Quick take
A lightweight Daiwa LT spinning reel with a six point two to one gear ratio and twenty-two pound drag for freshwater fishing.
The Daiwa 20 Crest LT3000-CXH is a compact 3000-size spinning reel with a high 6.2:1 gear ratio that picks up about 36.6 inches of line per handle turn. It weighs 8.5 oz and carries a 22 lb maximum drag, with a 4/1 bearing layout and a light I-type knob. A spool that holds more line than the 2500 size makes it a fit for anglers who want a light all-round spinning setup.
