Thread: JDM reels relating to panfish

I mentioned this previously, but with the excellent internals of Stradic FL plus low inertia rotor and the light weight like never before, this will likely be one heck of an ultralight reel. I am in need of two right now and I will wait...

I was just looking at one of those for my ML setup, and it looks awesome. I prefer not to support the CCP so as much as I like my Luvias I think we will have a really great option there. It’s been said that the US version is slated to be here as soon as August 8th (might be a bit optimistic though).

The US models will include a 1000 size version as well. The long stroke spool is very interesting along with new type gearing. I suspect they will sell like hotcakes if priced around $200.

I’m seeing them available for prepurchase between $220-$240.
