Diawa Presso 21 LT 1000S-P

[gillchaser999]

Well it took two weeks to get here , where Digitaka got my Shimano Soare XR only took about three days .
But at least it didn’t get cancelled like my last order from Amazon Japan .
First impression, it’s a small reel . More like a 750 size reel .
Nice and light weight and once I added a few drops of Lucas reel oil to the main shaft and to the bearings on both sides of the handle shaft , this little reel turned smoother than warm butter .
I spooled it up with Daiwa J Braid X8 and mounted it on a 5’ St Croix Triumph ULM and took it outside for some test casts up and down the driveway.
Casting a .4g micro spinner I got 42-43’ consistently . I’ll most likely get a few more feet with a 5’6” SC Premier or Avid when I try them , but this rod was empty at the moment.
And I thought it matched up nicely .
Looking forward to a proper sliming soon . And a comparison to the Soare XR .
My reel collection is complete!
( until the new Daiwa Fuego comes out in a couple of months)
