Daiwa Legalis LT 5000 Spinning Reel - Lightweight and Durable Fishing Reel with ATD Drag System

Legalis LT 5000 Spinning Reel

The Legalis LT features the LT body (light yet tough) constructed from our all-new ZAION-V material. ZAION-V is more easily machinable than our standard ZAION material, allowing a wider range of our reels to enjoy the benefits. It is much lighter and more rigid than standard materials.

Also featuring a ZAION-V Air Rotor for weight reduction and added rigidity, the reels are lighter and easier to handle without fatigue over the long course of a full day of fishing.

Features:

• Air bail


• Air rotor (lightweight rotor)


• ATD drag, which exhibits a low viscosity at rest yet becomes more viscous immediately after drag start-up (resulting in a smoother drag)


• Carbon-light body


• Digigear, the first generation of digitally engineered gear design, ensures a perfect mesh between ultra-tough drive gear and pinion gears for optimized speed, power, durability, and smoothness


• Machine-cut handle

Specifications:

• Bearings: 6(5BB+1RB)


• Gear Ratio: 5.2: 1


• Line Per Crank (inch): 34.5"


• Weight (oz): 8.5


• Mono Capacity: 14/280, 20/180


• J Braid Capacity: 30/230, 40/160


• Drag Max: 26.4


• Handle Position: Left/right

The Daiwa Legalis LT 5000 Spinning Reel combines innovative materials and engineering to deliver exceptional performance for freshwater and saltwater anglers. Constructed with the all-new ZAION-V material, the reel’s body is both lightweight and rigid, providing durability and ease of handling during extended fishing sessions. The ZAION-V Air Rotor further reduces weight while increasing rigidity, helping to minimize fatigue and improve responsiveness throughout your day on the water. Its design emphasizes ease of use, balance, and strength, making it suitable for a variety of fishing conditions.

The reel features an ATD drag system that offers a smooth, consistent drag performance by exhibiting low viscosity at rest and increasing viscosity immediately after startup. This results in precise control during fight sequences, reducing the risk of line breakage and improving overall angler confidence. The carbon-light body contributes to the reel's weight reduction, ensuring that fatigue is minimized without sacrificing strength. The Digigear technology ensures a perfect mesh between the drive gear and pinion gears, optimizing speed, power, durability, and smoothness for a seamless retrieve experience. Additionally, the machine-cut handle provides a comfortable grip and precise control, whether you prefer fishing with your left or right hand.

Designed for versatility and performance, the Daiwa Legalis LT 5000 features six bearings (including one roller bearing) for smooth operation. With a gear ratio of 5.2:1, it offers a line retrieval rate of approximately 34.5 inches per crank, making it suitable for a wide range of fishing techniques. Its maximum drag capacity of 26.4 pounds ensures you can handle larger fish with confidence. Equipped with high-capacity lines, it can hold up to 14 pounds of mono for 280 yards or 20 pounds for 180 yards, and braided lines up to 30 pounds for 230 yards or 40 pounds for 160 yards. The reel’s compact dimensions and lightweight design make it a reliable choice for anglers seeking performance and comfort in a spinning reel.
