I'm looking for a new spinning reel and the cabelas verano piqued my interest. Anyone use/have one, what are your thoughts on it?

I have the 2500. Daiwa quality.  Smooth reel,sweet drag, .  Good looking too.  Whats not to like?  The 2500 size is a bit smaller (and lighter) than my other Daiwa/Cabela's spinning reels of the same size.  I like it!  Perfect finesse reel for my Slider fishing.

I didn't care for it a whole lot. I wish it had a screw-in handle to tighten up the backplay some. It also has bushings in the line roller which led to some quick line twist problems. It felt nice enough and looked fantastic (looks especially good on my Tatula rod), but I felt like they cut some corners that could have made it a much better reel. I returned mine to Cabelas after using it a couple times and having so many issues with line twist. Ended up putting the money towards a Stradic CI4+ and haven't had a single issue since.
