Had a chance to play with the new Daiwa Luvias FC LT 2000S for a couple of days. Great little reel, exceptionally light and smooth. I think I will also be getting a larger size for my light tackle. I must also say it looks amazing on a Yamaga Blanks BC TZ/ Nano rod. It does have quite a bit of resistance to rotation when compared to Shimano Soare C2000SS PG (which also has an amazingly shallow spool). The Soare starts and stops effortlessly and therefore is perfect for my jig head fishing needs. I will stick with Shimano's Stradic derivatives in that department or try the new Twinpower, but the Luvias is certainly a very worthy purchase otherwise.
