I know I just ordered an Abu Garcia Beast , but I’m thinking I should have put that money toward what I really wanted .
A lightweight JDM reel to become my “go to” reel .
I’m constantly searching and researching, that how I found the deal on the Beast .
With Father’s Day coming up in a few weeks and with a birthday too , I found what I think is a deal on a Daiwa 21 Presso 1000S-P .
Specs:
Gear ratio: 4.9 / Winding length (cm/handle rotation): 60 / Maximum drag force (kg): 5
Weight: 5.0 oz (145 g)
Standard winding weight: Nylon (lb-m): 2.5-100, PE (No. -m) 0.3-200
Bearing (ball/roller): 12/1
Handle Length: 1.6 inches (40 mm)

This will be what I think is a true JDM reel .
