Daiwa Procyon MQ LT Spinning Reel

Features: The Daiwa Procyon MQ LT is a new spinning reel for freshwater and inshore fishing. LT is for light and tough, meaning it is lighter, tougher, more drag and more bearings. With a smaller body design and the Digigear, this lightweight reel brings the features. The MQ is for Monocoque body, meaning the Procyon MQ LT is one main body piece, eliminating screws and seams, and improving the water resitance of the reel. Daiwa’s Air Rotor system can be found, too, which balances the spool better, bringing ultimate sensitivity and rotational balance. The spool’s lip is also fine tuned to let line come off tight, giving you fewer tangles and more casting distance. The Procyon MQ LT features a reversible handle and comes in sizes from 1000 to 4000. The Daiwa Procyon MQ LT features a one-piece monocoque Zaion V body that allows less body and frame flex providing better support on the gears and bearings and allows increased torque and power while providing longer life to the gears. Anglers will find that the one-piece monocoque Zaion V body of the Procyon MQ LT is incredibly lightweight when they pick it up and put it on their favorite rod.The Procyon MQ LT features an Air Drive Rotor engineered to be very rigid, especially at high drag pressures with little flex. The Procyon MQ LT also has generous cut-outs in its engineering design, which reduces the weight of the Air Drive Rotor. The lighter the rotor, the less inertia it takes to spin around the reel. This makes it much easier to crank the handle. The new reels also showcase a tubular air bail that reduces weight and offers more rigidity than standard wire, so you get less flex and bending or breaking. The tubular air bail is also manufactured with thicker material that feels good on the fingers when flipping the bail by hand.Another element of the Daiwa Procyon MQ LT series is Digigear technology, digitally for considerably better gear meshing increase smoothness and gear wear.Anglers will also find Daiwa’s distinctive Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) a benefit for setting the hook and fighting fish. When you set the hook, the reel instantly adds drag resistance, and then as the fish starts pulling drag, the ATD drag curve automatically returns to your prescribed setting.The Procyon MQ LT family features Long Cast ABS spool as well. The design of the spool’s lip allows the line to exit the reel at a much tighter cone-shaped angle, meeting the guide train with less resistance and force, alleviating wind knots and allowing for longer casts.
