Daiwa Presso

[Pistol_Creek]

I finally got my hands on a Daiwa Presso rod. 5’6 UL. So pretty!

For now, I have paired it with a Daiwa Revros LT 1000 reel. The gold accents match the Presso nicely. I spooled it up with some 2lb Sufix hi-vis mono in Neon Orange to try to match the orange/red bands on the Presso. What do you guys think?

I am thinking about ordering a Daiwa QZ 750 as a permanent reel for this rod. I love that the QZ is black and has the cork knob on the handle. Anyone have this reel? Your thoughts on it? Ever paired it with a Presso?

The QZ 750 has less bearings, but weighs a tad less than the Revros or Regal LT. It also has a slower retrieval rate… which I really like. When crappie fishing with Trout Magnets or Road Runners in Winter. I think the slower reels sometimes help with sluggish crappie. Just a theory, though. I have enjoyed using a Pflueger Trion 20b for that exact reason, but want to stick with a Daiwa reel for the Presso.
