Jake7 10 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Thinking about buying a Daiwa Sol 2000, just wondering what everyone thinks of them, any help would be appreciated Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jagger 24 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Jake have a good look at the specs mate, you'll find the 2500 has a much larger drag capacity and holds a lot more line( bugger all size difference to ). Can't beat them though, great reels and I know one thing.... I WILL buy them again and again !!!Best test I have out them through was at Browns earlier this year... skull dragged 2kg salmon after salmon and never skipped a beat !! And when I say skull dragged... there was seals chasing the salmon every other fish ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thefunkychicken 0 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I've only got a Sol 2000 with 10lb braid on it. They're bloody great in my opinion, the 4000 would be great for snapper or on a medium weight neach rod.They're a few bucks to buy but well well worth it I reckon.Cheers.

Peelin 0 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 I've got a 3000 and it is sweet 1 spool of 3kg braid for light work and 1 spool of 6kg for heavier. would fish 10kg with ease I reckon if you wanted to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
