Quick take
Lightweight Daiwa reel designed for beginners with comfortable handling and versatile line capacity.
This is the LT1000S size of the Daiwa 23 Legalis LT, a light spinning reel built around the Airdrive design and a Zaion V body. It weighs about 6.9 oz, has a 5.2:1 gear ratio that picks up roughly 25 inches of line per handle turn, and tops out at 11 lbs of drag. It suits anglers who fish light mono or braid for panfish, trout and similar finesse work.
