Daiwa Laguna LT Spinning Reel

The folks at Daiwa have brought out a new line of spinning reels with the budget-conscious fisherman in mind.

Daiwa’s Laguna LT series features six reels in sizes from the tiny 1000, which weighs 7.8 ounces and is made for 2- to 4-pound mono and 6- to 8-pound braid, to the 5000C, which weighs 10.2 ounces and is made to carry 14- to 20-pound mono or 15- to 20-pound braid. You’re set for anything in freshwater from bream and crappie to striped bass and in saltwater from trout to redfish.

The LT stands for “light” and “tough” with a carbon frame, ABS aluminum spool and machined aluminum handle. All models come with 3+1 ball bearings and Daiwa’s DIGIGEAR system featuring machined, digitally cut gears that are polished to increase smoothness and gear meshing.

MSRP: $39.99-$49.99
