I have a Diawa Geka Bijiikin MX, 18 model LT in the 2000 size. I payed about 150 for it when they first came out (with the coupon). It is mag sealed and has a nice smooth drag. Bought it for a couple reasons, first I wanted a reel I could spool up some Nanofil/Suffix Nanobraid/ Fireline Crystal in 2lb test, USA rating, and have on hand for when I needed it for stronger applications. Second, I only have the 1000 size reels in the other models I have, so I thought having a little bit bigger spool that holds a little more line could come in handy down the road....dock shooting, heavier jig heads, trolling. Last, the racing red color accents caught my eye. I have been pleased with the reel, no complaints, I just know it is definitely not a Luvias, and no way a PressoLTD. With the amount of action it will probably see, I no issues with the reel. As always, your mileage may vary, but I think your Freams will be more than sufficient for your application.
