The Daiwa Ballistic LT3000D-C is a high-performance spinning reel engineered for anglers who demand lightweight strength, smooth operation, and long-lasting durability. As part of Daiwa’s renowned LT (Light & Tough) series, the 3000D-C model strikes the perfect balance between finesse and power, making it a versatile choice for everything from freshwater bass to inshore redfish and trout.
The compact “C” body (Compact frame, deeper spool) is made from Zaion, Daiwa’s proprietary carbon resin, which is lighter than aluminum yet incredibly strong and corrosion-resistant. This keeps the reel featherlight in your hand without sacrificing rigidity.
Inside, the reel features Tough Digigear (TDG) technology for ultra-smooth, powerful gearing, while Magsealed protection at the main shaft shields internal components from saltwater intrusion, sand, and grit—ensuring peak performance over time.
With a high max drag of 22 lbs and a slightly larger spool than the LT2500, the LT3000D-C gives you extra line capacity and torque for larger fish, all while maintaining a compact footprint and lightweight design.
• Magsealed Main Shaft – Water-resistant barrier for long-lasting internal protection

• Air Rotor & Air Bail – Lightweight design reduces fatigue, improves sensitivity
• ATD Drag System – Consistent, smooth drag with no start-up inertia
