Daiwa Certate 2500 (JDM): All 5 Sizes – Weight, Line Capacity & Specs

Daiwa Japan's 24 Certate spec table lists 5 sizes with 2500 in the code: FC LT2500S, FC LT2500S-XH, FC LT2500S-DH, LT2500 and LT2500-H. By spool size and drag they form 3 groups: FC LT2500S and FC LT2500S-XH (5 kg max drag, 175 g); FC LT2500S-DH (5 kg max drag, 185 g); LT2500 and LT2500-H (10 kg max drag, 200 g).
