The Laguna LT is the latest manifestation in Daiwa's LT storyline. The redesigned reel embraces the LT Concept of light and tough. The True Carbon Frame reduces weight and size, yet is as rigid as conventional materials. The reel weight has been reduced from 7.9 ounces to 6.7 oz. in the 1000 series and 10.6 oz. to 7.6 oz. in the 3000 series. The Air Rotor System improves balance and rotation and reduces rotor weight by 15%. Reel performance is silky smooth with 3 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing. Few reels in this price range have 3 ball bearings. The Machined Aluminum handle is swept back and the knob is oversized and ergonomically designed.
