Daiwa - 25 CALDIA FC LT2500S

$34490

Precision meets versatility in the Caldia FC LT2500S — a lightweight, compact reel built for finesse anglers who want smooth control and reliability across a wide range of techniques. Whether you're softbaiting for snapper in the shallows, micro-jigging for aji / jack mackerel, or chasing trout on light rigs, this reel delivers seamless performance and sharp responsiveness.

It features Daiwa’s AIRDRIVE design, including the ultra-light Air Drive Rotor, Bail, and Spool, all engineered to remove excess weight without sacrificing strength. The ZAION V carbon monocoque body houses an oversized Tough Digigear for buttery-smooth retrieves and long-term durability.

Matched with a shallow spool tuned for lighter line classes and the responsive ATD Type-L drag system, the 2500S model is ideal for light soft plastics, small hardbaits, and slow fall jigs — especially where subtlety and precision matter.

Key Features:

  • Finesse Custom (FC) Body – Compact and featherlight, perfect for technical fishing
  • AIRDRIVE Rotor, Bail & Spool – Enhanced balance, faster start-up, and reduced inertia
  • ZAION V Monocoque Body – Durable carbon housing with max gear support
  • Tough Digigear – Oversized gear for strength and smoothness
  • ATD Type-L Drag (5kg Max) – Light startup with consistent pressure
  • MAGSEALED Pinion – Sealed protection from salt, dust, and grit
  • Stopperless Body – Improves waterproofing and reduces failure points
  • Perfect Line Stopper – PE- and leader-friendly horizontal design

  • Weight: 170g
  • Gear Ratio: 5.1:1
  • Retrieve: 72cm per turn

  • Line Capacity: PE 0.6 - 200m / Nylon 4lb - 150m
  • Handle Length: 45mm

Best Suited For:
✔ Aji / jack mackerel and koheru on micro jigs or softbaits
✔ Light snapper fishing with soft plastics
✔ Lake and river trout fishing
✔ Ultralight rigs and finesse baits in shallow water

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.
