DAIWA Caldia LT 2018 Spinning Reel

The Caldia makes its entry into the world of LT reels: stronger and smaller models. The sleek profile hides a reinforced mech while bringing the Caldia 2500 under the 200g mark. This feather weight extends to the Tough Digigear drive gear whose volume, thickness and teeth have been refined for optimal performance: smooth winding and increased durability and strength. These benefits are amplified by the magnetic Mag Sealed oil, a unique Daiwa concept. A final evolution comes in the reinforced pure stainless steel axis. Features: - ATD drag technology, full size drag button - Bearings: 6 + 1 incluing 1 CRBB - ZAION carbon body and DS4 carbon Air Rotor - Aluminium spool with Long Cast profile - CrossWrap line lay - Ultralight one-piece unscrewable Air Handle in aluminium Specifications: - Weight: 185 g Technology: ATD: - The ATD boasts discs which have been impregnated with a specialist grease to optimise energy yield. This exceptionally high-quality product gives more grinding power at the start and offers a more stable and progressive drag. The risk of breaking off on the fight is kept to a minimum as the ATD adjusts to every phase of the fight: working faster and more progressively on the first run but offering a firmer hold for cranking power in the middle phase. Its this adaptive feature that gives it its Automatic name. Air Rotor: - The Air Rotor stands out for its balance, toughness and sensitivity. - The arched profile and 15% weight reduction compared to standard rotors offers optimal winding smoothness and eliminates vibration thanks to the lowered centre of gravity. - Tough Digigear Cross Wrap: - This technology cross wraps the line around the spool for optimised offloading on the cast. This is absolutely key to preventing tangles and linespin. Infinite Anti Reverse: - The new Infinite Anti Reverse system is activated with 4 times less force than a classic system. - Less than 2g is needed to engage the Real Stopper system which eliminates any handle movement, bringing sensitivity to the next level. Silent Oscillation: - The perfect tuning of the contact points between helicoid and straight teeth create an energy yield close to 99% and silent rotation. Daiwa gear trains offer superior winding smoothness. Air Bail: - The hollow Touch Air Bail is made from SUS303 steel and is 20% tougher than a solid titanium bail of the same weight, and with a lifespan 13 x longer. Twist Buster II: - The TB2 pickup roller has been developed by Daiwa and precision tooled to guarantee optimal line lay. ABS II: - In contrast to classic cylindrical spool designs, ABS spools are tapered to limit the risks of tangling on the cast. Whats more, the lip reduces friction to boost casting distance. Spare spool: - Some reels are supplied with a spare spool. Most are identical to the original but may come in a different material or size.
