Daiwa Procyon AL LT Spinning Reel
The body is constructed from Zaion, a high density carbon strain material that is 20 percent stronger and 50 percent lighter than traditional nylon and aluminum. The True Carbon Body is reduced in size and weight, yet provides a rigid framework for the powerful gearing. The well-balanced Air Rotor is 15 percent lighter than conventional rotors yet just as strong. An ATD Drag System uses a new proprietary grease that enables the reel to apply smooth and consistent start up drag pressure from the first pull.
- Lightweight and incredibly strong aluminium body
- Automatic Tournament Drag (ATD) reduces initial drag start-up inertia
- Digigear is Daiwa’s first generation of digitally engineered gear design for optimized speed, power, durability, and smooth performance

FAQ
What makes the Zaion body different from traditional materials?
The Zaion body is 20 percent stronger and 50 percent lighter than traditional nylon and aluminum, offering improved strength and reduced weight while maintaining a rigid structure for reliable performance.
How does the ATD drag system work?
The ATD drag system uses a proprietary grease to provide smooth and consistent start-up drag pressure from the first pull, reducing initial inertia and improving control during casting and retrieval.
Is the Digigear system better than older gear designs?
Yes, Digigear is Daiwa’s first generation of digitally engineered gear design, optimized for speed, power, durability, and smooth operation compared to previous models.

This reel feels incredibly light for its strength. The drag system responds smoothly and stays consistent even under heavy pressure. I’ve used it in both freshwater and saltwater environments and it performs reliably in all conditions.

The balance and weight distribution make it easy to handle during long fishing sessions. The ATD drag provides a smooth start, which helps when fighting larger fish without sudden drag spikes.

Great build quality and responsive gear. Slight learning curve with the drag system, but once adjusted, it works well. Ideal for both beginners and experienced anglers looking for a durable, lightweight option.

The carbon body is noticeably lighter than previous models I’ve used. It doesn’t feel bulky and maintains excellent rigidity during high-speed retrieves. Highly recommend for serious spinning fishing.
