new or old? size?

[zaneofishing]

sorry new 2500

Awesome reel, gets smoother the more u use it. Only downfall I found is the drag clicker a bit too stiff making the use of ultra light line a bit tricky. In saying that I've caught snapper to 50cm on it, a 2000 size and its my fav reel.

I have a 2500 I've used for snapper and bass. The 2500 is a great reel and handles snapper we caught to 4kg with ease. Drag is great, I didn't find drag clicker a problem, but it's a bit big for bass and bream I found so I'm getting a 2000. Much better reels than my older Luvias DA's. They come with a spare spool also, unlike the new sol II which will only be available in 2004 and 2508, thought still same price as the 11 Caldia just nicer looking.

I have a pair of caldias 2012s I can't fault them (2000)s I'm using 4lb td sensor on them and no problems with drag haven't pulled any 4kg snappers on them but bass an bream ranging upto 50cm and spare spools awesome to swap between bass to bream

I love them. If you buy smart you can get one to your door from Japan for
$215-225. I've got a 2000 and 2508

Love mine. I have a 2500 and it works well on all my rods. Regards. HBt.

Just bought a new 2000 because I'm so impressed with my 2500. With the 4kg drag I'll be using the spare spool for snapper with black label :-)

cheers mik

Picked up a 2004 this morning n it feels amazing I would go as far as saying its as nice as my 2010 Certate will be buying more in the not to distant future that's for sure!

Now has 2 line roller bearings and shields
Main Shaft bearing
Spool Bearing
2 Knob bearings instead of one.

Have you found much of a difference after adding the extra bearings?

My Caldia is great. Used it heaps over the last year or so and it's still as good as new.
