    Any Vanquish owners out there? What are your thoughts on the reel? Looking again at the 1000s version of this reel for my Lunakia and Tict RF.

    A guy I talk to some on Facebook about JDM gear is all about the Vanquish. He has lots of high end Daiwa reels too. I did buy the 500 size Shimano the other day but mostly because Daiwa doesn’t offer a JDM reel that size. I am sure likely no binding issues with any of these high end JDM Shimanos but it sure put a bad taste in my mouth.

    I bought one a couple years ago, and I used it very little, i fish in the brush a lot and it just doesn't make sense to be using light line/rods. But after finding some suspended fish, I paired the vanquish with the rocking finesse, and some 2.5lb varias. What a blast. Casts are smooth and accurate, everything just feels nice. I have mostly daiwas, including the airity, and St croix panfish elites. Both have their purpose. I'm sure if I spooled the airity with similar line and rod it would feel great also, but for now I think that combo is a great match. If they weren't so damn expensive I'd like to try the high speed version.

    We are only talking crappie here I think. Doesn't take an expensive reel to bring one in. Found a rod I liked that came as a package, Shakespere rod and reel. Reel was alright but wanted the rod for another reel. Then I had a reel with no rod again so had an excuse to buy another rod! Strange how that works. The rod and reel together was something like $20 or maybe $25, didn't break the bank! But inexpensive as it was, it works well, both the inexpensive rod and reel! If I get a few years out of it I figure it was well worth the money!

    Don’t matter if you talking crappie…bluegill…trout, any fish. We all know you don’t need a Japanese made reel to catch fish. But this is a thread about reels sold in the Japanese Domestic Market. I tell folks all the time on my channel you don’t need this gear to catch fish…but for those that want to purchase this gear it’s nice to have a resource to go to for one to find info on them.

    Regards

    Watch out for that rabbit hole it's VERY deep. Randy sent me down it about 3 years ago . Just ordered my 9th rod I think, the new 7'3" slow taper special with the 2022 exist. Life is good as my friend say's and getting better. Scott
