    Default New reel day


    The FedEx driver just dropped off my newest addition to the stable .
    I ordered from Digitaka on Sunday . Unbelievable how quick they get stuff to you when it’s in stock .
    The reel is a Shimano 21 Soare XR c2000sspg . I’d been wanting the larger reel ever since I bought the Soare XR 500sspg .
    This is a slow retrieve reel , which I prefer . 4.6-1 . Weight is 155g .
    Small reel for a 2000 size reel and definitely has a small , short handle .
    Very smooth after a few drops of Lucas reel oil .
    Pictures tomorrow after I get it officially slimed .

    I’m looking forward to the pics. Hope the reel is what you were looking for. I’m pretty happy with my latest.
