Daiwa 23 Exceler LT Spin Reel – Lightweight Precision Meets Unmatched Smoothness

The Daiwa 23 Exceler LT Spin Reel raises the bar for finesse and light tackle fishing, bringing together cutting-edge AIRDRIVE Design and Daiwa’s proven LT (Light & Tough) technology. Designed to be lighter, stronger, and smoother than ever before, the 23 Exceler LT is built for anglers who demand performance without compromising on value.

At the core of the new design is the AIRDRIVE ROTOR, delivering low start-up inertia for effortless winding and incredible control over lures and presentations. Paired with the Zaion V Body, this reel achieves a perfect balance of strength and reduced weight, making it ideal for long sessions in both freshwater and light saltwater environments. Whether you’re chasing bream across estuaries, bass in dams, or trout in streams, the Exceler LT provides the reliability and smoothness needed to hook and land more fish.

Enhanced with Daiwa’s ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) system for consistent stopping power, ABS Longcast spool for greater casting distance, and a screw-in handle for solid, play-free cranking, the Daiwa 23 Exceler LT is an advanced yet accessible reel suited to anglers of all levels.
