Daiwa Propex V LT 2018
The Prorex range now has an even more accessible LT reel to its name. This model comes with all the advantages of the LT concept: light yet tough. The handle screws directly into the body to turn a Tough Digigear drive gear, giving this reel - a mere 210g at 2500 - incredible cranking power. The range is perfect for hunting medium-sized predators but remains capable of handling a monster, in line with the Prorex slogan "Seek Your Monster". The 10 to 12kg ATD drag is a testament to the power of this series. The Prorex V LT is ideal for breaking into the predator fishing world with a piece of high quality gear.

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!
NEW COMPACT DESIGN
Daiwa engineers have sought to eliminate unnecessarily heavy components and shapes without compromising on the toughness or the capacity of the spool. This totally new compact design with a more powerful Digigear gives our LT reels an unrivalled weight to power ratio.
ZAION and DS5
ZAION and DS5 are extremely tough materials which benefit from Daiwa’s own carbon technology. These carbon components make the reel lighter yet tougher than standard graphite. 100% resistant to corrosion even in saltwater environments. Light, tough and durable: these are the best build materials for our reels.
Lighter: Materials have been comapred at a given density
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.
ALUMINIUM AIR SPOOL
We have re-designed the shape, size and thickness of this spool to produce an ultra-light version way ahead of its predecessors. Even lighter than our current ABS Air Spool, which fine-tunes the balance of the reel.
ULTRA POWERFUL DRAG
We’ve brought together multiple improvements down to the very finest detail of the spool build, the shaft, the discs, and the braking surface to maximise the benefits of ATD.
LT reels have redefined the boundaries of maximum drag ratings, despite their reduced size and weight.
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.
HANDLE
We have retooled the handle to bring it into line with the main objective of strength and fishing durability. The new design contributes to the lightness of the reel.
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.
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.
