R E G I C Y C L E Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 I'm looking for a new light reel, 2000 size, mostly to be used in fresh water with the occasional salty foray. Had my heart set on the TD Black, but this morning I came across the Freams, which retails around $80 less, and still seems to have well sorted specs. Made myself question what extra I would get for that $80, and would it be worth the premium. Any input would be appreciated, especially if anyone has had experience with either or both of these reels. For reference, I'll be pairing this with a 6' 1-3kg Arrowz. I'm coming from a 3 year old Bream Raider 722 1-4kg (which has been through hell and survived - great rod) with a newer Aird LT2000 reel, so I'm confident whatever I end up going with will be a big upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Shimno Nasci. I use among other reels a Dawia 21 Legalis. Very light reel. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R E G I C Y C L E Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 Cheers Rebel The Nasci is a nice looking reel, I'd just be concerned about how well it balances on such a light outfit. Legalis is interesting though, especially at that price point... will check it out further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFoosh Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Any of the new MQ series from Daiwa. I upgraded a lot of my reels to the Caldia and haven't looked back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R E G I C Y C L E Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Thanks for the reply. I'm leaning towards the TD now. Tried a mates Revelry the other day and loved it.. the MQ models seem like a great design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R E G I C Y C L E Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Well, I ended up with the TD. Feels like a fantastic little reel in the hand, and I can't wait to hear the drag sing on the water. Super well balanced on my new Skinny Water Arrowz. Snowies again this week... bring it on! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
