    Default Spinning reel recommendations


    Guys, I'm sure this has been beat to death but I'm wanting to purchase a new 1000 size spinning reel for a SC 64LF Panfish series rod to be used for crappie and bluegill. I'm a Daiwa/Shimano guy. Between the Sahara, Legalis, Fuego, and Miravel what would you choose? I realize the Miravel is around $ 130 and the other reels are in the $ 80-100.00 range so the Miravel worth the extra $$?? What do you recommend based on experience? Thanks in advance, Randy.

    Personally, I don't think you could go wrong with any of those choices. Get what you like. I personally have a Sahara, Miravel and Fuego. All are good reels. I still use my Pfluegers most of the time.

    I switched to Piscifun 1000 size and will only buy these moving forward. Pick one up off amazon if you dont like it you can always return but I think you will.

    Get the DAIWA LEGALIS LT 23 2000S-P size. Same weight as the 1000 size and has a lower 4.8:1 gear ratio. Very nice reel.

    I have a Legalis in the 2500 size and I am going to get a 2000 size in a couple months. They appear to be very good little reels.

    If you can find a Diawa Regal, grab it. I have four and like them as much or better than my Presidents....

    I would recommend a Daiwa Legalis - very nice for the money, and pair it with the Leland TCB for ultralight fun. Balances great and fishes well.

    I prefer 2500 series reels and purchased four Daiwa Revros LT's last fall. I've fished all winter with them and have zero complaints, good reels for the money IMO.
