Deal Details
Tomo's Tackle has Daiwa Procyon MQ LT Fishing Spinning Reel (Various) on clearance for $125.99. Shipping is free.

Thanks to community member hi4noon for finding this deal.

Available:
  • PCNMQLT1000D $125.99
  • PCNMQLT2000D $125.99
  • PCNMQLT2500D-XH $125.99
  • PCNMQLT3000D-XH $125.99
  • PCNMQLT4000D-CXH $125.99
About this item:
  • The Procyon MQ LT features a one-piece monocoque Zaion V body that allows less body and frame flex providing better support on the gears and bearings and allows increased torque and power while providing longer life to the gears. Anglers will find that the one-piece monocoque Zaion V body of the Procyon MQ LT is incredibly lightweight when they pick it up and put it on their favorite rod.
  • The Procyon MQ LT features an Air Drive Rotor engineered to be very rigid, especially at high drag pressures with little flex. The Procyon MQ LT also has generous cut-outs in its engineering design, which reduces the weight of the Air Drive Rotor. The lighter the rotor, the less inertia it takes to spin around the reel. This makes it much easier to crank the handle. The new reels also showcase a tubular air bail that reduces weight and offers more rigidity than standard wire, so you get less flex and bending or breaking. The tubular air bail is also manufactured with thicker material that feels good on the fingers when flipping the bail by hand.
  • Another element of the series is DIGIGEAR technology, digitally for considerably better gear meshing increase smoothness and gear wear.
  • Anglers will also find Daiwa's distinctive Advanced Tournament Drag (ATD) a benefit for setting the hook and fighting fish. When you set the hook, the reel instantly adds drag resistance, and then as the fish starts pulling drag, the ATD drag curve automatically returns to your prescribed setting.
  • The Procyon MQ LT family features Long Cast ABS spool as well. The design of the spool's lip allows the line to exit the reel at a much tighter cone-shaped angle, meeting the guide train with less resistance and force, alleviating wind knots and allowing for longer casts.

Tomo's tackle based out of Salem MA has the Daiwa Procyon MQ LT on clearance for $126, decent deal on a well reviewed intermediate reel for inshore saltwater and freshwater fishing. It's part of Daiwa's super light reels lineup.

Exactly, now the daiwa is half a size bigger than the shimano so a 2500 size daiwa is equivalent to the 3000 size Shimano.... But in terms of weight and drag, the daiwa is actually slightly better, but I hear the Shimano is a much tighter reel if you can afford the extra money

I got the Daiwa Procyon AL last year from WestMarine for 75 bucks (original link from SD got removed ). Great reel! I know its not the same model as this, but close. According to this guys review its similar to the ballistic. https://nyangler.com/threads/daiw...urce.6550/ Keep an eye out for these to drop as well. I believe they are discontinued.

I got that deal last year and love that reel. Wonder if I should pick these up.

Supposedly the MQ LT is a step-up from the AL. I got the AL as well. Haven't used it because I barely fish anymore these days (all my attention and money has gone to guitars lately lol) - as much as it would be fun to buy more reels, I am less inclined because I just don't go out as much as I used to. I also have the Vanford but haven't compared any of these things due to the aforementioned. One day though... I think the Vanford (and possibly various Stradic series) are going to be the closest comparison to these as a couple people have already mentioned.

Tomo's is a great locally owned business with a prices that often beat Cabelas/Bass Pro. Great staff that know their stuff, I've fished with one of their Salesmen on numerous occasions. Highly recommend you check them out, as they do a ton of mail order mail order sales.

No. The Daiwa Ballistic MQ is more comparative to the shimano vanford. I have both and they are my two favorite reels.

This reel is a step down from both but from what I hear still a great reel.
Resisting on getting one right now....😫

If you visit during striper season, don't forget your rod with a 4 to 5-in topwater and walk the lighthouse after you're done at the tackle shop
