The 2025 Ballistic MQ LT spinning reel from Daiwa embodies the perfect fusion of innovation and performance, designed to deliver exceptional results in a wide range of fishing applications. At its core lies Daiwa's AIRDRIVE Design, a comprehensive system that redefines the standards of strength, balance, and weight distribution. The AIRDRIVE Rotor provides enhanced robustness and balance, while the AIRDRIVE ABS long-cast spool reduces weight and increases casting distance.
The AIRDRIVE Bail ensures effortless line management, allowing anglers to focus on landing their target species with confidence cast after cast. Built to withstand the rigors of frequent use and harsh environments, the 2025 Ballistic MQ LT features Daiwa's exclusive MQ body, which amplifies rigidity and corrosion resistance. The reel's MQ Tough Digigear boasts a 40% thicker gear design, resulting in greater strength and power transfer.
Furthermore, the 2025 Ballistic MQ LT incorporates Daiwa's revolutionary MAGSEAL technology, which seals the main-shaft and prevents the intrusion of water and debris into the reel body. This advanced sealing system further enhances corrosion resistance, ensuring the reel's performance and longevity even in the most demanding conditions. With its elite combination of innovative design, premium materials, and advanced technology, the 2025 Ballistic MQ LT delivers exceptional results for anglers seeking a high-performance spinning reel.
AIRDRIVE BAILDesigned with a smaller diameter, reducing the weight of the front unit, while still providing strength. In comparison to previous light weight models, weight is reduced by 33% (2500 size). The angle of the bail has also been altered, improving line management by guiding the line through the line roller with ease.
AIRDRIVE ROTORA newly developed Rotor maintains the strength of previous designs, while significantly reducing weight. a 16% weight reduction from previous light weight models allows for trouble free, flawless rotation.
AIRDRIVE SPOOLA new spool skirt design to further reduces weight for improved oscillation, less resistance during rotation and better overall balance of the reel.
LT CONCEPTLT (Light Tough) technology is based four key elements, Lighter, Tougher, more drag, and more bearings. Featuring a new compact body design and Tough Digigear LT reels introduce a new level of lightness and toughness to spin reel design.
MAGSEALED BODYUltimate protection is delivered to the engine room of the reel with a magnetized oil seal located on the main shaft of the reel's rotor shutting the door to the elements and unwanted intruders. Dust, water, and salt intrusion into the inner workings of a reel are a thing of the past with MagSeal.
MONOCOQUE (MQ)MQ Body takes reel design to the next level. The MQ system does not require a body cover, instead using an engine plate to screw directly to the body. Eliminating the need for screws to hold a body cover in place. MQ body improves the strength of the reel, it also improves the water-resistance of the body and allows a larger diameter drive gear to be installed.
TOUGH DIGIGEARA further evolution of its predecessor Digigear, Tough Digigear is our brand new digitally designed, machine cut gearing system that ensures ultimate gear precision, rotational smoothness, and strength.
