I just picked up the above spinning reel in a 6:2:1 gear ratio to mate with a Dobyns Sierra 703 spinning rod for Senkos , Flukes , Ned Rigs , etc. For only $60 it comes with a whopping 22 lbs. of drag (if required) and is very smooth . In time , I will probably pick up a couple of more - great reel and value for the price : https://daiwa.us/collections/spin-reels/products/regal-lt .
Daiwa always did make a good reel, they are a good choice.

I have an old Daiwa Regal 2500 spinning reel that is over 20 yrs. old and still alive and kicking.
IMHO the Regals have always been a solid choice for a good reel at a great price.!

I, like ST had Regals way back when. Solid work horse reels and great value. Great choice.
Thanks for the review. I have been using their Fuego and Excelor spinning reels and like them. If I decide I need another, I may try the Regal. I like that they have made them lighter.
