{"product_id":"daiwa-ballistic-mq-lt-spinning-reels-2025","title":"Daiwa Ballistic MQ LT Spinning Reels 2025","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Ballistic MQ LT brings Daiwa's AIRDRIVE design — the architecture that debuted on their high-end spinning reels — down to a much friendlier price. The AIRDRIVE rotor is lighter and better balanced so the reel starts and stops on a dime, the AIRDRIVE ABS long-cast spool trims weight while adding casting distance, and the AIRDRIVE bail flips over cleanly and lays line without fuss. The result is a reel that feels a class lighter than it should for how much backbone it has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat backbone comes from the MQ monocoque body: instead of a bolted-on side plate, the gear housing is a single sealed ring-locked piece, which stiffens the whole frame, keeps salt out, and leaves room for a larger drive gear. Daiwa cuts that gear 40% thicker — their MQ Tough Digigear — so power transfer holds up under real load, and the main shaft is MAGSEALED, Daiwa's magnetic-oil seal that blocks water and debris from working into the body. Eight bearings plus a roller bearing, two of them corrosion-resistant CRBBs, keep it turning smoothly season after season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery size in the 2025 lineup runs a high-speed gear. The 1000D-H and 2000D-H (5.8:1, 11 lb drag, 6.0 oz) are finesse and bay tools — perch, spotted bay bass, light trout gear. The 2500D-XH and 3000D-XH step up to 6.2:1 with 22 lb of max drag, right in the wheelhouse for calico bass, halibut and inshore work, and the 4000D-CXH (6.2:1, 26.4 lb drag) has the speed and capacity to pick up slack fast when a school-size yellowtail or bonito is headed at the boat. All five wear the deep \"D\" spool, so there's real line capacity behind the compact bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;\"\u003e1000D-H — 5.8:1, 28.8\" per turn, 6.0 oz, 11 lb drag, J-Braid 6lb\/320yd · 8lb\/200yd\u003cbr\u003e2000D-H — 5.8:1, 30.3\" per turn, 6.0 oz, 11 lb drag, J-Braid 8lb\/280yd · 10lb\/215yd\u003cbr\u003e2500D-XH — 6.2:1, 34.5\" per turn, 6.7 oz, 22 lb drag, J-Braid 10lb\/250yd · 15lb\/185yd\u003cbr\u003e3000D-XH — 6.2:1, 36.8\" per turn, 7.4 oz, 22 lb drag, J-Braid 15lb\/250yd · 20lb\/220yd\u003cbr\u003e4000D-CXH — 6.2:1, 39.1\" per turn, 7.9 oz, 26.4 lb drag, J-Braid 20lb\/280yd · 30lb\/200yd\u003cbr\u003eAll sizes: 8+1 bearings (2 CRBB), MQ monocoque body, MAGSEALED main shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daiwa","offers":[{"title":"1000D-H","offer_id":50561632960814,"sku":"BAMQLT1000D-H","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2000D-H","offer_id":50561632993582,"sku":"BAMQLT2000D-H","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2500D-XH","offer_id":50561633026350,"sku":"BAMQLT2500D-XH","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3000D-XH","offer_id":50561633059118,"sku":"BAMQLT3000D-XH","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4000D-CXH","offer_id":50561633091886,"sku":"BAMQLT4000D-CXH","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/0844\/5742\/files\/daiwa-ballistic-mq-lt-spinning-reel-2025.webp?v=1785946840","url":"https:\/\/charkbait.com\/products\/daiwa-ballistic-mq-lt-spinning-reels-2025","provider":"CharkBait!","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
