Daiwa Exist LT3000D is created to lead the way, the centre of attention amongst DAIWA. To create and change the future of the fishing scene. AIRDRIVE DESIGN was created to be the pinnacle, the one which all will follow. When you pick up the Daiwa Exist LT3000D the first thing which strikes you is just how light it is. Screwing in the one piece handle then lets you feel the full AIRDRIVE DESIGN effect and appreciate just how smooth the reel is. By this point you realise that the Daiwa Exist LT3000D is in a league of its own. Spool up the Daiwa Exist LT3000D with premium braid and attach it to a top end lure rod and you will take your lure fishing to a whole new level. To begin the creation of AIRDRIVE DESIGN, first DAIWA separated the spinning reel to two key components. The first was the ‘rear unit’ which consists of the body & key internal components like the drive gear. By introducing MQ technology along with the tough digigear which is now becoming standard of DAIWA’s spinning reel, it has given the rear unit high strength and durability. Following the development of the rear unit, DAIWA set out to redevelop the key components that make up what is called the ‘front unit’. By redeveloping the rotor, spool & bail assembly DAIWA has managed to reduce the weight of front unit in 2022. Years in the making, AIRDRIVE DESIGN is the result of this new thinking. DAIWA has developed an innovative masterpiece allowing anglers to be in total control. Reduced weight, smooth rotation and high response allows the reel to spin freely. All of those combined elements come together to create AIRDRIVE DESIGN. AIRDRIVE DESIGN can be broken into 4 key technologies. The new AIRDRIVE ROTOR and the newly developed AIRDRIVE BAIL both combine to reduce weight at the top end of the reel. Reduced weight creates effortless and smooth rotation, with fast start up and low inertia. Unnecessary weight and thickness has been shaved off to innovate the new AIRDRIVE SPOOL, which perfectly matches the AIRDRIVE ROTOR & AIRDRIVE BAIL to complete the redesigned front unit. Unlike the traditional internal reel structure, DAIWA has developed a low contact structure between the main-shaft and pinion gear called AIRDRIVE SHAFT. By adopting this method, friction is reduced and smoothness has improved. By combining these new technologies together allows the Daiwa Exist LT3000D to be extremely lightweight and allows the angler to experience the low-inertia flowing rotation with greater control of the line and rod action.
