If you want a lightweight spinning reel with silky-smooth operation and a reliable drag system, this is probably one of the best spinning reels you can find in this price range! Who said quality spinning reels have to be expensive?! Daiwa Ninja spinning reels have already proven themselves for many years. The highly versatile reel is available in several sizes, making it perfect for Nordic fishing conditions. Size recommendations: Size 2000: Freshwater fishing Size 3000: Sea trout/light saltwater fishing Size 4000: Saltwater fishing/Sea trout Size 5000/6000: Salmon/Saltwater/Boat fishing Information from the manufacturer: Daiwa 23 Ninja LT – With the 23' Ninja, DAIWA introduces the latest Japanese design concept and inspiring technologies at an outstanding price-to-performance ratio! Compared to the previous model, the 23' Ninja has been improved in key areas and is now more sensitive and stronger. Thanks to the new lightweight Airdrive Rotor, the reel balance has been shifted from the front unit toward the lower part of the reel, resulting in improved overall balance and increased fishing sensitivity. This provides better lure feel and faster reactions. The precise and durable Digigear system ensures high retrieve power along with smooth and silky operation. The new Airdrive Bail is lighter than the previous version, highly durable, and together with the redesigned bail arm significantly reduces line tangles during casting. If the line does wrap around the bail arm, it simply slides onto the line roller when the handle is turned — no manual correction needed. The ATD Type-L drag system delivers smooth and optimized line release under pressure without high start-up resistance, providing extra security when fighting larger fish. The aluminium Longcast ABS spool features a special spool lip that improves casting distance. The Twistbuster III line roller design is ideal for braided lines, reducing line compression and minimizing twist during retrieve. Equipment: Sizes 1000 to 2000 are fitted with an I-shape handle knob, while sizes 2500 to 6000 feature a T-shape handle knob. • Latest Japanese design concept and technologies • Improved sensitivity and strength compared to the previous model • Lightweight Airdrive Rotor for better overall balance • Precise and durable Digigear for powerful retrieve performance • New Airdrive Bail reduces line tangles during casting • ATD Type-L drag for smooth and optimized line release under pressure • Aluminium Longcast ABS spool for increased casting distance • Twistbuster III design optimized for braided lines • I-shape and T-shape handle knobs depending on model size Model Ratio Weight Bearings Nylon Capacity J-Braid Capacity Drag 23NJLT1000 5.6:1/64cm 210g 4 150m/0.14mm 0.05mm-200m 5kg 23NJLT2000 5.6:1/68cm 215g 4 150m/0.16mm 0.06mm-200m 5kg 23NJLT2500 5.3:1/75cm 240g 4 150m/0.20mm 0.10mm-200m 10kg 23NJLT3000-C 5.3:1/80cm 250g 4 150m/0.23mm 0.13mm-200m 10kg 23NJLT4000-C 5.2:1/82cm 270g 4 150m/0.28mm 0.18mm-200m 12kg 23NJLT5000-C 6.2:1/87cm 270g 4 150m/0.37mm 0.20mm-300m 12kg 23NJLT6000 5.1:1/92cm 370g 4 150m/0.40mm 0.22mm-300m 12kg
