The Daiwa 26 Crossfire LT Spin Reel is designed for anglers who want proven Daiwa performance in a lightweight, easy-to-use package. Built around Daiwa’s LT (Light & Tough) concept, this reel delivers reliable strength, smooth rotation and effortless casting, making it an ideal choice for beginners, everyday anglers, and anyone needing a dependable all-round spinning reel.

Perfectly suited to estuary, freshwater and light inshore applications, the 26 Crossfire LT excels when targeting bream, flathead, whiting, trout and bass. Its compact body balances beautifully on light to medium spin rods, while the refined internals ensure smooth retrieves and consistent drag pressure when a fish is on.
