Description

23Gekkabijin LT (23月下美人 LT) is Daiwa's light saltwater game spinning reel for aji (horse mackerel) and mebaru (rockfish) fishing.

All three sizes — LT1000S, LT2000S, and LT2000S-H — weigh 165g and use a ZAION V monocoque body with ATD TYPE-L drag. LT1000S (5.1 gear ratio) suits slow-retrieve aji fishing, LT2000S (5.1) covers general light salt use, and LT2000S-H (5.8) is set up for float-rig and long-distance casting.

Information

The drivetrain

A ZAION V monocoque body and ATD TYPE-L drag keep all three sizes at a consistent 165g, giving a light, direct feel suited to detecting the subtle bites typical of aji and mebaru fishing. Overall it behaves as you would expect for a build of this specification, rewarding a measured, deliberate technique over brute force.

What it's built for

Purpose-built for light saltwater games targeting aji (horse mackerel) and mebaru (rockfish): the LT1000S suits slow-retrieve aji work, the LT2000S covers general light saltwater use, and the LT2000S-H is set up for float-rig and long-distance casting. It earns its place in the rack for exactly the situations outlined above, rather than as a general stand-in for other gear.

How it fishes

Wind slowly and steadily for aji on jigheads or sabiki-style rigs, or cast further and work light plugs and jigs for mebaru around structure and harbour lights after dark. Small adjustments in timing and pace through the retrieve often make the difference between a follow and a committed strike.

Spools and spares

Pair with a dedicated aji or mebaru rod, light PE or fine fluorocarbon line, and small jigheads or light plugs sized to the fishery. Treat the figures above as a starting point and adjust line and leader to match conditions on your own water.

Will I be charged import duty or tax?
