Daiwa Procyon Spinning Reels – Smooth Performance Meets Value
Elevate your fishing game with the Daiwa Procyon Series, a lineup of spinning reels built to deliver premium features—like magsealed protection, precision gearing, and lightweight durability—at a smart price. Perfect for anglers chasing performance without breaking the bank.
What Makes Procyon Stand Out:
Procyon EX: Features a Hardbodyz aluminum frame, Magsealed construction, Air Bail, Air Rotor, and Digigear tech—making it a rugged and smooth all-around reel.
Procyon AL: Offers the same core design plus advanced ATD drag and Long Cast ABS spool—players will notice better casting distance and smoother drag right from the hookset.
Procyon MQ LT: Built on a single-piece Zaion V Monocoque body, it's ultra-lightweight and rigid. Includes Air Drive Rotor, tubular Air Bail, and the smooth ATD drag, plus Long Cast ABS spool for longer casts and enhanced sensitive performance.
Performance Specs (Sample Models):
EX / AL 2000–4000 Series: Gear ratio around 5.6–6.0:1, lightweight frames (8–14 oz class), and drag systems rated between 8.8–17.6 lbs.
MQ LT Series:
1000D: 5.0:1 ratio, 6 oz weight, ~11 lb drag
2500D‑XH & 3000D‑XH: 6.2:1, 6+1 bearings, ~22 lb drag
4000D‑CXH: 6.2:1, ~26.4 lb max drag, about 8.1 oz
Angler Praise & Real-World Performance:
The Procyon EX offers exceptional smoothness for its price, including superb line management—handling fluorocarbon elegantly with zero tangles or backlash.
Bassmaster reviews call out the AL version as a "lightweight product with high‑end features," affirming that it delivers pro-level quality without the premium price tag.
