    Default need a new reel


    looking at new reels, 2500 size. one is the Daiwa Legalis weighs 7.2 oz around 70 bucks
    other is the Okuma Ceymar HD 2500 size weighs 8.3 oz around 90 bucks
    Piscifun Carbon X II 2000 size not sure on the weight around 75 bucks ( 2500 size not available)
    any comments, i am favoring the Legalis

    I would look at the Sienna 2500. Can't beat the price.

    I like 5-1 reels. The Shimano Sedona at their price range works for me. I use the 1000 and 2500 Series

    Daiwa makes great reels and the Legalis is a good one. I have had the 1000 size for U/L fishing for two years now and it is very smooth and a great drag for the price.

    One of the first things fishing with LiveScope taught me, I was reeling Waaaay to fast!! Sitting 30’ off a 10’ top in 25’ water, using 1/16oz jig with 4lb mono; you have to reel lots slower than most people realize. When you do start reeling, the jig is gonna rise cause the mono is higher. I like the slower ratio reels cause of this. As I hav said before LS is a great Teacher if you will pay attention

    Might consider the new reel I got off Amazon , look at the specs and try one for 18 bucks
    It is built way better than most of the 50 to 100 dollar range stuff
    I bought 2 more after I tried one …never heard of it before, but to be sure well worth the bucks
    Sides all that it’s really pretty as well and the drag is just a dream come true .
