One of the best quality/price

This reel maybe is not the smoothest of the market, however its brake can stop 20 pound stripers easily. By being so light gives an extra to pair it with light tackles, with the security of having a 3000 spool with you. Definitely an excellent choice

I've caught all of my personal best using this reel (2500) last year (2021) paired with a 7' air-dx. I caught a 17 lb striper, 13 lb hybrid striped bass, and multiple blue cats over the 15 lbs. Daiwa really meant light and tough when they said it. Only knock on it was the uneven spooling when I first got it (top heavy). I had to add 2 of the plastic washers that came with it to… read more level it out.

Great value light reel

JimJ

I bought a 4000 in new condition from a friend. Its been a good reel after a good bit of use for a year. Ive used it on a 7 medium rod for plugging stripers from the boat and in Florida on a 9 light surf rod for blues and Spanish mackerel from the beach. The reel is the lightest I have for its size, very smooth after a year of use, great free spin and a pleasure to fish.… read more My only disappointment is that when under load from bigger fish you feel flex in the body of the reel that you dont feel with a metal body reel. But the polymer body is what makes it so light.

I love this reel, it is very strong, light, and smooth and is MAGSEALED. I have the 4000 paired with a 7'0'' Diawa TD SOL Inshore rod running 20lb Diawa jbraid and it is perfect for throwing lures all day long.

On the west coast it handles stripped bass and halibut with ease. A huge 60lb stingray took a swimbait and the Fuego was able to haul it in. Surprisingly strong… read more reel.

Traveled to Florida with the Fuego and it handled a 35" snook with ease, as well as a 28" red. Also caught some black seabass and sheepshead under docks with it.

This reel does it all.

I got the 2500D-XH with a Fuego rod. The reel performed very well and caught three 3lb. bass with no problem. The reel is very smooth, cast great, and has great drag. If you're in the market for a spinning reel that is decently price this is your best option.

Outstanding value

Alex

I use this reel for both freshwater bass fishing and surf fishing. Constantly impressed that it retails for under $100. The reel is very lightweight for the price and I love that it comes in a 6.2:1 gear ratio. The magseal seems to work well, I've only rinsed this reel off after surf fishing and have no problems with the internals.

Great reel and favorite inshore in that price range

Don

The fuego LT is a really smooth n nice all around reel . I think it's the best $100 reel for inshore /freshwater fishing. Drag strength not great so I'd move up to the ballistic for that . Still a great reel and I fish with 3-4 all the time.

Would the Daiwa Fuego 3000 pair nicely with the shimano teramar north east inshore spinning rod medium heavy 12-25lb test line 1/2-2 ounces ? For bucktailing and some small plugs? I wonâ™t be using anything over 3 ounces.

The Daiwa Fuego 3000 LT is a bit light for the style of fishing your doing. I would advise a Daiwa BG 3000 paired with the NE Teramar MH casting bucktails in that size range.

Bengy,The Fuego LT 4000 will work for the type of fishing that you are doing. I would usually like a bit bigger reel on a 13ft rod, but since you said that it is ultralight rod the 4000 should fit. Please let us know if there is anything else we can
