The new reel Daiwa Caldia LT was manufactured according to the LT technology specifications and combines the unique Daiwa technologies with Light and Tough construction.

The first thing you will notice is its low weight, as its construction is based on the LT concept. The designation LT is not just a new name for Daiwa reels, as they were redesigned to reduce their weight, increase their strength, and make them more compact.

The strength provided by the Carbon DS5 material is a good example of the LT concept: Light, but Tough.

The models of Daiwa Caldia 2019 LT reels have a significantly lower weight than previous versions and greater braking power. Their smooth operation and perfectly soft winding will impress even the most demanding angler.

The body of the Caldia LT is made of the very light but durable against distortions material Zaion, which also provides maximum support for the mechanical parts.

The Daiwa Caldia LT reel also features improved gear transmission due to the redesigned axis. Of course, the MagSealed technology could not be absent, which provides maximum protection against water, dust, and other foreign elements and significantly prolongs the life of the reel. The two sealed bearings of the Magsealed technology replaced the older bearings on both ends of the axis.

The new "magic" magnetic liquid from Daiwa was a leap towards the future. Initially developed by NASA for transporting fuel to spacecraft, the magnetic liquid was first used in 2010 by Daiwa in the Saltigamodels. Mixing a liquid with metal was not an easy task, but Daiwa accomplished it.

In summary, the Caldia is a reel from the future, as it combines all the advantages of the LT technology with the technological achievements of Daiwa. This reel will serve as inspiration for many fishing techniques.

Technologies :

LT :

Translation with HTML code: The result of the LT technology is the construction of reels by Daiwa that have lower weight, and smaller dimensions, but significantly more power. The combination of a compact body and increased power in the gear transmission (Digigear) allows the reel to withstand heavy loads without problems in movement or body distortion. The LT technology ensures that all mechanical parts are perfectly protected from distortion and work together to provide the reel with great power in both the handle and the drag system. Particularly in the movement of the handle, you will not feel pressure, while the power generated by the reel will be inversely proportional.

Magsealed :

High-tech from Aerospace, MAGSEALED is a magnetic oil that ensures the protection of the internal mechanics and improves the rotation of the spool. The MAGSEALED technology is based on a magnetic oil developed by NASA. This magnetic liquid seal was initially used in the transmission of hard computer disks. It was resistant to dust, but not waterproof. The challenge for Daiwa engineers was to control the intensity of the magnetic force, and hundreds of tests had to be repeated. Field tests conducted by the best experts in every fishing technique showed significant gains in rotation fluidity.

ATD :

The ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) brake system features discs infused with a new special grease that optimizes the energy efficiency of the brake. This high-quality grease offers better initial grip, providing a more stable and progressive brake. As a result, the risk of line breakage during battles is minimized, thanks to the precise response of the ATD brake, which adjusts to every phase of the fight: engaging faster and more progressively at startup and offering better control during the heat of the battle. It automatically adapts to different constraints at each stage of the fight, hence its name Automatic Tournament Drag. With the Daiwa ATD brake, be prepared for calmer and better-controlled battles. The drag knob tightening is more precise, and the internal base of the spool fits better onto the axis to eliminate any play when the brake is released.

Air Rotor :

Balance, stability, and sensitivity characterize the Air-Rotor. Its arched profile, which is 15% lighter than a typical rotor, offers optimal rotational fluidity and eliminates vibrations due to its lower center of gravity.

Zaion :

Some of the bodies and rotors of Daiwa are made from Zaion, an exclusive high-density carbon with corrosion-resistant properties that is lighter and harder than magnesium. The engineers of Zaion began to create a material that was as hard as metal but as light as carbon. Conventional wisdom suggests that an aluminum cylinder provides hardness while a carbon composite is needed to construct a lightweight body and rotor. ZAION is a merger of these two properties. While typical carbon is made from nylon 6-6 resin and 20% carbon fibers, ZAION has twice the density of carbon fibers. The result is a unique material that is as strong as magnesium. A ZAION body is 25% lighter than the magnesium equivalent and 50% lighter than aluminum!

Tough Digigear :

This technology is an evolution of "Digigear" that allows for precise processing of the control wheel by providing it with a superior contact surface in order to increase the durability and fluidity of the mechanics.

Cross Wrap :

The Neo Cross-wrap system allows for optimized wrapping of the line with crossed turns and better line output during casting. This is one of the keys to avoiding problems with line shaking and twisting.

Infinite Anti Reverse :

It limits the reverse motion of the handle... to zero for better "hook sets" without shaking the mechanism and without any line slippage.

Silent Oscillation :

The perfect contact points between the helical or straight teeth provide energy efficiency close to 99% and silent rotation. Daiwa gears offer superior rotational fluidity.

Air Bail :

The "Touch Air Bail" tubular pole made of SUS303 steel is 20% stronger and lasts 13 times longer than a solid titanium pole of the same weight.

Twist Buster 2

In a nutshell, the Twist Buster technology reduces the friction of the line on the roller and minimizes line twist. Daiwa applies this technology as a solution to line twist during long casts in two ways: it "forces" the line to be launched in a specific direction at a specific angle towards the roller, and the Rollers constructed with the Twin Buster technology feature a special cone that forces the line to "twist" during retrieval in the opposite direction of the twist created by the spool's movement.

ABS :

The unique design of the reverse cone on Daiwa's rollers results in less twisting and tangling of the fishing line, as well as longer casts. However, they are also larger than other rollers, resulting in faster retrieval speeds and better brake performance.

CRBB :

Armored bearings for extra protection. Shielded for extra protection. CRBB bearings achieve 12 times greater corrosion resistance compared to standard bearings.
