JDM Spin Reels

[Draethe84]

I am looking into getting a new spin reel (2000/2004 or 2500/2506 size), I have a $400 (AUD) budget for said reel, manufacturer does not matter. I am looking for the best, and smoothest reel I can get my hands on! Thanks in advance! I have been looking at the Shimano Ci4+ stuff (Cardiff, Soare, Complex, etc...), Luvias w/ bearing Kit, Theory w/bearing Kit and the Certate.

I've heard good things about the Shimano Vanquish

You should be able to get a Certate in Aus with Aus warranty for that money.

11 Twin Power 2500S with Xship
06 Twin Power 2500Mgs (second in good shape) because it is hard to find it new!
13 Certate 2004 or 2500

Or if you can find 10 Stella 2500 or 2500S second also in good shape.

Get vanquish, u won’t regret it!

Well, I know I didn’t! Perfectly paired up with my NRX 822s DSR

Shimano Excense.

I have a 13 vanquish and the new Excense and the excense is the smoother and more defined reel.

i love my daiwa ignis type r, not sure if they are out of production now, because they seem to be pretty hard to come by on the JDM sites, but it is a great reel. i have a bunch of certates (all 2000/2004 size), a shimano TP c2000hgs, a shimano vanquish c2000hgs (first gen), a shimano complex ci4+ c2500hgs, and the ignis 2505. for general purposes the ignis is a great reel. the vanquish is second, but due to size its more of an ultralight reel, perhaps a c2500 or 2500 size would be better than the ignis

When I say vanquish—— means the 2016 one! No others can compete except Stella
