Thread: Size 500 reels

Piscifun obviously does a better job of utilizing slave labor.

It's not about labor. I'd pay more for the Diawa spool. They don't appear to offer it, even though they put them on the 1000S. My guess is that they don't see a large enough market in the USA.

As for OP's question, 1000 is as low as I go these days. Most of my reels are 2000 size.

The one linked is the Legalis LT, which has 5+1 bearings. The Regal LT is 9+1. I think Daiwa is missing the crappie boat in the US market.

I can buy a shallow spool for my 50 year old Mitchell 309 but not my brand new Diawa Legalis.

The Mitchells were ahead of their time.
