Daiwa Ballistic MQ LT Spinning Reel
The Daiwa Balistic MQ LT impresses with power, lightness and performance, whether for use in freshwater or saltwater. The reel combines a variety of the most advanced technologies and construction methods that Daiwa has to offer and still retains its fair price-performance ratio.
The Monocoque design makes it possible to design the gear wheel, depending on the model size, up to 40% larger, which significantly improves the durability, load capacity and power transmission. The well-known and highly appreciated CNC-machined Tough Digigear gear is used in a Zaion V reel body made of high-density carbon fiber material and sealed with the Magsealed technology, which ensures an optimal embedding of the gear and thus guarantees a secure hold and smooth running over a long period of time. Zaion V reel bodies are characterized by a very precise, torsionally stiff and robust construction and are at the same time fabulously light. The reel body in conjunction with the MQ construction, the Tough Digigear and the total of eight ball bearings creates a reel that plays in terms of weight and performance in the very highest class and yet can be offered at a fair price.
Just like the housing, the rotor is also made of Zaion V material composite and is thus up to 15% lighter than conventional rotors and even more powerful due to a special pressure distribution. In conjunction with the AirBail bracket, the Twist Buster II line roller and the Cross Wrap line routing, the reel winds the line extremely precisely and with low vibration, all with a minimum of dead weight.
The ABS aluminum long-casting spool is supported on the axis by two ball bearings, whereby the extremely powerful ATD brake with carbon brake discs already starts at minimal resistance and thus allows fishing with thin leaders and main lines. However, the low starting resistance is not the only thing that distinguishes the brake, also the maximum braking force of up to 12 kg is considerably powerful. Thus, the reel stops even the most powerful escapes of large fish easily.
The Daiwa Ballistic MQ LT is a great reel for modern spin fishing. It combines smoothness, robustness and performance like almost no other while maintaining its fair price-performance ratio. It's great for a wide variety of spin fishing techniques, such as precise jigging for perch and zander or persistent searching of coastal waters for seatrout.

The Japanese manufacturer Daiwa is world famous for good reason. Through constant development of the products Daiwa sets standards across the globe and has rightly become one of the most popular brands ever. Especially the high-quality and innovative spinning and baitcasting reels, but also rods, clothing, lures and accessories stand for the highest quality and demands. Daiwa has set itself no lesser goal than to constantly develop and improve sport fishing, ambitious but incomparably successful to this day.
