Product Review

The Daiwa Revros LT Spinning Reels are a new wallet-friendly series of spinning reels from Daiwa that take their "Light and Tough (LT)" concept and apply it to the time-tested Revros series of spinning reels. At the core of this reel's design is a lightweight, yet incredibly rugged composite housing. In fact, when you pick up a Revros, your first instinct may be to think that its a high-end JDM reel, but it ain't. Rather, the light composite housing gives it the weighting and performance similar to that of some $500+ spinning reels, but does so with innovative, economical materials that don't necessitate a jaw-dropping price tag.

The new Revros LT is also significantly lighter than previous Revros models. The reel's weight was reduced by 2 ounces in the 2000 model and 5 ounces in the 4000 model. The light composite housing that makes this weight loss possible also greatly improves the strength-to-weight ratio, all while still providing a solid framework for the powerful DigiGear gearing.

For a smooth transfer of power to the main gear, the reel comes pre-equipped with a machined aluminum handle. Finally, the Revros also employs Daiwa's "Air Rotor" design which weighs up to 15% less than ordinary rotor designs. Its unique shape also reduces unnecessary weight while distributing stress more evenly throughout the rotor for maximum strength. Available in sizes from 1000 to 4000.
