Daiwa - 22 CALDIA SW 18000

$54970

The biggest reel in the Caldia SW range, the 18000 is built for extreme battles with tuna, GTs, and trophy kingfish. With a massive PE8–300 m capacity, 20 kg of ATD drag, and a rigid aluminum monocoque body, it delivers the stopping power and durability needed offshore.

Oversized Tough Digigear provides relentless torque, while the 5.3:1 gear ratio and 125 cm per crank keep you in control. Balanced by an AIR ROTOR, 85 mm handle arm, and EVA power knob, it’s powerful yet smooth in hand.

Rotor Brake

A built-in rotor brake engages whenever the bail is opened, stopping unwanted rotor rotation. This prevents the bail from accidentally flipping shut if the handle moves under casting shock, ensuring smoother and more reliable casts.

Stopperless Body

By eliminating the traditional stopper mechanism, the body is made lighter, more durable, and better sealed against water and debris. This design choice not only improves waterproofing but also reduces the chance of mechanical issues when battling large fish or fishing in harsh conditions—performance you can rely on in the 22 Caldia SW.

Manual Bail Return

Manual Bail Return
Equipped with a manual return system, this design completely eliminates accidental bail flip-backs during casting. It also enhances durability by preventing the bail from snapping shut when the handle is turned. (Sizes 6000–18000)
