The all new EXCELER LT - Daiwa uses a carbon fiber body called ZAION V. The new version is 3%-5% lighter than our current EXCELER for comparable sizes. It also comes with an AIRDRIVE ROTOR & AIRDRIVE BAIL like our version on the EXIST-are tubular but they&';re not on the EXCELER. We went to a solid bail wire for its rigidity and resistance to bending during normal use, the thinner, smaller wire is also lighter, which reduces the weight of the rotation, thus reducing the weight of the reel. It&';s machined aluminum handle is a comfortable, strong connection to the main gear of the spinning reel. And the retooled EXCELER is extremely smooth utilizing 5 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing to maximize performance. AIR BAIL Daiwa&';s innovative bail design features a hollow tubular stainless steel bail that delivers maximum rigidity and strength with minimum weight. Featuring a smooth protrusion-free design and construction line easily slides unencumbered along the Air Bail towards the line roller for trouble free line control. AIR ROTOR Lighter, stronger and more balanced than any rotor system that&';s come before, 'Air Rotor&'; delivers a great leap forward in rotor design and function and delivers the ultimate reel sensitivity and rotational balance.
