Daiwa Kage MQ LT Spinning Fishing Reel
Behold, a new standard in freshwater to inshore spinning reel offerings, the Daiwa Kage MQ LT Spinning Reel. The word Kage is derived from Japanese for "In The Shadows." The Kage MQ LT is available in five sizes from a 1000 model for panfish and smaller freshwater fish to the KGTMQ4000D-CXH which fits the bill nicely for inshore applications and larger freshwater fish. The Kage MQ LT is rich in its feature set. First, the reel series features a one-piece Monocoque Zaion body that allows more space in the reel body for larger gears that allow more torque and power from the get-go at the same gear ratios of competitive reels. The Kage family of reels is also Magsealed, features an Air Rotor and Air Bail, aircraft grade aluminum Digigear technology, Advanced Tournament Drag, Kage logo premium cork handle knobs, and a machined aluminum screw-in handle.

- Magsealed body
- Unique system floats the spool independently on precision stainless steel ball bearings
- Monocoque system uses an engine plate to screw directly to the body, eliminating the need for screws to hold a body cover in place
- Monocoque body improves the strength of the reel, improves water resistance of the body, and allows a larger diameter drive gear to be installed
- Zaion, a high-density resin and carbon material, resists corrosion and exceeds the strength of traditional reel body materials such as magnesium and alloy
