Re: Daiwa Exist 2500s xh replacement spool?

The Vanquish is a sweet reel but IMO I think the
Exist is the better reel.

I have the Stella also and its smoother then both.


Stella, Exist and then Vanquish.

All 3 are 🔥

Re: MBR782C GLX?

Got the 782 glx and ended up with a Aldebaran bfs on it. What an amazing combo, the Aldebaran also matches the glx blank...its 🔥 I had a chance to handle both the 782 and 802 and I'm not sure how gloomis came up with their lure weight Ratings, but they should be changed between these two rods, the 7...

Re: MBR782C GLX?

I have the 782 conquest spinning rod, agreed with the above.

I noticed the 802 glx has a lower lure rating but have heard its stiffer than the 782 glx???

Re: NRX+ 901S SJR - What are you main uses for this rod? Comparisons to other rods.

The 901s is one of my favorite rods, I use mine for drop shotting and its works amazing, I also use it for what's been mentioned above.

Hair jigs, ned rigs and spybaits.

I have the stella on mine and the balance is perfect.

MBR782C GLX?

Is the 782c lighter in power vs the 842c?

I have the 842c with a metanium and use it primarily for 110jr's.

I ordered a 782c and hoping it will cast smaller
Jerkbaits in the 1/8 to 1/4oz, most the time 1/4oz

The reel used will be a Curado BFS.

Re: Your most versatile rod?

When I'm shore fishing for a few hours and may have to throw a few things to figure out what the fish want, there's no question what casting rod is coming with me. I'm grabbing my NRX+ 903c. Absolutely killer rod that can really throw anything. So stoked this rod came to the NRX+ lineup. In additio...

If only they took put that grip design on the P5s... only thing keeping me from buying a P5 Addermine.
My Windbuster is a great rod, but the grip just doesn't make sense to me.
Agreed, the older model handles where perfect.

Re: 22 Stella Question - My experience disappointing so far

I use my stella on a 901 nrx, it makes for a very
Nice balanced combo.

The stella was just to heavy for my conquest 782 spinning rod.

I do have a Vanquish 23 2500hg that should be here Monday.

Re: 2023 Vanquish

The Stella I just bought performed like a pile of crap. It's going back to Japanlureshop tomorrow actually... just got it boxed up and they are paying for shipping back. Told them if the other 2500S reels in stock feel like that too they better not send it back. Told them maybe I'll try a smaller v...

Re: 2023 Vanquish

How does the Vanquish compare to the Exist? In terms of smoothness, power and casting? I have the exist 22 3000H and the stella fk 2500HG. The rod I'm using is the conquest 782 for smaller jerkbaits and the stella is a bit heavy on that combo, the exist is perfect but it makes me feel dirty putting ...

Re: 22 Stella Question - My experience disappointing so far

I would keep using it or send it in, I know mine took a
Bit of time to loosen up a bit, it shouldn't have the resistance that you are describing though.

Magseal bearing question

Is there a way to remove the mag seals on the Daiwa exist 22?
Also is there a size of bearing from HedgeHog or zpi to replace the magseal bearings?

Its the 2500 size, I'm not sure of the bearing sizes.

Thanks for any info.
