Daiwa Certate HD 3000 (JDM): LT3000-CH vs LT3000 vs LT3000-XH – Weight, Line Capacity & Specs

Daiwa Japan's 26 Certate HD spec table lists 3 sizes with 3000 in the code: LT3000-CH, LT3000 and LT3000-XH. By spool size and drag they form 2 groups: LT3000-CH (10 kg max drag, 225 g); LT3000 and LT3000-XH (10 kg max drag, 245 g). The suffix mainly changes the gear ratio: LT3000-CH 5.7:1, LT3000 5.2:1, LT3000-XH 6.2:1.

Is there a US Certate HD 3000?

Daiwa US's 2026 CERTATE HD table (checked 2026-10-13) lists CERHD3000-XH (size code 3000-XH). It does not have the same size code as a Japanese Certate HD 3000 size, so we do not treat it as the same reel.

Every Certate HD size: Japan vs US 2026 CERTATE HD → JDM-only sizes

Which spools fit the Daiwa Certate HD 3000 sizes?

Daiwa's custom-parts brand SLP Works lists the 26 Certate HD as compatible with its EX LT spools at series level; it does not publish a size-by-size table. See the SLP Works spool list and warnings.
