Description
The Caldia (25カルディア) is Daiwa's mid-range spinning reel, rebuilt for 2025 around AIRDRIVE DESIGN and a Monocoque Body to bring flagship-level handling down to a more accessible reel. AIRDRIVE ROTOR, AIRDRIVE BAIL and AIRDRIVE SPOOL work together with a ZAION V body and rotor for a lightweight, high-rigidity build, finished in a half-matte, dark-toned styling.
The line-up runs from the finesse-tuned FC sizes up to a new 5000 size for surf fishing and light shore jigging. The pinion is MAGSEALED against salt and dust, and ATD TYPE-L drag is fitted for smooth, responsive fighting power.
This listing is the FC LT2500S-H: 170g body weight, 82cm retrieve per handle turn, 5.8:1 gear ratio, nylon line capacity 4-150 (lb-m), PE 0.6-200, and 5kg max drag.

FAQ
Is the JDM version different from the US or AU release?
Often, yes. JDM releases can differ in spool depth, weight and handle options, and the Japanese lineup is usually broader — including sizes and models never exported.
Will spare spools from my current reel fit?
Spool compatibility is per generation, not per model name. Check the model year and size code against the spool before buying — the model code is listed on every reel.
What size should I choose?
As a ladder: 1000–2500 for finesse and light lines, 2500–4000 for general lure work, 4000 and up for heavy or salt duties. Match the size to your line and water first.
PG, HG or XG — what's the difference?
PG is a slow, powerful gear for cranking. HG is the all-round high gear. XG is the fastest retrieve for picking up slack quickly — higher speed trades away winding torque.
What warranty or service do imported reels have?
There is no local service centre for a JDM reel. Repairs and servicing go back to Japan, usually with a fee and a multi-week turnaround — weigh that before you buy.
Can I still get spares for older JDM-only models?
Often, yes — Japanese makers keep parts lists for older models, and some spares are stocked here. See the spares and custom parts collection, or ask before you order.
