What would you recommend for all around panfishing, that is not a bear to manage? UL rod and spinning reel.

Even a Legalis 1000 size reel has a line capacity of 4lb test at 250 yards. The line you have recommended comes in 100m spools. Do you put a backing on?

I don't use backing. All of my reels come out of Japan and are shallow spool reels....so the reel will only hold 100 meters. What you just mentioned is why I went to all shallow spool reels.

You can get SLP works shallow spools for Diawa Reels they even come in a Diawa box. I have a couple for the Legalis. I got them from ali express. It took 3 to 4 weeks to get them delivered. Despite what the link says the 1000 series spools work just fine on a 2000 series reel.

I also have the SLP spools for the 21 Diawa Presso reels that I recently got. With the price of the Presso it allows me to just change the type of line I'm using without changing reels depending on conditions and what type of fishing I'm doing.

Thanks been thinking about trying a shallow spool for the Daiwa Regals I have.

The regal is a little different than the others. It has 2 bearing for the spool, to use a SLP spool you have to remove one of them and I think you need the black spool. It makes it a little more difficult than just swapping the spool over. I have one american regal and haven't bothered to swap the spool.

Hmmm, maybe I just leave them alone then.
