What type of line should I choose?
Basically there are 4 types of line we offer with our spooling services, here is a summary of what we recommend to use.
Braided Line Low Visibility (Low Vis)
This line is great for pretty much anything, bait or lures it’s a very good choice for allround fishing. It is tough, hard wearing and casts extremely well.
Braided Line High Visibility (Hi Vis)
This line is specifically designed for lure anglers in mind but you can also use it for any fishing applications. It’s high visibility makes it perfect for detecting shy bites, it’s also hard wearing and its thin diameter makes it very easy to cast light lures long distances, a great choice for allround fishing.
Braided Line Multi Coloured (Multi)
This line is multi coloured and changes colour every 10 meters. This is extremely handy when fishing from a boat or casting from the shore and you want to measure how far your bait or lure is away from you. Simply count the colours and you know how much line you have out, again this line is extremely tough wearing and is very good for long distance casting.
Monofilament Line (Nylon)
Still a practical choice, this high grade monofilament line is the perfect balance between suppleness and toughness, it has low memory for less tangles and is perfect for bait fishing.
What is backing? (Braided lines only)
On some of the reels we will use monofilament backing on the spool first then put braid over the top. We do this for 2 reasons, to pack the reel out to make sure the braid is at the top of the spool which will help you cast further and also to stop braided line spinning on a bare spool. We always join the backing to the braid so if you did need an extra bit of line for a fish you don’t need to worry as you will have that little bit more!
Can I do something different?
Of course! Just reach out to us, we’re pretty keen anglers ourselves and understand that you sometimes need something else. It’s not a problem, just pop us an email or give us a call, we will answer it!
Tips for fishing with new line
We have found with braided line sometimes you need to fish with the line a few times first to remove some of the treatments from manufacturing so it’s common to have a few more tangles on new reels. Our advice is to keep fishing, you will find with braided line once the line wears in the tangles are a lot rarer.
Light as air and as strong as steel, the famous Emeraldas name receives the LT treatment with the release of the new Emeraldas Air LT spin reel. Gifted with Daiwa's latest design innovations, and styled in the vibrant Emeraldas colours, the new Emeraldas Air LT is the ultimate combination of technology, looks and performance.
Daiwa's new LT Concept heralds a new age of lightness and toughness for the Emeraldas name, while Daiwa's famous Real Four design concept delivers its trademark pedigree and design brillance. Housed within the LT's corrosion resistant, ultra strong Zaion body is Daiwa's Tough Digigear gear technology. Tough Digigear delivers a revolution in gear design, with its high precision cutting technique achieving perfect gear meshing and ultra smooth performance. Tough Digigear is the perfect gearing system for the perfect eging reel.
Magseal seals and protects from the elements, while protection and performance are further enhanced courtesy of CRBBs. Daiwa's Air Rotor continues the Emeraldas trend for cutting edge designs, with the precision engineered rotor, lighter, stronger, more sensitive and better balanced for optimum reel performance.
Daiwa's ATD gives you the power to stop any squid in its tracks, while LT's new Longcast ABS spool, Perfect Line Stopper, and Air Bail combine for unrivalled line control and casting performance.

Key Features:
- LT Concept - an evolution in design to suit the new generation of PE/braid lines for heavier line and drag capacity, stronger gearing, improved handling and increased performance.
- Magsealed Line Roller -the magnetized lubrication system avoids any friction, reduces dust or water intrusion, eliminating oil spray and improving reel life expectancy.
- Zaion Body - our lightest, most compact and strongest body frame ever produced, far exceeding the strength of magnesium and transmitting vibration through the reel more efficiently than ever before.
- Tough Digigear - New generation Tough Digigear is 50% stronger than previous Digigear II thanks to increased diameter main gears combined with an increase in individual gear teeth size.
- Magsealed Body - Mag Seal involves scientifically designed magnetized oil that forms a seal that reduces dust, water and salt intrusion into the body of the reel to increase its longevity.
- Airspool ABS - our newly designed AL Airspool is up to 30% lighter than previous generations. The newly redesigned spool lip has improved overall castability.
- ATD - our ATD drag system is the best in the business. Reduced start-up inertia protects delicate and thin lines from the aggressive strikes of fish.
- Air Rotor- the innovative design and construction work to reduce weight, stress and flexing, whilst enhancing transmission of vibration and allowing the rotor to spin with perfect balance.
- Perfect Line Stopper- a larger rectangular flexible clip that can be used from all line angles and from light to heavy lines.
- Aluminium Air Handle- the new handle design is slimmer, more compact, and now up to 50% lighter!
