Team Daiwa TD Luna 253 Baitcasting Reel
![]()
This is new to the market and built for heavier fishing, it’s designed for the heavier line so you can fish for the bigger fish with ease. Very good for cranking the fish from out of cover situations. It is very strong, why well because the frame and sideplates are made from a solid barstock aluminum which makes this lightweight as well.
Features –
• Frame and sideplates machined from solid bar stock aluminum
• Free-Floating Spool for maximum casting performance
• Magforce®-Z automatic magnetic anti-backlash control (Centriflex automatic centrifugal system on 300 size)
• Infinite Anti-Reverse
• Rugged, six-point drive train support
• Hard anodized to resist corrosion
• Dura-Loc™ pinion for solid gear engagement
• Ultra-smooth, multi-disc drag with Daiwa’s exclusive fiber composite and stainless washers
• Five CRBB Super Corrosion Resistant Ball Bearings plus roller bearing
• Machined aircraft aluminum spool
• Cut proof Titanium Nitrided stainless steel line guide
• Spool click on 300 size
• Weight – 11.10oz
• Ratio – 5.1;1


I was going to purchase the CVZ253 but encountered this babe of a reel at the last minute. So glad I did… its a dream to cast with, built like a brick out-house and the drag is the smoothest I’ve come across. Love it!

I tried the calcutta te 400 which is excellent reel but found that the daiwa luna 300 offers the same quality for $100 less.
