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

Daiwa Japan's 24 Certate 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, 205 g); LT3000 and LT3000-XH (10 kg max drag, 225 g). The suffix mainly changes the gear ratio: LT3000-CH 5.7:1, LT3000 5.2:1, LT3000-XH 6.2:1.
