Daiwa Silver Creek MQ LT Reel

The Silver Creek reel has established itself over the years, as a must-have in the “super finesse” reels category for Trout fishing. The technologies that Daiwa has incorporated in the Silver Creek MQ LT make it ideal for finesse styles, such as the Mediterranean LRF and Light Spinning. 

Zaion V is one of the secrets behind the amazing Daiwa Silver Creek MQ LT reel. The birth of the next generation of Silver Creek spinning reels, which have been greatly improved in rigidity, strength and rotational durability, by enclosing a huge drive gear in a monocoque body, has been based on the adoption of a new material, called Zaion V. The Zaion V is the fourth material - after magnesium, aluminum and Zaion – to be used in the construction of Monocoque body. The Daiwa Silver Creek MQ LT reels are equipped with a super lightweight Zaion V Air Rotor, to achieve light unwinding rotation and high rigidity.

The Monocoqeu Body technology achieves two things in a Daiwa spinning reel; to be both compact and robust. The Monocoque technology removes from the reel’s body unnecessary material. This is one of the most exciting technology in the spinning reel game. The Daiwa Monocoque body, an one-piece frame - eliminating the use of traditional two-piece Body & Sideplate construction. A single piece body utilizes a screw-in engine plate to house the main gear, reducing flex and twist under load creating a sealed gear box. The elimination of the side plate also has also allowed for a more compact body design as well as room for a larger gear compared to standard reel frame designs. MQ technology not only makes reels stronger & better sealed, but also more compact. Screws need material to grip to, and that means more overall size and more mass in traditional body designs. By replacing the side plate with a machined aluminum engine plate which screws directly into the reel body, MQ reels can maximize the internal space made available by using larger size drive gears than before. On top of the  weather resistance added from the MQ Technology, these reels also feature a rubber seal system for the ultimate protection from the elements.

The Daiwa Light & Tough technology is all about commitment to a thorough weight reduction, down to the details such as body, spool and handle. The LT technology is a new standard for Daiwa Spinning reels, that was born by evolving the gear that is the heart of the reel and the material of the body that wraps around it, into a tougher one.

The low capacity spool of the Silver Creek allows the angler you to store fine line, while making spooling a simple process.

Finally, the ATD is a new generation drag system, that operates smoothly according to the fighting strength of the fish and continues to work smoothly during the fight, allowing the angler to concentrate on fighting, without worrying about drag settings. The Silver Creek MQ LT has carbon drag washers, with improved Max drag force and the ability to withstand the sprinting of large fish.
