I’m a Shimano guy and was looking to replace my Sahara 3000. Shimano had taken away the anti-reverse switch, but had added it back now.
First I went to BPS to see if I liked something more higher end (Ultegra, Spheros, Stradic). I have heard all great things about the Daiwa line so I tried them. Just dinking with them in the store, they do seem real nice. Especially as the Shimano seem to have a bit of a hitch when retrieving to close the bail. The Daiwa just snicked right over.
Anyway, my question is the Daiwa product line. What do you get when you go from the Fuego to the Procyon to the BG?
I see the Fuego is 5.3 while the Procyon is 6.2, but then the Fuego 2500 is 6.2. And the BG goes to 5.7? What else makes the differences? And does Daiwa even make a 500 or 750 size? I wasn’t seeing anything smaller than 1000 and the counter guy said he didn’t think they had ultralights. Although I’m currently looking at 2500/3000 size, I may replace my ultralight.
