Daiwa Freams 18 LT
The redesigned Freams joins the ranks of the LT
The Freams makes its return with a totally revisited design. Mag Sealed oil not only makes the rotation smoother, it seals the components from grit and water, while the LT design brings both smoothness and pleasure to the next level. Every component has been retouched, from the spool to the handle and the drag to the drive gear. Lightness has been optimised to the maximum. At the same time, the drive gear shows the toughness of the reel from the first couple of turns. The build design has been completely overhauled in terms of volume, thickness and cut. The Light and Tough Freams boasts an ATD drag for total fighting control.

LIGHT AND TOUGH
LT is a new concept in Daiwa engineering which has produced new sizes of reels that are smaller and tougher than ever. The entirely redesigned Digigear drive is reinforced.
It’s impossible to part with an LT reel once you’ve held it in your hands!
MAGNETIC OIL
Magnetic Oil is one of a new generation of Nano Fluids that can change density and shape when a magnetic field is applied.
ATD Drag
The ATD boasts discs which have been impregnated with a specialist grease to optimise energy yield. This exceptionally high-quality product gives more grinding power at the start and offers a more stable and progressive drag. The risk of breaking off on the fight is kept to a minimum as the ATD adjusts to every phase of the fight: working faster and more progressively on the first run but offering a firmer hold for cranking power in the middle phase. It’s this adaptive feature that gives it its Automatic name.
Smoother, more controlled fights are guaranteed with the Daiwa ATD. Locking the knob is more accurate and the inner base of the spool fits better onto the shaft to reduce drag pulsing.
DS5 Body
DS5 is an incredibly strong carbon based composite material developed by DAIWA Technology and nearly strong than Zaion reels.
Carbon composite can make the reel lighter and tougher than ordinary graphite. And as they are not metal, they never corrode, even in salt water use.
Light, tough and highly durable! Together with Zaion DS5 is the ideal material for reels.
TOUGH DIGIGEAR
Inspired by the Digigear, this tougher brother has been optimised in all respects: diameter, thickness, shape and size of the teeth. We have trialled and tested each detail in turn and refined the elements with surgical precision.
The result is pure technical prowess in terms of toughness.
Cross Wrap
This technology cross wraps the line around the spool for optimised offloading on the cast. This is absolutely key to preventing tangles and linespin.
Infinite Anti Reverse
The new Infinite Anti Reverse system is activated with 4 times less force than a classic system.
Less than 2g is needed to engage the Real Stopper system which eliminates any handle movement, bringing sensitivity to the next level.
Silent Oscillation
The perfect tuning of the contact points between helicoid and straight teeth create an energy yield close to 99% and silent rotation. Daiwa gear trains offer superior winding smoothness.
Air Bail
Twist Buster II
The TB2 pickup roller has been developed by Daiwa and precision tooled to guarantee optimal line lay. The system reduces the risks of linespin on the retrieve by 90%.
ABS II
In contrast to classic cylindrical spool designs, ABS spools are tapered to limit the risks of tangling on the cast. What’s more, the lip reduces friction to boost casting distance.
The new ABSII design has been optimised to let you reach record distances on the cast.
