I was told in no uncertain terms by a respected member of another forum that the Fuego Ct was a "garbage reel" aka use it and throw it in trash when done....yet I have sold Daiwa T3 1016s in favor of the Fuego...
So I wont discount these new Daiwa reels....hell maybe I will buy one and give it a go.
