Just received my Daiwa Exceler LT5000D-C & it looks & feels like a 4000 due to it's smaller statue & lighter weight.

Has Air Bail, Air Rotor, ATD Drag, & Daiwa's Tournament Drag System. What i just know is when i palm it it feels light & form fitting.

Now these aren't water tight as they don't have Daiwa's Mag Seal Technology built in like the Fuego's have. So i wouldn't suggest going to pounding wave areas with salt spray flying all around you. More for fresh water to estuary areas & average calmer salt water locations. My main usage will be estuary & reef shoreline areas that have no pounding surf.
