Quick take
A lightweight 2018 Daiwa spinning reel with a moderate gear ratio suited for freshwater light-tackle fishing.
This 2018 Daiwa MX LT is a compact 1000S-P spinning reel that weighs about 190 grams, which keeps a light rod balanced through long days of casting. It has a 4.8:1 gear ratio that picks up roughly 23.6 inches of line per handle turn, and a drag that tops out around 11 pounds. Its 7 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing suit anglers who spool light mono or braid for finesse presentations.
