The Daiwa x SLP Works x Apia '25 Ventura LT 4000-CXH - a reel with the highest standards. In the world of rock 'n' roll, Elvis Presley became the legendary "King." But before he became king, he was the symbol of a youth rebelling against old values. And on his wrist shone a watch as revolutionary as he was: the VENTURA – the world's first battery-powered wristwatch, famous for its radical design and still loved today by people who embody the spirit of that era. For over 20 years, we have strived to reach the pinnacle in rod building. The role played on our rods should be for you what the VENTURA was for Elvis: a powerful symbol of style, attitude, and technological avant-garde. This requirement led to the creation of the APIA 25 VENTURA. With state-of-the-art technology, perfectly aligned with APIA's philosophy, it offers you:

• a unique, satisfying feeling with every turn of the crank
• an ergonomic grip that feels like it's grown on you
• A design that leaves a lasting impression because you constantly see it.

The APIA VENTURA: For anglers who are on their way to the top – and who want a reel that will share in some truly memorable moments with them. APIA 25 VENTURA – The result of real-world experience and 10 years of development Exactly ten years ago, the first APIA custom reel, VENTURA, was released. Now – a decade of technological advances later – it returns to the seabass scene as the new 25 VENTURA. Two developments have shaped the industry:

• extreme lightweight construction
• radical increase in stiffness

The 25 VENTURA combines both at a top level, thanks to full collaboration with Daiwa/Globeride. Technical highlights of the APIA 25 VENTURA Full-metal monocoque – maximum power & stiffness A one-piece, all-metal monocoque body delivers incredible robustness, stability, and durability. No weak points, no flex – pure power. Magsealed system & high-end storage The number of Magsealed elements and ball bearings used is comparable to flagship models. The result: an ultra-smooth, vibration-free retrieval sensation. Custom handle – designed for real-world use APIA placed particular emphasis on the handle solution:

• Shorter for maximum feedback
• longer for more power

The VENTURA combines both in a perfectly harmonized arm design. In addition, there is the Power Light Knob, which gives you maximum grip both when quickly reeling in and during a fight. Extra High Gear – but with optimized sensitivity Despite the high gear ratio, you feel every vibration clearly and directly. 4000 Compact Body – universally applicable Perfect for sea bass anglers who fish many different areas:

• Harbor
• Flow
• open sea

A role for (almost) any scenario. Limited special edition – further developed after 10 years A rare edition for anglers who are looking for something special and value both performance AND style.
