The Daiwa Fuego-A is discontinued and therefore on sale @ a lot of places...My question is...Does anyone have one? what do they think of it?

Also, most importantly...how does a 150A (i believe 1500 is same thing) compare to Shimano Reels? They have a fuego 100A too. Is a 150A as small as a shimano 1000? or more of a 2500? I would love any help on this. I usually prefer to use bigger sized spinning reels to help w/ line twist prevention but wouldn't mind a 2500 sized. I just don't want some trout sized reel. it says it's specs are 100 yards of 6lbs line and 80 yards of 8lbs...

But ti also weighs the same amount as the 200A/2000 sized reel that tackletour reviewed when they came out a while back... Any help would be great. THANKS!!!

Send ghoti a PM if he doesn't respond here.

I got the 1500A in it a little bit ago from TW. Spool capacity wise it is about like the current 1000 shimanos. The reel will interchange with the 2000 size daiwa spools, also. I would say it is closer to the old 1500 shimanos ( hence a 1500 daiwa.) I like the reel. Very smooth and Solid. Would most definitely be a light to med light application reel.
