Daiwa Exist G LT 2018 Spinning Reel

Automatic translation Original description available here

The EXIST LT 2018 is the fruit of 60 years of innovation and a distillation of the latest Daiwa technologies. The EXIST LT 2018 has been made in Japan and marries the new Light and Tough (LT) concept with a one-piece monocoque magnesium body. The combination of these two ground-breaking innovations guarantees the perfect balance between strength and lightness.

Lightness:
- The LT concept is all about shaving every last unnecessary surface of the reel. The futuristic design is characterised by aerated holes and bevelled cuts. The slit Air Handle is an emblem of this avant-garde range. Weight has been minimised with racing-car levels of precision, meaning the EXIST LT 2018 weights in at just 180g at 2500 size and 185g at 3000 – all the while offering the stability of a magnesium metal body. The extreme weight saving means this reel is the ideal partner for rods with AGS guides and high-grade carbon such as the Morethan Branzino AGS or the Steez AGS.

Toughness:
- The Monocoque body is a one-piece design. The wide side plate boasts an extremely stable screw which has allowed us to fit a brand new drive gear occupying the entire surface space, designed in aluminium for even more cranking power. The drag is equipped with ATD technology and is 30% stronger than before: it now boasts a 10kg rating on the 2500 model and its enlarged button offers stability and total fighting control from the first run to the final lunge.

Durability:
- The build of the EXIST LT ensures its lifespan matches its excellence. The high-tech MagSealed oil is held in place by a magnetic field. It has been placed at the centre of the key mechanical elements. The MagSealed bearings either side of the drive gear boost the reel’s durability and guarantee fluid rotation over time.

Handling comfort:
- MagSealed Oil powered by magnetised nanoparticles has been applied to the pickup roller as well as around the shaft. Set the handle to work and you’ll feel how the soft rotation will redefine handling comfort. The ultralight Zaion carbon rotor responds to the slightest twitch of the handle for unrivalled sensitivity to movements on the line – this is where you feel the 60 years of innovation in your hands.
-The Japanese build quality makes no compromises in fusing the two key elements of this exceptional product: lightness and toughness.

Technologies:

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:
- 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.

ATD:
- 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.

Air Rotor:
- The Air Rotor stands out for its balance, toughness and sensitivity.
- The arched profile and 15% weight reduction compared to standard rotors offers optimal winding smoothness and eliminates vibration thanks to the lowered centre of gravity.

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!

Air Metal:
- Lightness is the by-word of all reels made from this light and sensitive material, which is coated with an anti-corrosion treatment specially developed by Daiwa.

- Tough Digigear

Monocoque Body:
- The Monocoque Body now comes in a new, uniquely tooled symmetrical design.
- This symmetrical construction first appeared on the Certate HD 2016 and now marks a turning point in reel history, ushering a new generation of tougher reels. The drive gear is encased in a one-piece body, tougher and better sealed than ever.

Cross Wrap:
- This technology cross wraps the line around the spool for optimised offloading on the cast. This is absolutely key to preventing tangles and linespin.

Infinite Anti Reverse:
- The new Infinite Anti Reverse system is activated with 4 times less force than a classic system.
- Less than 2g is needed to engage the Real Stopper system which eliminates any handle movement, bringing sensitivity to the next level.

Silent Oscillation:
- The perfect tuning of the contact points between helicoid and straight teeth create an energy yield close to 99% and silent rotation. Daiwa gear trains offer superior winding smoothness.

Air Bail:
- The hollow Touch Air Bail is made from SUS303 steel and is 20% tougher than a solid titanium bail of the same weight, and with a lifespan 13 x longer.

Twist Buster II:
- The TB2 pickup roller has been developed by Daiwa and precision tooled to guarantee optimal line lay.

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.

CRBB:
- High quality anticorrosion ball bearings with a lifespan 10 times greater than a standard bearing.
