If you look at the details and convert the price that was given by matty into Aussie dollars you are looking at something like the caprice type reel... they both have 3 bearings and 1 roller..

the main difference looks to be the bail arm..

Anyway.. hope it helps

Hi,

If u were to get the daiwa freams

u might as well spend a few more
and get the Caldia 2005 (US$ 170 / AU$ 260)

Caldia 2005 (Shallow Spool - economic for 4lb fireline)
8.0 oz (225 g)
5lb - 110 yd
4.7:1 gear
2kg drag max
4BB 1RB
65 cm

Caldia 2000 (Normal spool)
8.0 oz (225 g)
8lb - 165 yd
4.7:1 gear
2kg drag max
4BB 1RB
65 cm

Freams 2000 (Normal spool)
9.5 oz (270 g)
8lb - 165 yd
4.7:1 gear
2kg drag max
3BB 1RB
65 cm

Caldia has better quality components then freams
Freams has the normal bail / arm
Calida has air bail

If u have more money,
u can get the Luvias
magnesium rotor, but can be used in salt water
fills the gap between the tournament airity and caldia at us$200 (AU$300)
very value for money for both reels: calida and luvias

My 2cents

Hi

I have had a Caldia and sold it as I had too many reels. I didn't like the look of the spool, it looks like plastic and feels like it. Rayman is wrong about the bail arm, the freams has got a airbail just like the Caldia and the Aus Capricorn. For mine go the Freams which you should get in to the country around the $160 mark. Great value for money.

My 2 cents worth.

Hi again,

Price is actually $145 at the moment plus freight and it will be to your door in 5-6 days. Cheers.
