Quick take
A lightweight mid-size spinning reel built with Daiwa's LT technology for reduced weight and smooth retrieves.
The Daiwa 18 Blast LT is a size 4000 spinning reel with a 5.6:1 gear ratio that takes in about 35 inches of line per handle turn. It weighs 9.8 oz and has an aluminum build with six ball bearings plus one roller bearing. The drag tops out at 26.5 lb, and the handle can be set up for left or right hand retrieve. It suits anglers who want a compact reel for braided line.
Best for
- All-purpose freshwater spinning with lighter tackle

Skip if

- You need ultra-slow retrieves over extended sessions
Strengths
- LT technology reduces weight without sacrificing strength
- 5.6:1 gear ratio suits steady retrieves and finesse techniques
- 26.5 lb max drag handles bass, pike, and light saltwater
Trade-offs
