is a magnetic oil that uses aerospace technology to protect reel components and guarantee smooth rotation. - The new MAGSEALED bearings have been designed to last longer than ever. The balls are encapsulated in a completely waterproof bearing. The inner and outer rings are magnetised and joined by waterproof and stable MAGSEALED oil. The cage runs smoother and is protected from impurities. - This means that the reel’s initial performance will be indefinitely preserved. The smoothness is beyond comparison to a waterproof industrial bearing: MAGSEALED oil removes the need for a joint, meaning you won’t detect any friction on the wind. - These MAGSEALED bearings are placed either side of the drive gear in our flagship reels, so you can activate them with the slightest turn of the handle for optimum winding smoothness. The concept has been miniaturised to apply to the roller on some of our reels. Mag Sealed: - MAGSEALED oil is a magnetic oil that uses aerospace technology to protect internal reel components and guarantee smooth rotation. - MAGSEALED technology is based on a magnetic oil developed by NASA. This liquid joint was originally used for the internal workings of hard drives – providing dustproofing but not waterproofing. Daiwa engineers took on the challenge of creating a waterproof oil, working to control the intensity of the magnetic force. This took hundreds of trials with adjustments down to micron level! The technology has been tried and tested on the water with the world’s top specialists in each discipline, and it has produced a demonstrable gain in the smoothness of rotation. ATD Drag: - The ATD boasts discs which have been impregnated with a specialist grease to optimise energy yield. This exceptionally high-quality product gives more grinding power at the start and offers a more stable and progressive drag. The risk of breaking off on the fight is kept to a minimum as the ATD adjusts to every phase of the fight: working faster and more progressively on the first run but offering a firmer hold for cranking power in the middle phase. It’s this adaptive feature that gives it its Automatic name. UTD: - A powerful drag system boasting new, tougher discs which eliminate splutters, giving you more strength and accuracy on the fight. Zaion: - Some of Daiwa’s reel bodies and rotors are made from Zaion, an exclusive high-density carbon with anti-corrosion properties that’s both lighter and tougher than magnesium. - Zaion’s engineers set out to build a material that was as tough as metal but as light as carbon. Conventional wisdom holds that an aluminium reel offers toughness while polycarbonate is needed to make a light body and rotor. - ZAION is a fusion of these two qualities. While ordinary carbon is made of nylon 6-6 resin and carbon fibres at 20%, ZAION boasts twice the density of carbon fibres. The result is a unique material that is as strong as magnesium. A ZAION body is 25% lighter than its equivalent in magnesium and 50% lighter than aluminium! Super Metal Body: The Stiffness of Aluminium: - Aluminium is the most rigid reel component material. Daiwa’s engineers have specially treated the metal to form an optimal micro-layer of stainless aluminium. Digigear: - A digitally cut gear with high-precision helicoid teeth for optimal fluidity on the wind. Double Oscillation: - Double oscillation guarantees optimal line lay with no slips. The offload of the line on the cast has been optimised to keep the risk of tangles to an absolute minimum. Twist Buster: - The Twist Buster pickup roller has been developed by Daiwa and precision tooled to guarantee optimal line lay. - The system minimises the risks of linespin on the retrieve. Twist Buster II: - The TB2 pickup roller has been developed by Daiwa and precision tooled to guarantee optimal line lay. - The system reduces the risks of linespin on the retrieve by 90%. ABS: - In contrast to classic cylindrical spool designs, ABS spools are tapered to limit the risks of tangling on the cast. What’s more, the lip reduces friction to boost casting distance. ABS II: - In contrast to classic cylindrical spool designs, ABS spools are tapered to limit the risks of tangling on the cast. What’s more, the lip reduces friction to boost casting distance. - The new ABSII design has been optimised to let you reach record distances on the cast. Engine Plate: - The side plates either side of the body protect the mechanics and boost the lifespan of your reel. Custom Project: - RCS components are authentic Daiwa products made in Japan. Personalise your reel for a more comfortable, lighter, attractive product.
