Daiwa Exist 2500s xh replacement spool?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Daiwa Exist 2500s xh replacement spool?

Hello guys, I bought a Exist with a shallow spool from Digitaka by mistake. Will a regular Exist 2500xh spool fit it? Thanks Jim

For anyone that is interested. There isn't an alternative size spool for that model of reel (rotor size?). It's a great reel none the less. I just put it on a lighter rod. Probably 35-40 yards of 15lb. braid and the shallow spool is full.?? SO... I still needed a reel for my NRX 852s. I ordered a Vanquish. OMG.. The best spinning reel I've ever owned. $380... Get one if you can.. it's that good. It's better than the Exist IMO. I'm mostly a BC guy. Metanium"s & Steez. This reel(Vanquish) is worth talking about.

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 🔥
