It is the \u003cstrong\u003esmallest full-metal fixed spool reel Daiwa makes\u003c\/strong\u003e, built to handle \u003cstrong\u003elarge, hard-fighting fish on lighter tackle\u003c\/strong\u003e, work \u003cstrong\u003ebig, heavy lures\u003c\/strong\u003e, and fish at \u003cstrong\u003econsiderable depths\u003c\/strong\u003e. What makes it stand apart is that it achieves this in a comparatively small package. To do so, it becomes the first \u003cem\u003eCertate\u003c\/em\u003e in over 20 years to feature an aluminium rotor - combined with an aluminium body, this delivers \u003cstrong\u003eextreme strength\u003c\/strong\u003e. Yet thanks to the latest technology, it remains \u003cstrong\u003egenuinely comfortable to fish\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cem\u003eAirdrive Design\u003c\/em\u003e is the key reason aluminium could be reintroduced for the rotor: its spherical shaping and low start-up resistance mean the \u003cem\u003e26 Certate HD LT\u003c\/em\u003e is brutally strong without sacrificing too much in terms of lightness and low inertia. This reel still fishes with the \u003cstrong\u003esmooth, refined performance\u003c\/strong\u003e the Certate name is known for - only now it is a \u003cstrong\u003eCertate built for the toughest encounters\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExtreme Power Through Aluminium Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eAirdrive Design\u003c\/em\u003e was the defining step forward for the \u003cem\u003eDaiwa 26 Certate HD LT\u003c\/em\u003e. It is a design concept built around four elements: the \u003cem\u003eAirdrive Bail\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAirdrive Spool\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAirdrive Shaft\u003c\/em\u003e, and above all the \u003cem\u003eAirdrive Rotor\u003c\/em\u003e. The special spherical shaping of the \u003cem\u003eAirdrive Rotor\u003c\/em\u003e made aluminium viable as the rotor material. As a result, rotor deformation under heavy load is reduced by up to 50%, while the weight increases by only around 15 g and start-up resistance by around 30%. The outcome is \u003cstrong\u003esignificantly more power\u003c\/strong\u003e for a modest increase in start-up resistance - \u003cstrong\u003eexactly what hard fishing demands\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is matched by the \u003cem\u003eFull Metal Monocoque Body\u003c\/em\u003e in aluminium, which works together with the solid \u003cem\u003eAluminium Engine Plate\u003c\/em\u003e to give the drivetrain an extremely stable, twist-resistant foundation. This gives the \u003cem\u003e26 Certate HD LT\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eoutstanding rigidity\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eexcellent smoothness under load\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the \u003cstrong\u003esolid, planted feel\u003c\/strong\u003e characteristic of metal construction. The powerful performance with high reserves of torque makes for a confident, comfortable experience no matter how demanding the session. The \u003cstrong\u003eexceptionally high retrieve power\u003c\/strong\u003e supports you when playing large, hard-fighting fish and lets you wind in big lures with high water resistance without strain. Because the stiff aluminium rotor deforms less under load than a Zaion rotor, power is transferred more directly - delivering around \u003cstrong\u003e8% more drive force\u003c\/strong\u003e compared with another Certate model of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePowerful Performance, Excellent Feel, and Refined Looks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eDaiwa 26 Certate HD LT\u003c\/em\u003e offers more than \u003cem\u003eAirdrive Design\u003c\/em\u003e and a \u003cem\u003eFull Metal Monocoque Body\u003c\/em\u003e. Every material choice and construction decision was made with \u003cstrong\u003ehard fishing in mind\u003c\/strong\u003e. The reels feature an \u003cem\u003eATD Tough\u003c\/em\u003e drag, where the felt drag washers are replaced with \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-load carbon drag washers\u003c\/strong\u003e, delivering \u003cstrong\u003econsistent, even braking performance with increased durability\u003c\/strong\u003e. The \u003cem\u003eSUS Stainless Steel Shaft\u003c\/em\u003e adds further strength and is fitted with additional ball bearings for an optimised feel in use. A rigid \u003cem\u003eAirdrive Bail\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eoptimises line lay\u003c\/strong\u003e on the \u003cem\u003eAluminium Airdrive Spool\u003c\/em\u003e, which benefits both drag and casting performance. The \u003cem\u003e26 Certate HD LT\u003c\/em\u003e range is designed throughout for use with \u003cstrong\u003eheavy lines - for hard fishing with powerful fish\u003c\/strong\u003e. Longevity also benefits from the newly developed \u003cem\u003eMagSealed Line Roller\u003c\/em\u003e, which offers even better protection against water and debris. These reels deliver \u003cstrong\u003epowerful, high-calibre performance\u003c\/strong\u003e and carry more strength than any other Certate of comparable size. But it is not only the performance that impresses - the \u003cstrong\u003eexcellent feel in the hand\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003erefined looks\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a newly developed finish giving a shimmering lustre over a deep black base coat, make these reels a pleasure to use and to look at. They are a reliable partner when facing hard-fighting freshwater and saltwater predators. The range begins with the 3000 size for heavy zander fishing, moves through the 4000 size for pike and sea trout, and tops out with the 5000 models for cod, pollack \u0026amp; co. These species are examples rather than a definitive list - they illustrate that these are not finesse reels but \u003cstrong\u003epowerhouses for the toughest work\u003c\/strong\u003e, equally at home when you are chasing tropical predators on a trip abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed spool reel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for fresh and saltwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for the toughest applications and hard-fighting predators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Metal Monocoque Body in aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAluminium Engine Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirdrive Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirdrive Rotor in aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirdrive Bail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirdrive Spool in aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAirdrive Shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATD Tough drag system with carbon drag washers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMD Tough Digigear machined gearing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagSealed Line Roller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-strength Pinion Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSUS Stainless Steel Shaft (from size 4000)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSUS Stainless Steel Bail Arm Shaft (from size 4000)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSUS Stainless Steel Drag Knob (from size 4000)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof handle seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThinner rotor with cut-outs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeveral models available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtremely strong and robust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmallest full-metal fixed spool reel by Daiwa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Daiwa","offers":[{"title":"3000","offer_id":53638233063770,"sku":"SF39093.1","price":439.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"3000-CH","offer_id":53638233096538,"sku":"SF39093.2","price":439.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"4000-CXH","offer_id":53638233129306,"sku":"SF39093.3","price":449.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"4000-C","offer_id":53638233162074,"sku":"SF39093.4","price":449.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5000D-CXH","offer_id":53638233194842,"sku":"SF39093.5","price":469.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"5000D","offer_id":53638233227610,"sku":"SF39093.6","price":489.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/9197\/0669\/files\/daiwa-26-certate-hd-lt-main.jpg?v=1771572058","url":"https:\/\/www.pikeandperch.eu\/products\/daiwa-26-certate-hd-lt","provider":"HechtundBarsch.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
