Hi everyone I heve new nasci model c3000 T-knob. Has a ratio 5:0:0 it's wery nice reel,very good quality , but I upgrade ball bearing in T-knob and roll. Ezo 4x7x2,5 it's the same. I thinking this version is for europe. I bought in Poland the unofficial distribution.

For the price I would recommend as the most. I have rod phenix FX803-2 (4-10LB) I think the reel balances well rod.

My assumption is this is a European only model since the U.S. release only includes the 1000FB, 2500FB, 3000HGFB (High Gear Ratio), and 4000FB.  Is the European 3000FB the same size as the 2500FB?

No 3000 size the same size body as the 4000 but a spool is small. Ratio 5.0 is optimal for me.Wersion HG is to fast for me.This model is also in the Europen distribution. 

I just stopped into my local Cabelas and the frame on the Nasci 3000 is the same size as the Stradic FK 3000. They did not have a 2500 Nasci for me to look at it but I would assume it would share the same frame as the 3000 just like the Stradic FK does.

Sweet!  I ordered a 3000 the other day for the higher gear ratio...I wonder how it compares to a Stradic?  I also want to get a new Ci4+ 2500 for my 6'8" ML Zodias rod.  Thanks for checking out the NASCI and reporting back.

My NASCI 3000 came today and man oh man is this a smooth reel.  I can't wait to use it on my Aetos 7' Medium.  I hope it works as well as it looks and feels.  Thanks!

Old thread here, and I've the same Q.  Have they changed much since 2016? I am told a 3000 model - in addition to a faster gear ratio - comes with a bigger handle as well. So, which model would you prefer and why? Many thanks in advance!

Was I supposed to start a new thread pertaining to the same topic? Hmmm.
