Daiwa Certate LT Reel

A king amongst men, Certate has always set a standard in poise and power, and the release of the Certate LT elevates those traits to a new level. A level of refinement and strength rarely achieved and seldom seen.

The Daiwa Certate has been recrafted with a Monocoque Aluminium body, bringing its lightness and toughness to the apex of mechanical engineering.

The combination of the LT Concept and the Monocoque Body offers unprecedented lightness. The Monocoque body comes in a new compact design – giving the Certate LT a surreal compromise between minimalist design and the sensational power on the retrieve.

Meticulously designed, unwavering in strength, and unmatched in performance and longevity Certate has always been synonymous with innovation and the new Certate LT heralds a new dawn and a new era, where Certate is next strong. The Certate LT combines Daiwa’s most advanced technologies and designs to deliver anglers a reel with few peers. Made in Japan, the foundation of the new Certate is its aluminium Monocoque body.

Monocoque Body

The Monocoque build boasts an aluminium frame, designed to resist torque and bending, in a slim outline that optimizes space for the drive and mech. A Monocoque body eliminates the need for a side plate and allows a more rigid body to be made and larger gears to be used for improved, winding power and torque. This means that the ratio of the size of the gear system to the volume of the body has been pushed to its technical limit. The Certate LT’s forged machine-cut Tough Digigear is 2mm larger in diameter than its closest competitor. The higher-diameter drive gear now occupies 85% of the total space of the Monocoque body. This technology optimizes the advantages of the LT Concept on both the weight and power fronts. The aluminium body Certate LT 2019 has been given a high-precision treatment and increased durability.

Combining the benefits of our MQ Monocoque body, and new gear design, the Daiwa Certate LT is more durable, smoother & more powerful than all others. At the same time it is the most advanced, lightest and strongest body Daiwa has ever developed for a Certate.

Tough Digigear

Strength is one thing, but smoothness of a fishing reel is often the easiest feature to feel and the Certate again raises the bar in this realm. This gearing technology offers even smoother and longer-lasting rotation, a total handling pleasure, as soon as you start winding: the slightest touch will set the rotor into action. The Tough Digigear drive has been designed by high-precision forging and digital tooling. This feat of engineering offers infinitely silent winding. Rotation efficiency is up 15%, creating an effortless feel when retrieving. This increase in efficiency is thanks to three main parts. A super-rigid stainless steel main shaft, MQ Monocoque body and the precision cut forged aluminium Tough Digigear.

Magsealed

Anglers facing the coastal elements, spray, and other corrosive environments demand that reel performance is preserved, no matter the circumstances. Daiwa have risen to this challenge, by guaranteeing the total sealing of a rotating element – the rotor – against the body. This has been achieved by the application of Daiwa’s MagSealed oil, which is held in place by a magnetic field, preventing the intrusion of water, or other impurities into the mech. The Certate LT 2019 has a structure with no welding and no flanges and this only boosts the overall waterproofing of the reel. It’s also the reason MagSealed oil has been applied to the pinion and on the pick-up roller. The spool structure has been revised and refined to increase its impermeability compared to the previous series.

Classic in looks, yet modern and advanced in technology and design the new Certate LT continues the famous reel’s rich history for evolution and excellence. Technology to feel, and refinement that’s sublime, the new Certate LT is next strong. Combining numerous additional features and technologies Daiwa made the new Certate LT, the most advanced Certate ever.
