The Daiwa 20 GS BR-LT Reel is engineered with Daiwa's LT (Light and Tough) concept, aiming for a lighter yet robust reel body without sacrificing durability. It features a compact design, suitable for a range of fishing applications including carp, specialist, and pike fishing, particularly effective for stalking and roving sessions due to its lightweight construction. The body is constructed from DS4, a high-strength composite material that helps maintain rigidity and keeps the internal gearing aligned even under load, contributing to a smooth feel during retrieves. The reel incorporates a finely adjustable free-spool function, often referred to as BR Bite n Run, which allows fish to take bait without feeling the main drag, preventing the rod from being pulled into the water. The ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) system provides smooth and consistent drag performance without initial resistance, offering precise control during critical stages of a fight. Key features of the Daiwa 20 GS BR-LT Reel include: - LT (Light and Tough) Concept - DS4 Body - DS4 Air Rotor, which reduces weight and improves rotational balance for a smoother winding experience - LC Long Cast ABS Spool, designed with a tapered lip to reduce line friction and enhance casting distance - Tough Digigear, providing enhanced gear strength, power transmission, and a smooth drive - One-Touch Folding Handle, facilitating quick and easy folding for transport and storage, allowing a rod to be carried fully rigged - Cross Wrap line lay, which optimises line winding on the spool, reducing tangles and improving casting consistency - Infinite Anti-Reverse, preventing backward movement of the rotor for solid hooksets - 4 Ball Bearings, ensuring smooth operation and durability - Wooden handle knob, offering a comfortable grip - Twist Buster II Line Roller, which minimises line twist during retrieval The reel's construction primarily uses aluminum, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), and wood. Depending on the model, weights range from approximately 310g for the 3000 size to 330g for the 5000-C model, with a drag force of 12kg.
