New reel day

The FedEx driver just dropped off my newest addition to the stable .
I ordered from Digitaka on Sunday . Unbelievable how quick they get stuff to you when it’s in stock .
The reel is a Shimano 21 Soare XR c2000sspg . I’d been wanting the larger reel ever since I bought the Soare XR 500sspg .
This is a slow retrieve reel , which I prefer . 4.6-1 . Weight is 155g .
Small reel for a 2000 size reel and definitely has a small , short handle .
Very smooth after a few drops of Lucas reel oil .
Pictures tomorrow after I get it officially slimed .

I’m looking forward to the pics. Hope the reel is what you were looking for. I’m pretty happy with my latest.

One day late for Christmas in July. Get it slimed up and give us some feedback.

Here’s the specs .
Hand Retrieve: Right or Left-Handed
Weight: 155 g
Gear Ratio: 4.6 : 1
Max Drag: 3 kg
Line Retrieve/Crank: 62 cm
Ball/Roller Bearings: 9 / 1
Mono Line Capacity(mm-m): 2.5 - 140, 3 - 100, 4 - 90
FC Line Capacity(lb-m): 2 - 170, 3 - 95, 4 - 75
Braided Line Capacity(PE-m): 0.6 - 140, 0.8 - 100, 1 - 70

Oh yeah , I almost forgot.
I blame this one on Victor from his I_Fish YouTube channel .
He claims it’s the sexiest reel Shimano has made . LOL !

Congrats on new reel.

Paired it with a 5’6” Daiwa Trout X XUL . Daiwa X8 J Braid, .003” , 1.5# test diameter . 4# Floroclear leader .

Very sharp looking combo, Gill! Congrats!

Looks good!

Good looking setup. Now to add some fish to the pictures. :ThumbsUp:ThumbsUp

Really nice looking tackle setup. Yes, add fish for the ideal pics.

I’m liking the looks of that rod. I don’t need any more, for now, but I’ve already looked it up and it’s affordable too. Have fun with it, sounds like they’ll work well together.

Tim , it is an inexpensive nice, fun rod.
It has the action and feel I like for tossing lightweight lures .
A fast action tip that shoots the lures out and a lower section that bends to add to the fun when you have a fish on .
It comes in a six foot version also , which I also have , but I prefer the 5’6”.
The longer one starts to get a little noodllely .
I grabbed mine when they were on sale during the holiday season.
