Getting to Know Daiwa's Luvias LT Spinning Reel

Image

Introduction: Lately, JDM Spinning reels for me are like Sith lords. They always come in twos, no less, no more. Usually it's Exist and Stella, but in 2020, I'm getting to know two others. On the Shimano side, I've been getting acquainted with Twin Power. To match, new to my arsenal on the Daiwa side, and the subject of today's review is Luvias, the 2020 Luvias FC LT2500S-XH to be exact.

I have the Certate 2019 which is also the monocoque body but the body is aluminum alloy. Is that the primary differentiation between the two reels?

I'm not familiar with the spec on the Certate, so can't say with any certainty and would probably have to open both up to inspect the gear material anyway to be sure. And I do not enjoy opening up spinning reels.

I’ll do some research and see what I can find.
