I’ve become a Daiwa reel fan , especially the shallow spool versions out of Japan .
I ordered my new reel from a popular dealer in Japan .
It’s a Daiwa LEGALIS 18 LEGALIS LT 2000S .
I went with the shallow spool 2000 size for the bigger diameter spool .
The 2000 is only 5g heavier than the 1000s , which I already have .
I’ll most likely be spooling it with 2# Mist Green P-line .
Trying to squeeze every bit of distance into my casts .
And using it to chase my favorite fish , bluegills or whatever decides to eat one of my hand ties or a Bobby Garland itty bit Swimmer .
