Unboxing my NEW SPINNING REEL - The Daiwa CALDIA LT 2500-XH fishing reel

Hello and welcome back to my channel! 🎣
Today we are going to unbox the best fishing reel I have ever had. I am so excited to show you the "Daiwa CALDIA LT 2500-XH" fishing reel - it is a real beauty. I love the golden accent on the black main frame. 😍 I am really so hyped for the upcoming fishing season - it is going to be amazing. I think this reel is a perfect fishing reel for beginners and intermediate or pro fishers as it is lightweight and a beautiful add-on to any rod. I am so looking forward to take this beauty out onto the river and I will be coming back to you with a full review and thoughts after some good use. How has your year started off - are the fish biting and if yes, have you beat your personal-best yet? I am planning to beat my personal best with this reel. So keep tuned and wish me luck 😉.
We'll see each other for the next video and don't forget, keep on fishing 🤩.

Lol. Wow. You caint be a pro. Lol. Braid is used mostly but their are situations that nylon line is necessary for the time of year, type of water, temperature, type of fish you are going for and where your fishing. If I was you i would research more on the subject. You will never be compared to a pro without having a diversity of fishing equipment including different types of fishing line. Good luck.

Dear Scott, thanks for reaching out, I also wouldn’t use the term “pro” - I have to say I enjoy the term fishing enthusiast a lot more. If you have been following my channel you might have noticed the surrounding and vegetation I am in. I do not find myself fishing near structures or sharp rock so I do not need the abrasion resistance nylon offers. Furthermore, I am not targeting species like kingfish where I have to be worried about pulling the hook out due to their soft tissue in their mouth region, so the flex is also not needed. The species I am mainly targeting are trout. That means if I am not fly fishing, I tend to use my spin fishing set up with braid (more line - same breaking tension). I enjoy the direct contact and minimal flex braid gives me and I have never had a problem with its visibility.
Keep on fishing!

@christiancasts that's fine and dandy. I was just commenting to what you said. That you didn't understand why people are still using nylon and not braid and that you thought only older fishermen was the only ones still using nylon. Have a great day and good luck

[@christiancasts]

In all secrecy I have to tell you, I myself started fishing with nylon 😉. I have also noticed that there has been a trend moving towards braided fishing lines over the years. In my application, I will be sticking with braid because I find it to be the better choice.

@@christiancasts that's great. Again. I was just commenting on what you said. Have a great day
