The Daiwa 25 Caldia LT5000-CXH sets a new standard for lightweight power in the New Zealand saltwater scene, weighing in at just 240g while delivering a massive 12kg of drag. Built on the revolutionary AIRDRIVE Design concept, this reel significantly reduces start-up inertia for effortless rotation, making it perfect for long sessions casting stickbaits or working softbaits for Snapper. With a rigid ZAION V Monocoque body and the upgraded ATD Tough carbon drag system, it offers the durability required to tame hard-running Kingfish and large Kahawai.

• AIRDRIVE Design – Reduces weight and rotational resistance for precise lure control and silky-smooth winding.
• ZAION V Monocoque Body – A one-piece carbon composite body that seals out water and houses a larger, stronger drive gear.
• ATD Tough Drag – Features carbon drag washers specifically for the 5000 size to provide consistent, fade-free stopping power up to 12kg.
• MagSealed Technology – Magnetic oil barrier protects the main shaft from saltwater intrusion, prolonging bearing life.
• Long Cast ABS Spool – Optimised spool lip design increases casting distance and reduces line friction.
• Twist Buster III – Advanced line roller technology that minimises line twist and improves line management with PE braids.
