Daiwa Certate LT Spinning Reels
Loaded with top-of-the-line features and technologies that were previously only found in Daiwas flagship reels the Daiwa Certate LT Spinning Reels redefine what you can expect from spinning reels in their class. Built around Daiwas LT "Light and Tough" concept the Certate LT utilizes a lightweight c...ompact body to house an oversized precision machined main gear for the perfect combination of power and precision. Daiwa has borrowed their revolutionary monocoque single-piece body design from their ultra high end models like the Exist LT to create an aluminum frame that not only provides extreme rigidity and strength but eliminates the necessity for pins and screws to hold the body together thus making the reel more resistant to water intrusion. This frame design in addition to Daiwa’s proprietary Magseal technology used to seal the main shaft and roller bearing make the Certate LT a reel fit to withstand the elements in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Other standard issue Daiwa features such as a lightweight Zaion Air Rotor Design and corrosion resistant ball bearings make the Certate LT a proper weapon of choice for those looking to dominate the lakes and inshore waters with the latest cutting-edge performance.Daiwa Technology Found In Certate LT Spinning Reels:LT Concept - The LT family of reels boast a smaller lighter more compact body which is paired with a larger DigiGear for the ultimate combination of Light and Tough.Monocoque Body - Monocoque Body refers to the use of a one-piece frame and reel body. A single piece body allows for exceptional strength and rigidity better spatial efficiency for housing larger gears improved water resistance with the absence of screws and significant weight reduction.DigiGear - The all-new DigiGear is precision machine cut and polished. This results in unmatched efficiency better transfer of energy and maximum smoothness.MagSeal - MagSeal is the process of using MagOil a special liquid developed through space engineering to create a water and dust resistant barrier. Unlike rubber seals MagOil will not effect the rotational performance of a reel. This creates a seal that allows the reel to maintain a light and smooth rotation for optimal performance. Air Rotor - The Air Rotor weighs up to 15% less than ordinary rotor designs. Its unique shape reduces unnecessary weight while distributing stress more evenly throughout the rotor for maximum strength.Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings - Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings boast a lifespan up to 12 times longer than traditional stainless steel bearings.

I bought my CertateLT5000D in 2019 and have landed hundreds of stripers with it. I paired it with a St. Croix Avid 8' and calling it a baby Saltiga really doesn't do it justice. It's the smoothest reel I've every felt. I bought a bearing kit last year that adds the bearing on the main shaft and in the drag stack to duplicate the two bearings the Exist has that the Certate doesn't… read more out of the box (now 12+1). You don't need them, but with them, the drag becomes almost intuitive. I can't overstate the smoothness of this reel, or the power it has. After maybe 200 fish, it still feels new. This year I hope to get offshore with it and take on some schoolie size tuna and Mahi with it. Daiwa did everything right with this reel. Buy it sight unseen. Add the 2 bearings and it's an aluminum bodied Exist.

I have the 5000 paired with the 8ft ODM DNA. This reel is amazing. Its smooth and sturdy. I cant recommend this reel enough. Ive put a great number of hours and fish on this reel and it hasnt skipped a beat.
I accidentally used oil on the line roller but nothing bad happened. Keep in mind that this reel is magsealed when you try to service it.

Top 6 reels in the world!
18 Stella FJ, 18 Exist LT, 19 Certate LT, 19 Vanquish, 19 Stella SWC, and 20 Saltiga are the best spinning reels for me.
As soon as I got 19 Certate from TackleDirect, I upgraded 2 ball bearings for spool and main shaft so it gets full ball bearings like 18 Exist LT, plus Daiwa SLPW ALUMINUM ROUND KNOB. If you spend enough money on this reel,…

This is by far the smoothest reel that I've ever handled. It is rugged and light as well. The handle is comfortable as well. I have the 3000xh paired with a 6'6'' st croix avidx that I primarily use to throw senko worms for LMB. It is quite simply the best reel I've ever handled.

This reel is mind blowing. Its one of the smoothest reels Ive ever handled. This thing has one giant main gear that helps in cranking on that fish on the other end. It features a lot of stuff from its bigggg brothers the saltigas and man its absolutely the best thing you can honestly but in this price range right now
Amazing & powerful for its size!

This is one badass little reel. It's super lightweight and crazy smooth when turning the handle. I caught a 42 inch snook on this little guy and definitely impressed by it. Perfect for inshore & freshwater fishing. Also has some sealing in it to keep salt and sand out.

This is one of the finest reels I have ever had the opportunity to use.
It is super lightweight and I feel like the one-piece body makes a connection between the reel and the rod-like I have not experienced with any other reel.

<span>Hi Ryan, the Daiwa CERTATELT4000-CXH Certate LT Spinning Reel would hold enough line for fishing False Albacore and would be great. However, since this is sold out currently I would also recommend the Shimano TPXD4000XGFA Twin Power XD FA Spinning R
