Daiwa Emcast LT BR Spinning Reel
The Emcast LT BR (Bite N’ Run) feature allows line to pay off the reel when a gamefish takes a live or natural bait. Once line is paying off the reel, the refined auto clutch will put the reel in gear to allow for a solid hookset. It is much more controlled than simply opening up the bail, the traditional method used when fishing natural baits with spinning reels. The reel sizes range from 2500 to 5000 for a versatile lineup suitable for many different applications in many different fisheries. The reel's upgrades all contribute to the LT (Light and Tough) concept. The Carbon Light Body is substantially lighter yet just as strong as traditional materials, and the Air Rotor is also lighter yet just as strong. A slick machined aluminum handle is powerful yet comfortable to the hand. When a gamefish is taking a bait offering and the reel is put in gear, the ATD (Advanced Tournament Drag) System, which utilizes a proprietary grease, allows for the smooth payoff of line no matter how long the run. A 5.2 to 1 gear ratio favors cranking power for winching on predatory species. If you are looking for an exciting new reel tailored for live and natural bait fishing, look to the new Emcast LT BR.
