Will it pa ir good with my BnM tcb rod?
I have a tss, the predecessor to the TCB and it works very well with the 2000s Daiwa regal I have on it. Mine is a casting machine.
I have 2 TCB rods with the 2023 legalis (jdm version size 2000) on each. It’s a nice combo that also matches in color really well.

That's the ones that I'm thinking about on DIDITAKA FOR 81.00
Yes, that's an excellent pairing!
I have a Legalis LT2000s-p (shallow spool) on my TCB and haven't switched the reel on the rod since I first tried it out. The rod is beefier than all of my other ULs, making it well-suited to the slightly larger reel. Line I currently have on is 4lb. XBraid Finesse with a 4lb. Trout SOS leader. I may switch out the braid, however -- as much as I like the Xbraid Finesse, it's so delicate it frays when catching on tiny, tiny things...like rough skin on my fingers.
With that said, the rod/reel/light braid combo casts like a dream and is pretty sensitive. I can sling 1/64oz jigs 50 feet or so if there isn't any wind. The rod can handle larger fish, too, and gives me more muscle vs. other ULs and XULs. Overall, it's a mainstay in my kayak.
That's great news thank you. I like both my rods TCB and TSS.
Same with mine Frank. I can throw the light stuff but usually gets a little heavier duty and doesn’t complain. Great beetle spin rod.
The Legalis 1000D also pairs up with the TCB very nicely. 2 lb test on small streams/creeks it is a pleasure to cast and fish.

Just a word of thanks to all who responded to this post your input really helped. My reel is on the way.
I got my diawa lt2000s today it's the smoothest feel I've ever turned a handle on. I think it's going to be a pleasure to use.
As much as I like the Legalis LT2000s-p, I'm not quite as thrilled with the Legalis LT1000D. Don't get me wrong, it's still a fine reel -- it's just lacking in a certain kind of "tight and smooth" feel that the 2000 has.
Chalk it up to Japan-sourced (LT2000s-p) vs. domestic (LT1000D), maybe? The 1000 came as a part of a Legalis combo (the Legalis UL rod is actually a pretty solid all-rounder) I purchased when I got back into fishing a bit over a year ago. The 2000 was from Amazon Japan, and somebody (maybe here?) had posted about those LT2000s-p's being marked down to $63...which I couldn't resist. The 1000 is also blue and silver vs. black and gold on the 2000 model.
I have the blue and silver ltd 1000 domestic as well and it’s not comparable to the Japan lt2000s-p. Definitely difference than day light and dark to me !
This is the first shallow spool i have ever owned. I went with the 2000 because of the spool size. I'm not to sure about putting mono backing on a shallow spool though. Advice is welcome on backing for it.
I definitely use cheap mono for backing line when using braid. This is mainly because I tend to use really fine braid -- Nanobraid 2lb or Xbraid Finesse 4lb -- and only 50 yards or so, at that. Between the fine braid and relatively short length used, it hardly takes up any space on the spool.Quote:

In hindsight I should have just let it run on the backing line (6lb. mono) since my weak points were the lure and leader knots.
The short length of braid I use is mainly me just being a cheapskate and trying to stretch a 100m spool across two reels. That, and my casts top off at maybe 70-80 feet using a "heavy" (for UL, at least) solid metal lure like a 1.5g spoon.
I have tied my braid directly to the spool, which had a rubber area in the middle of the spool. If traction to the spool is needed I’ve also taken a piece of electric tape and stuck it to a piece of glass and cut it in half lengthways. I then put only one layer of the split tape along the middle of the spool and never had an issue and if you don’t stretch the tape it will look the same when you change line in a few years.Quote:
