Quick take

A lightweight 5000-size spinning reel with a 6.2:1 gear ratio and 12 lb drag capacity, designed for precision and durability.

This Daiwa spinning reel from the 2019 Celtate LT line is the 5000D-CXH, a larger-bodied size for anglers fishing heavier line and bigger water. It pairs a 6.2:1 gear ratio with about 105 cm of line per handle turn, a 250 g body and 12 lb of maximum drag. Ten ball bearings plus one roller bearing and an aluminum handle round out a reel aimed at walleye, bass and inshore spinning.

Best for

  • Medium-weight freshwater species and saltwater applications
  • Anglers who want a lightweight reel that handles extended casting sessions
  • Situations where high gear ratio aids in line recovery

Skip if

  • You need maximum drag capacity for large saltwater species
  • You prefer lower gear ratios for power

Strengths

  • LT designation indicates lightweight construction for comfortable all-day fishing
  • 6.2:1 gear ratio enables quick line recovery and pace of presentation
  • Aluminum construction and stainless steel bearings provide durability

Trade-offs

  • LT reels sacrifice some drag capacity for reduced weight
  • Lighter reel may require careful spool tension adjustment
  • 5000 size is mid-range, not optimal for ultralight or heavy-duty applications
