Luke, I haven't gotten one yet. I was going to get a 3000 or 4000 but for lighter fishing, I've always been a baitcaster man. The baitcasters covers most of my fishing applications and with the worked drags, my Calcutta Conquests are pulling 7kg which is plenty for fishing 20 - 30lb line.
The only problem is when casting a metal slug through tuna, the baitcaster is useless. You can't reel fast enough even with a DC7 Antares!
I will get a spinning reel around the 3000 size - just trying to make up my mind between two reels at the moment. Also will end up getting a 1000 for (gasp!) bream, I think.
Brandon,
Couldn't resist grabbing a new FD ? Which one did you get?
