JDM Reel Thread #2

[Just_Bass]

Interesting....I like the pics and spool size comparisons. It is a good looking reel and should be the lightest of the two shown. Hard to beat the Daiwas in this price range. Looking forward to field test reports from your side of the country.

Oh I tested it good. I think Vanford should consider the same class as Ballistic FW about the same weight and features. The Vanford feel really solid, quite but not as smooth as Ballistic FW (might take more time to break in). At first I was really disappointed on the spool size since I expected it to be taller spool than Daiwa. Surprisingly the new spool lip on Vanford really help in casting department. I spooled Vanford with 4lb Nanofil pair with Crostage 7’3 Mebaru casting 1/16oz roadrunner marabou.
