[🎯 Why This Reel Stands Out — The Appeal of the Caldia FC LT2000S-H]
●Lightweight & High-Rigidity Body
This model features a monocoque body made from the carbon material “ZAION V.” It is extremely light yet highly rigid, offering a very nimble feel while maintaining durability to support comfortable fishing.
With a weight of just 175 g, it reduces fatigue even during light-game sessions or delicate lure manipulation, and minimizes stress on your shoulders and wrists during long hours of fishing.
●Smooth and Powerful Retrieval
With a gear ratio of 5.8 and a retrieval length of 76 cm per handle rotation, the reel is lightweight yet highly efficient. It enables quick lure recovery and responsive line handling, delivering a smooth and comfortable retrieve.
The large “Tough DigiGear” inside the monocoque body ensures stable rotation and durability even under heavy loads. From delicate light-finesse techniques to fighting fish, it offers performance suitable for a wide range of situations.
●High Waterproofing and Durability
MAGSEALED technology is used on the rotor and pinion, forming a magnetic-oil barrier that prevents saltwater, sand, and dust intrusion. This allows safe, long-term use even in harsh saltwater environments.
The combination of the monocoque structure, large-diameter gear, and sealed design provides not only lightness but also long-term reliability.
●Perfect for Light Rigs — Excellent Sensitivity for Delicate Lure Control
The standard line capacity is Nylon 3 lb–150 m / PE #0.4–200 m, making it ideal for light rigs such as small worms, light jigs, and minnows. It matches a wide variety of light-game targets including freshwater trout, horse mackerel, rockfish, and more.
Its lightweight feel and easy rotation make it stress-free for finesse tactics requiring constant casting and retrieving.
●Reliable Drag for Light to Medium-Sized Fish
With a maximum drag of 5.0 kg, this lightweight reel can handle not only light-game species but also fish that pull harder or run longer distances. It provides confidence even when fighting fish on light lines.
●Great Balance of Price and Performance — Suitable for Beginners to Experts
With an excellent balance of specifications, lightness, waterproofing, and operability, this reel delivers performance comparable to higher-end models while remaining affordable. It is highly popular as a reel that can serve as both an entry-level option and a main setup for light game.
