WHAT IS IT?
Daiwa KAGE LT
WHAT SETS IT APART?
With sizes 1000-5000, the Kage LT serves the multispecies types who complement their bass finesse efforts with walleye, trout and panfish pursuits. At any level, the reel’s A7075 aircraft-grade aluminum Tough Digigear technology (lightweight aluminum precision machined and digitally cut) ensures dependability and durability. At the moment of truth, anglers will appreciate how the Advanced Tournament Drag applies calculated resistance during the hook set, then automatically returns to the selected drag setting during the fight. For reliable gripping, the smaller 1000-2500 sizes include a premium, compressed cork handle, while the 3000-4000 sizes include a larger rubberized T-handle.
HOW DO I USE IT?
Don’t be offended if Daiwa suggests you “lighten up.” It’s no scoff, rather an invitation to fish the KAGE LT spin reel, the company’s new design with a rigid, lightweight body made of woven high-density carbon resin ZAION material that promotes durability, while resisting corrosion. Also, the KAGE LT’s Air Rotor features specific cut-outs that reduce weight, while fortifying stability and minimizing rotor wobble. A tubular Air bail also reduces weight and provides more rigidity than standard wire.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
In Japanese, the term Kage means “shadow,” but it often carries a “secretive” or “elusive” nuance. Daiwa chose this name to appropriately distinguish a family of products that are only available at independent brick and mortar dealers. Complementing the KAGE LT spin reels, Daiwa recently introduced its KAGE Bass and Walleye Series rods with equally impressive features including an Air Sensor Reel Seat, Fuji guides with Alconite rings, Daiwa’s elite SVF Nanoplus carbon resin and x45 technology to eliminate blank twist.
