The 2026 Daiwa Tatula MQ FC LT2500-H / LT3000-XH spinning reels are purpose-built additions to the Tatula MQ family, with two specialized configurations: a Finesse Custom 2500-H for maximum sensitivity and a Power Finesse 3000-XH for added cranking strength around heavier cover.
The FC LT2500-H Finesse Custom combines a compact 1000-size ZAION V MQ body with a 2500-size AIRDRIVE Spool and ZAION V AIRDRIVE Rotor. This combination reduces overall weight while maintaining casting performance and retrieve speed, making it particularly well suited for forward-facing sonar, hair jigs, and lightweight finesse techniques.
For anglers needing additional power, the LT3000-XH Power Finesse uses an oversized 4000-size ZAION V MQ body and gearing with a 3000-size AIRDRIVE Spool and rotor. This configuration provides considerably more winding power while retaining the casting characteristics and retrieve rate expected from a 3000-size spinning reel—ideal for presenting finesse baits around grass, docks, brush, and heavier cover.
Both models incorporate Daiwa technologies including MONOCOQUE (MQ), TOUGH DIGIGEAR, ZAION V Body, AIRDRIVE Rotor, AIRDRIVE Bail, AIRDRIVE Spool, and ABS Longcast. They also feature upgraded rigid machined-aluminum handle arms for increased durability.

LT3000-XH Power Finesse: 6.2:1 gear ratio, 36.8" line retrieve per turn, 7.6 oz weight, 22-lb maximum drag, 2CRBB + 6BB + 1RB bearings, mono capacity of 8/160 and 10/130, and J-Braid capacity of 8/220 and 10/185
