  • Material<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Daiwa Exceler and Legalis LT are similar in manufacturing and use the same material. Both of their materials are a blend. But, the Daiwa Fuego LT spinning reel is made of pure aluminum.<\/b><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Item weight<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      There is a slight difference between the weights of Daiwa Legalis, Exceler, and Fuego. <\/span>The Daiwa Legalis weighs 0.4 pounds. On the other hand, the Daiwa Exceler LT and Daiwa Fuego 2500 D are 0.45 lb.<\/span><\/p>\n

      If you want a slightly lightweight fishing reel, you can go for the Daiwa Legalis LT. Overall, both have LT (light and tough) features.<\/b><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Ball bearings<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Daiwa Fuego has six ball bearings. But, the Exceler and Legalis both have five ball bearings.<\/strong> This significant feature of Fuego added a new dimension to the fishing reel.<\/p>\n

        Many reel users believe that more ball bearings are good for smooth operation, and it is absolutely true. The possibility of friction is reduced when more ball bearings remain in a reel. So, the Daiwa Fuego is the best according to the ball-bearing feature.
