Daiwa Fuego LT 2023 Spinning Reel

The new 2023 FUEGO LT is an upgrade to what was already the most popular reel across the Salt Strong Fishing Club members.

This new version is lighter and stronger with its ZAION V carbon-fiber body. The weight reduction was 3%-5% from an already super lightweight reel.

Best of all, they did not increase the price so this reel is even a better value than before so make sure to claim yours while you can.

 Fuego LT 2023 FEATURES:

  • ZAION-V Lightweight Carbon Body
  • MAGSEAL Technology
  • Machined Aluminum Screw-In Handle
  • 7 Bearing System
  • Available in sizes from 1000 to 4000
  • 5.2:1 and 6.2:1 gear ratios

Recommended Lines

These reels can work great with braid as well as monofilament lines from all top manufacturers. We personally recommend using braid as the mainline on top of some mono backing to use to stick to the spool and to fill the base layer of the spool with mono so you can save money on the braid. 

We have tested a variety of lines over the years, and the 2 that seem to consistently score high for both breaking strength and casting distance are PowerPro & Daiwa's J-Braid 8 Grand.

For selecting the power rating to go with, it's best to go with a power that is in the recommended range for your reel of choice (range shown above in specs).
