Daiwa Regal LT 2000D Line Capacity & Reel Setup Guide
The original Regal LT 2000D adds reserve for light-line fishing: Daiwa lists 220 yards of 6 lb mono, compared with 160 on the 1000D. Its Air Rotor keeps this in the lighter freshwater spinning family. The calculator below follows the non-B RGLT2000D, so you can check your chosen line with or without backing.
Quick Answer: Best Line for the Daiwa Regal LT 2000D
Best overall range: 8-15 lb braid
Simple alternative: 4-8 lb mono/fluoro
8-15 lb braid is ReelCalc's starting suggestion, not a manufacturer limit. A straight-line alternative is 4-8 lb mono/fluoro. Match either choice to your rod and fishing conditions; backing is optional.
Who Is the Daiwa Regal LT 2000D For?
For light freshwater spinning for trout, panfish and finesse presentations, choose your line around the rod, presentation and cover. This guide follows RGLT2000D; do not substitute the capacity of a similarly named reel from another generation.
Use the Pre-Loaded Regal LT 2000D ReelCalc Calculator
This calculator is set to RGLT2000D. Capacity Only estimates a full spool; Backing + Main Line estimates backing beneath the working length you choose. Both are estimates. The listed retrieve is available for the handle-turn estimate.
Best Line Setup for the Daiwa Regal LT 2000D
Start with the line range that suits your rod and fishing. You can fill with main line or use backing beneath a shorter working length. For braid, secure the base against slipping and spool under steady tension; stop at a sensible clearance below the lip.
| Fishing Use | Suggested Line Setup |
|---|---|
| Trout | 8 lb braid with a 4 lb leader |
| Panfish | 8 lb braid with a 4 lb leader |
| Finesse Bass | 8 lb braid with a 4 lb leader |
| Simple straight-line setup | 4-8 lb mono/fluoro |
Daiwa Regal LT 2000D Line Capacity
These are the published capacity ratings for this exact model. A pound-test label does not tell you the line's diameter, so the calculator uses its existing diameter references when the reel has no verified diameter rating for that material. Watch the actual fill level while spooling.
| Line Type | Line Rating | Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Monofilament | 4 lb | 340 yards |
| Monofilament | 6 lb | 220 yards |
| Braid | 8 lb | 280 yards |
| Braid | 10 lb | 215 yards |

Daiwa Regal LT 2000D FAQs
What Size Braid Is Best for the Daiwa Regal LT 2000D?
8-15 lb braid is the practical ReelCalc range for this reel. Use the lighter end when fishing small lures for trout and panfish in open water. The upper end can provide more margin around light cover or when targeting bass, but keep the line matched to the rod and lure so the setup still handles light presentations well.
How Much Line Does the Daiwa Regal LT 2000D Hold?
The capacity table shows the manufacturer ratings for RGLT2000D. Your chosen line may be thicker or thinner than the line behind a pound-test rating. Use its diameter in the calculator and watch the actual fill level rather than trying to force on the last few yards.
