From the manufacturer

Daiwa Legalis LT 6.2:1 Left/Right Hand Spinning Fishing Reel

With a stark, modern appearance, the handsome reels are modestly with an abundance of design and engineering features. The LT body (light yet tough) is constructed from a carbon-based composite that is much lighter than conventional materials yet very durable. With a much greater strength to weight ratio, the reels are lighter and can be handled without fatigue over the long course of a full day’s fishing. The spool design features the Advanced Ballistic System or ABS. This technology utilizes a reversed taper to pay out line in bigger loops reducing outgoing friction and improving casting distance. The oversize spool also holds more line and can exert more pressure on hooked gamefish. The Air Rotor and Air Bail are carbon composite designed lighter and stronger than conventional designs. Smoothness of operation is assured by 6 ball bearings and a roller bearing. Rarely in the spinning reel market can you find a reel modest yet loaded with state of the art technical and design features. The Daiwa Legalis LT is that reel.

Questions about Daiwa Legalis LT 6.2:1 Left/Right Hand Spinning Fishing Reel - LGLT2500D-XH

Is it good for bass fishing

Answer: Yes. I have two of the 2500 size for dropshot and finesse presentations.

Answer: Yes

What size is it

Answer: I bought the 2500..for trout/flounder/bass/striper

Answer: 2500

Is this reel for left handed users only?

Answer: Left or right hand retrieve. You can switch to either side.

Answer: No, the handle is reversible.

Answer: The handle can be changed to right hand or left hand retrieve making it a left hand or right hand hand all modern day spinning reels are like this

Answer: Can Use this Reel Right or Left. Just Unscrew and Put Handle on Either Side. Very Nice Reel Too!

Answer: It's for both you can move the handle from left to right by unscrewing the opposite side of the handle

Answer: No, the handle is reversible.

What are the proper procedures for using this in saltwater?

Answer: I bought mine fore fresh only, I spear salt, fish fresh. Probably wouldn’t make a huge difference using it as long as you washed it out, but my preference is to keep this fresh only. If I was to start fishing salt I personally would have a set up for strictly salt & one for fresh. Just my preference though.

Does this real have the Magseal And how many pounds drag Does it have

Answer: Magseal not sure what that is ? But it has a 22lbs. rated drag. Great Reel!

Is this reel for left handed users only?

Answer: No, the handle is reversible.

What is the difference between the daiwa legalis lglt2500d and the daiwa legalis lglt2500d-xh ?

Answer: Gear ratio. The xh is a 6.2 and the d is 5.2.

Answer: XH has higher gear ratio and more inches of line retrieve per handle turn....which is VERY nice to have. If you make long casts the higher gear ratio is a must have. I would never buy a reel with the lower gear ratio unless used for panfishing in a smaller pond, or for fishing from a kayak.

Is this good for saltwater?

Answer: Light tackle rinse thoroughly after! made for fresh water!

What is the drag weight

Answer: - Water Type: Freshwater/Saltwater

Does it really work?

Answer: AWESOME REEL

What is a good rod to match with this reel for fresh water fishing.

Answer: It All Depends on the Size of Reel(s). I Have 2 of the 2500lt Series, Paired with Berkley(s) 6'6" Medium Light Rods. Works for Me! Very Nice, Quality Reels for the Money. Would Buy Again!

Answer: BSLR662M is the choice I tried from Berkley lightning rod line. 6 ft 6in 2 piece find it to be a perfect match! Super sensitive and casts where i want it to!

Answer: Very good reel light weight, fast speed, with M fishing rod

Answer: Dobyns fury med light. Or if you don’t want to spend 100$ then any med or med light spinning rod will do

Answer: I put mine on a St Croix Bass X 7’1” medium but the Daiwa AirdX is also a great option at $50.00.

Does have an extra spool?

Answer: no, mine did not come with an extra spool

Answer: No, Does Not Have an Extra Spool. Very Nice Reel, I Have 2, and Would Purchase Again.

Answer: No

Answer: no

Is the body plastic?

Answer: Not a plastic body, aluminum.

Answer: It is constructed from a carbon based composite which makes it lighter than aluminum.

What size would you pair for ultra light ?

Answer: 2500 at most of you can go smaller it would be more suitable for an ultra light.

Braid line ready? Is the spool aluminum? Is there a button to allow back realing?

Answer: Needs backing and yes the spool is aluminum and yes there is a switch to let line out reeling(back)

What is the return policy?

What is the line capacity on the 2500D?

Answer: I just put 240 yards of 6 lb P-line on mine. Hope this helps.

Answer: Depends on the Type of Line, and Line Diameter. Very Nice Reel Would Definitely Buy Again

What are the little plastic washers that come with the reel used for?

Answer: The Washers Are Provided To Add to the Spool if Your Line Does Not Lay Even When Spooling. Meaning Too Much Line on the Front or Back Of Spool. Uneven Line Lay. Hope This Helps! I Didn't Have to use on My 2 Legalis Lt Reels! Great Reels!

Answer: They can be used under the spool to adjust the height of the spool. Adjusting the height of the spool affects the line lay on the spool. If the line lays too much at the top of the spool, adding one or two washers will help even out the line lay.

Answer: I think it is for spool height adjustment for if the line does not lay on evenly

Product reviews of Daiwa Legalis LT 6.2:1 Left/Right Hand Spinning Fishing Reel - LGLT2500D-XH

Bianca : Good experiance

Great condition great reel

Castman : the quality for this price is insane

i see the reviews, but i do own the top of the line shimanos and penn reels of the same size. and this reel is just great for a lot! less no joke.thanks

Amazon Customer : greatz

works great

Jared Wood : Haven’t used it, but it’s a beautiful reel and the price is unbeatable

Just opened the box and I love the way this reel looks. I bought the 2500 size and I plan to use it for inshore fishing in Southern California. It’s gonna be put on a 7’ medium action rod and I’m gonna use it for drop shotting and small swimbaits. I will update my review when I have gone fishing.

Rafi : Rafi

Was delivered to the wrong address -
Lite and what we needed. +

William Heller : Terrible reel. Can not cast lure just flutters out. tried different rod same results.

Worked fine first 3 or 4 uses, then it started fraying my 20lb braid line. I put new line and did the same thing. Rod is also brand new. Tried reel on other rods but same thing happened.

Matt S. : Very nice mid-range reel.

Smooth drag and light weight for all day fishing. Not as beefy as my Diawa BG, but much lighter. Very pleased with the cost vs. value on these. Much nicer than my comparable shimano reels.

steven : High value.

Very smooth reel. Feels a lot more expensive then it is.

Bianca : Good experiance

Great condition great reel

H&H : Good spinning wheel

Good spinning wheel。Hope there is a good experience in fishing

Eric : Best quality reel on the market for less than $100

I have fished Shimano Sahara reels for almost 25 years. I have owned at least a dozen of them. The handles stick on the Sahara reels.....they ALL did it, not just one or two. I have even sent several to the factory for rebuilding and they still would stick. These new Daiwa Legalis LT reels with the 6.2:1 ratio have about the same line retrieve speed as the Shimano Sahara's did. The feel and the durability of the Diawa is excellent. The drag on the Daiwa Legalis LT is absolutely superior to the Shimano Sahara's drag. I will never buy Shimano reels again. Diawa is my new "go-to" reel from now on. I could not be more please with their new LT series reels.

Tony : Smooth, Strong, Excellent Value

This is my second purchase of this reel. I use it for finesse bass rigs. It’s very smooth mechanically and strong enough to handle a good sized fish. Never a problem with the drag. Value for the price is out of this world. Definitely recommend this reel.

Quinn Shaw : Excellent product.

This reel and the Okuma Epixor XT have, to me, changed the landscape of sub $55-60 freshwater reels. They both are made of high quality materials, are manufactured well, and perform above their price tags. I believe we're seeing major manufacturers competing with the lower end products companies like Kastking and Piscifun are putting out and that they have the ability to produce a better product. Spinning reels in this price range are very much alike in the way they function, it comes down to materials and manufacturing and I believe the Legalis and Epixor are a step above the rest.

Amazon Customer : great reel

all the diawa reels are high quality

William Heller : Terrible reel. Can not cast lure just flutters out. tried different rod same results.

Worked fine first 3 or 4 uses, then it started fraying my 20lb braid line. I put new line and did the same thing. Rod is also brand new. Tried reel on other rods but same thing happened.

David L. Holt : Good quality and value

I haven't used it much yet, since it's winter here, but had it out a few times and it works great

Ryan A. : Not my favorite..

Used for less than 5 hours total and the spool fell apart in the middle of a fishing trip. Several casts after landing a fish, the reel fell apart with the spool falling into the drink, leaving me with a useless rod for the rest of the morning. I’ve never had this happen before with any other reel. It’s almost as if the spool was completely loosened prior to casting but I was the only one using this rod/reel setup and never have my drag set anywhere near that loose.

Don’t waste your time, buy a Penn or Shimano that will last more than 5 years not less than 5 hours.

Update: replacement reel arrived and I immediately noticed the difference. The broken reel never felt as smooth as the new replacement. Drag system still isn’t my favorite but at least this one is in one piece after multiple uses. Changing from 1 star to 3 stars. Still like my $20 shimano fx more than this reel.

Jon Quidachay : Great reel

Awesome reel!

Luis Gomez : Great reel.

This is a great reel for the price. It’s very smooth and has a great drag system. I have several lews, Abu Garcia’s, and Shimano’s. This is right up there with some of my more expensive reels. Highly recommend this one.

Amazon Customer : Super Smooth

Love it, very smooth retrieve.

larry lewis : I bought two and couldn’t be happier

The best trout reel in the game
