Daiwa Exist 2500 (JDM): All 8 Sizes – Weight, Line Capacity & Specs

Daiwa Japan's 22 Exist spec table lists 8 sizes with 2500 in the code: LT2500S, LT2500S-H, LT2500S-XH, LT2500S-DH, PC LT2500, PC LT2500-H, SF2500SS and SF2500SS-H. By spool size and drag they form 3 groups: LT2500S, LT2500S-H, LT2500S-XH and LT2500S-DH (45 mm dia. spool, 5 kg max drag, 160–170 g); PC LT2500 and PC LT2500-H (45 mm dia. spool, 10 kg max drag, 175 g); SF2500SS and SF2500SS-H (45 mm dia. spool, 3 kg max drag, 140 g). The suffix mainly changes the gear ratio: LT2500S 5.1:1, LT2500S-H 5.8:1, LT2500S-XH 6.2:1, LT2500S-DH 5.1:1, PC LT2500 5.2:1, PC LT2500-H 5.7:1, SF2500SS 5:1, SF2500SS-H 5.7:1.

Is there a US Exist 2500?

In the US spec tables we checked: EXIGLT2500-XH is the closest US size to the LT2500S-XH (different size code). We have not checked a full US Exist lineup, so other US sizes may exist.
