Went ahead and bought a Shimano Miravel c2000s reel to go on my St Croix Avid Panfish 6’9” UL. Really looking forward to using it as my last UL setup fell off my kayak a couple years ago. Well it didn’t fall off I just wasn’t paying attention and laid it on top of the water and away it went. Never could find it.
Funny story! It does happen!Quote:

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around a 2000 size reel being ultralight but it’s common these days. And I used to like 1500 sized reels and I don’t see them offered anymore. Looking forward to hearing of your travels.
Sounds awesome
Sounds look let me know how ya like the Shimano I have the same rod with the 1000 vanford

I’ll let y’all know how it fishes. The model reel I have coming is a 2000 compact size with a shallow reel. I don’t know enough to tell anyone if this reel is a souped up model of a 1000 reel or not. I didn’t see any braid at the marina to use with that reel. Probably should have ordered some with the reel

I took inventory last night and have a dozen rods for longlinning that have Daiwa or Shimano 2000 size reels on them. Found two more of each still in the box unused. I may have too much fishing gear. Well archery as well. I’ve got over six thousand full length feathers and enough wood arrow shafts to use most of them up. I’m getting too old to have so much stuff.
I know the feeling of too much stuff. I’ve thinned down a lot of stuff that just takes up space and doesn’t get used.
Nice to see a fellow traditional archer on here. I shoot longbows and wood arrows myself. I don't have near your inventory of archery or fishing equipment. But I thoroughly enjoy both pursuits with the equipment I have.Quote:

Good to know guys about the traditional archery. I’ve always shot traditional and on all the few sites I’m on except this one I’m trad bow. I believe it was my login name here but when I went on disability I lost my old email and couldn’t retrieve that login.
Doesn’t matter as if y’all need any archery supplies let me know.
I believe we know each other ,or at least have met at tournaments, it’s just been awhile since we’ve seen each other .Quote:

Trad Bow , how’d you like that Miravel c2000s reel ?
I just ordered one to try out but it’ll be a week before I get it. If not longer .
I’m happy with it. Still don’t have enough movement in my right shoulder to do much of anything. MRI this week and meeting the surgeon Monday week. Being I’ve had two rotator surgeries since November on the same shoulder the latest report was the shoulder will need replacing if I want to start back fishing anytime soon.
Best of luck with your shoulder .
Mine give me trouble if I shoot my bows too much .
And I’m only shooting 30# now .
