Thread: Ordered another Daiwa Revros LT 1000s

No pressure. I’m at that age too. The Regal is usually in the 60 to 75$ range and I have a few of them. I don’t know of a better reel for that money. If I could find one with a shallow spool that didn’t cost me the farm I’d be a happy boy. I’ll keep sniffing around and find something that makes me pull the trigger one day.

That would be a Daiwa Revros LT . Except it’s not light compared to other reels out there . Light weight cost .

Thanks Chaser. That’s one of the needs for me is light weight and lots of bearings too (within reason). The Daiwa Capricorn I speak of is twenty years old and won’t last forever and has a great personality. Everyone that picks it up and makes a cast says “Wow”. I want another that feels like that with the newer technology.

My uncle gifted me a couple capricorns and they are incredibly well built and smooth. Only problem is finding parts when they wear out. I even bought a 2500 on ebay I like them so much.

I also have been buying Regal LTs when I find them at decent prices. The Revros 2000 has a much lower line capacity than the Regal 2000. Not sure why or if spools interchange. I don't really like the Revros 2000 for that reason, not enough line on it and I have to fill it so full that wind knots are terrible.
