Daiwa Legalis spinning reels discontinued?

[wahoowad]

Last winter I met a regional Daiwa rep who was doing some kind of 'demo day' type thing at one of the area's larger sporting goods stores. I really like the little Legalis LGLT1000D he showed me, but he suggested it wasn't available yet and to keep looking for it. I forgot about it all year, but just bought one off Amazon this week.

Today I went to a tackle shop and was told this reel is discontinued. Already? I'm thinking either it wasn't a new reel just hitting the market, or perhaps it is and the local shop just didn't carry them.

Any insights?

Not sure on a national level but possibly this shop is just not able to get them any longer/ doesn’t sell enough to invest the overhead required to keep them available. In the end if you enjoy the reel and it fits your purpose is all that should matter.

Not sure if they are discontinued either but Tacklewarehouse seems to have quite a few in stock.
