Daiwa - 25 CALDIA FC LT1000S

$33900

Light, tight, and tuned for finesse — the Caldia FC LT1000S is a precision tool built for ultra-light applications. Whether you're chasing trout in clear streams or micro-jigging for inshore species like koheru or little kahawai, this reel is all about control, sensitivity, and effortless smoothness.

This new-gen Caldia features Daiwa’s AIRDRIVE Design, a cutting-edge lightweight concept that includes the Air Drive Rotor, Bail, and Spool — each re-engineered to strip away weight while maintaining rigidity. The result? Lightning-fast response, featherlight startup, and razor-sharp feel on every retrieve.

The ZAION V carbon body and rotor keep things compact and strong, while the Monocoque Body design allows for a larger gear inside a smaller, sealed housing. Combine that with Tough Digigear internals and a whisper-smooth ATD Type-L drag, and you’ve got a reel that punches well above its size.

Key Features:

  • Finesse Custom (FC) Build – Designed for light-line fishing where subtlety matters
  • AIRDRIVE Rotor, Bail & Spool – Ultra-light and responsive, with less inertia
  • Monocoque ZAION V Body – Strong, compact, and sealed for durability
  • Tough Digigear – Oversized drive gear ensures strength and longevity
  • ATD Type-L Drag – Light start-up and smooth operation for delicate fights
  • MAGSEALED Pinion – Keeps water and debris out of critical internal components
  • Stopperless Body – Improves waterproofing and minimizes failure points
  • Perfect Line Stopper – Works with both PE and mono/fluoro lines

  • Weight: 165g
  • Gear Ratio: 5.1:1
  • Retrieve: 64cm per turn

✔ Trout in lakes and rivers

✔ Finesse setups with ultra-light braid or fluorocarbon

Magsealed

DAIWA’s Magsealed system uses a unique waterproof structure that forms a barrier of magnetic oil between the body and rotor, effectively blocking seawater, dust, and other contaminants.

Air Drive & Monocoque

The CALDIA now features Air Drive design and a rigid ZAION V body with monocoque construction, delivering lightweight strength and precise lure control. With the new 5000 size, it’s ready for surf fishing, light shore jigging, and beyond.

Streamlined Body, Enhanced Reliability

By removing the stopper—a common entry point for water and debris—the 25CALDIA achieves lighter weight, stronger waterproofing, and greater durability. This design minimizes unexpected issues, ensuring dependable performance even in tough conditions and when targeting large fish.
