Perfect for a variety of bait fishing applications the Daiwa Emcast LT Bite n Run Spinning Reels are the first "live-liner" or "bait-runner" reels built on Daiwas LT Light and Tough platform. The Emcast LT features a secondary drag system that can be engaged while live or chunk bait is in the water ...that significantly reduces drag pressure allowing the fish to run after taking the bait. By flipping the rear switch or simply turning the handle the reel then reengages the primary Advanced Tournament Drag System where up to 26 pounds of smooth drag pressure will work to put the brakes on the target. This method of bait fishing is significantly more effective that simply opening the bail or loosening the primary drag with multiple rotations of the front drag knob. Built with Daiwas Light and Tough concept the Emcast LT features a lightweight and highly rigid carbon body and rotor making it one of the lightest live-lining spinning reels on the market. Available in sizes ranging from 2500 to 5000 there are models suitable for both fresh and saltwater live bait anglers in a wide range of environments.Features:Bite N Run Style Drag SystemLT Light & Tough ConceptCarbon Light BodyAir RotorMachined Aluminum HandleAdvanced Tournament Drag (ATD)

Excellent reel
I purchased this reel for surf fishing and it has been excellent. I also use this reel for live bait fishing in fresh water the bite and run feature is awesome and this reel has plenty of drag compared to other brands.
The reel is rated for saltwater The emcast is a newer reel still waiting for hands on experience to get a fair comparison between the two.
Either back with mono or electrical tape
The spool is indeed a aluminum spool the body of the reel is made of composite material.
<span>Hi Trike, According to Daiwa, The Daiwa Emcast LT Bite n' Run Spinning Reels have both a top main drag and a bait drag or live liner drag which can be adjusted when you are in a live bait mode to prevent backlashes and to better detect bites. Please
You can certainly use this real in saltwater, just be sure to hose off after every use! <p>This reel is not magsealed so I would not recommend dunking it in fresh or saltwater!</p>
The Emcast has very similar specs to the other Daiwa LT reels like the Daiwa Fuego LT and the Daiwa Exist LT. It depends which reel you are comparing it to. Some are built with different features and spool sizes for specific reasons and techniques.
Hello, Yes these are the newest model. Yes they will fit on a 9'2 rod. They are not magsealed
Hello J. Unfortunately these reels do not come with a spare spool.
