I like my Daiwa regals as well. Also use the supreme and supreme xt. Do have a carbon x II

I know i am switching gears on the topic - but does anyone own a spirex ------ i use a baitcaster 99.9% of the time. But i need that spinning reel and i cannot cast consistently with my spinning reels.

Shimano Miravel
Diawa Ballistic if on sale.

The pflueger purist reels served me well for many years. Check out the okuma ceymar reels. Very smooth, priced right and have become my favorites. Scheels stocks them.

The ceymar bait feeders are sweet for ice fishing and some open water applications. The drag and bearings are just as smooth at 0F as they are at 80F.

Keep saving them nickels… your ship will come in someday.

Doesn't anyone who uses an open face spinning reel actually ever use the anti reverse feature?

he has his drag set high and instead of relying on it he back-reels every time a fish makes a run that feels like it needs slack to prevent line breaking or the hook straightening out. It takes skill and boggles my mind watching people do it.

he never doesn’t use it
