Upgraded Daiwa Luvias LT Spinning Reel Review

It’s impossible to part with a Daiwa Luvias LT reel once you’ve held it in your hands! But why is the reel so special? To get the answer, let’s check the Daiwa Luvias LT Review article to the end.
LONG CAST ABS (LC-ABS)
20 Luvias features LC-ABS technology for the first time in the reel’s long history. Compared to conventional spools, LC-ABS has been shown to increase the average flight distance of a cast by up to 5%, thanks to its modified spool lip design. 20 Luvias now casts further than ever before.
New LT CONCEPT
20 Daiwa Luvias LT is the epitome of Daiwa’s LT Concept. When Daiwa began the search for both Light & Tough in a single package, the concept of Zaion x MQ was considered the obvious step. Combining these key features with all other LT Concept technologies, 20 Luvias is the next step for Daiwa Luvias LT.
MONOCOQUE (MQ)
Zaion x MQ brings two of Daiwa’s key technologies to the forefront of 20 Luvias. Monocoque body design does not require the use of a body cover, replacing that with a screw-on engine plate. MQ design allows the creation of a smaller body whilst improving strength and creating more useable internal space for a larger diameter drive gear to be installed.
Durable ZAION BODY
Combining MQ body technology with Daiwa’s Zaion material, 20 Luvias is the lightest and strongest it has ever been. Impervious to the harsh saltwater environment, Zaion’s carbon construction is markedly more rigid than the competition, resulting in less flex and, ultimately, a lighter rotation performance and longer-lasting smoothness.
NEW COMPACT DESIGN
Daiwa engineers have sought to eliminate unnecessarily heavy components and shapes without compromising on the toughness or the capacity of the spool. This totally new compact design with a more powerful Digigear gives our Daiwa Luvias LT reels an unrivaled weight-to-power ratio.
DS5 is 100% corrosion-resistant
ZAION and DS5 are extremely tough materials that benefit from Daiwa’s own carbon technology. These carbon components make the reel lighter yet tougher than standard graphite. 100% resistant to corrosion, even in saltwater environments. Light, tough and durable: these are the best build materials for our reels.
TOUGH DIGI-GEAR
The new larger main gear is forged and meticulously machined using the Tough Digigear concept. Increasing the diameter of the gear improves not only strength but also decreases winding inertia creating a more fluid, effortless rotation. The MQ screw-in engine plate applies 360-degree pressure to the main gear to achieve perfect gear alignment and meshing. The result is unmatchable refinement and flawless smoothness today, tomorrow, and long into the future.
Inspired by the Digigear, this tougher brother has been optimized in all respects: diameter, thickness, shape, and size of the teeth. We have trialed and tested each detail in turn and refined the elements with surgical precision. The result is pure technical prowess in terms of toughness.
ALUMINIUM AIR SPOOL
We have re-designed the shape, size, and thickness of this spool to produce an ultra-light version way ahead of its predecessors. Even lighter than our current ABS Air Spool, which fine-tunes the balance of the reel.
ULTRA-POWERFUL DRAG

We’ve brought together multiple improvements down to the very finest detail of the spool build, the shaft, the discs, and the braking surface to maximize the benefits of ATD. Daiwa Luvias LT reels have redefined the boundaries of maximum drag ratings, despite their reduced size and weight.
HANDLE
We have retooled the handle to bring it into line with the main objective of strength and fishing durability. The new design contributes to the lightness of the reel.
Lightest Reel Ever
A new single-piece Zaion Monocoque (MQ) body design is the single greatest leap for Daiwa Luvias LT since its introduction many years ago. Daiwa Luvias LT was designed to create the lightest Luvias ever, and the single-piece Zaion MQ body allows not only makes the new Daiwa Luvias lighter but also improves the strength and size of the drive gear at the same time.
Using Zaion material allows an incredibly light body to be created, totally impervious to the harsh saltwater elements. Zaion’s lightweight carbon construction provides both incredible lightness and steadfast rigidity for long-term durability. The creation of Zaion MQ opens up a whole new world of small spinning reel design.
Safety Feature
Protection from the elements has been enhanced with a unique asymmetrical new screwless rear cover. This purposeful design minimizes intrusion into the body of the reel, while Magseal continues to deliver its unmatched protection by sealing the top of the reel body.
A new Long Cast ABS (LC-ABS) spool increases casting distance and line performance on and off the spool. It results in longer casts and improved line management. Further weight reductions from a re-designed Zaion Air Rotor and handle assembly continue on the path of the lightest Daiwa Luvias ever.
Super smooth ATD drag
Daiwa’s Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD) delivers flawless, silky smooth drag control with a larger re-designed drag knob improving control for anglers using the lightest of lines. Shallow spool models feature a decreased ‘finesse’ drag capable of very fine adjustment, perfect for light-line finesse fishing.
Daiwa Luvias LT is the epitome of the LT concept.
Perfectly blending two of Daiwa’s key reel technologies, Daiwa Luvias LT is born. Sophisticated, subtle, and classy, Daiwa Luvias is true to the famous name which Daiwa fans have grown to love over its long and famous history.
Light and Tough through and through, Daiwa Luvias LT perfectly encompasses the desire to produce a spinning reel that is not only lighter than once thought possible but also to destroy the notion that lightness is to the detriment of toughness and durability.
