Daiwa Luvias Reel LT 2020 Model Release
For many inshore anglers, the Daiwa Luvias needs no introduction. Nor does it need a list of colourful superlatives to describe its pedigree.
The Daiwa Luvias reel is all class. It’s a precision fishing reel that’s enjoyed a very loyal following since it first hit the shelves decades ago.
The new 2020 Daiwa Luvias is for sale now at the fishing tackle shop. The range is comprehensive with a brilliant selection of models. Whether you cast the lightest of soft plastics for bream or bass or cast spinners at trout, there’s a Daiwa Luvias Reel to suit you and your fishing styles.
Indeed, the majority of inshore applications and targets, fresh and salt, are superbly covered by at least one model in the 2020 range. All you need to do is pick which one when making your online order here at Fishing Tackle Shop.
It’s worth noting that the Daiwa Luvias reel has been the first choice tournament bream and bass anglers for many years. You can expect that they’ve already pre-ordered the 2020 released model to ensure a speedy upgrade.
In many respects, the Luvias is to the inshore angler as the Saltiga is to the offshore angler. They’re with not much peer in their respective applications.
The Luvias combines Monocoque (MQ) and Zaion technologies to create a one-piece body that is both incredibly rigid and strong while remaining remarkably light. The new frame also sports a screwless rear cover that adds superior protection and balance.
The Tough Digigear diameter has been increased, delivering not only higher power but also reduced winding inertia. Weight reductions have been achieved through a re-design of the Zaion Air Rotor and handle assembly.
And that’s what Daiwa’s LT concept is all about. Lighter, more compact, yet even more robust, more rigid and more durable.
The finesse drag has been refined in the shallow spool models delivering even tighter tolerances for finesse applications. For the deeper spools, the drag knob size has had an increase for improved ergonomics.
The new spool is a long cast ABS. Anglers can cast further, enhancing stealth opportunities and increasing range, while maintaining the brilliant line management Luvias has always enjoyed.
Of course, the bearing count in the new Luvias ensures a flawless crank that’s velvety smooth and powerful.
Check out the Daiwa 2020 Luvias specs below. There’s a model or two that will cover nearly all of your inshore applications. While the price-point might be on the high side, you’ll forget all about it as soon as you hold it in your hands. It’s worth every cent.
