I’ve had my eye on this reel, also. Love the look of it and have had good experiences with the Daiwa LT reels I own so far. I don’t own any high end reels, but for me, the Regal, Legalis, and Revros are good little budget-friendly reels for the money. Thankful to have them.

The Exceler looks to be super lightweight, too… which is awesome. I’ve currently got a 6’ St. Croix Panfish Series rod with a little Shimano Nasci 500 on it. Having a lot of fun with it and may buy another one of these rods. If I do, the Exceler 1000 is what I’d love to pair it with.
