[mr.bream]

im looking at getting a 2500 size spin reel. i had in mind either a shimano stradic ci4 2500 or a daiwa luvias 2500 DA. w

what are yoour thoughts and preferences between the two?

[JIM1]

there both up there, match them up to the rod you plan to use and compair on balance and sex apeal? shimano is the bomb thou..

[mr.bream]

its going on the new gl2 dsr 821 dropshot rod. ye im a shimano fan but its something about that blue its caught my eye

I have the Stradic, nice reel, very smooth.

[boogzlen]

get the rarenium

[Kyle101]

+1 for the rarenium, same price as the bluvias and comes with a second spool...

But in all honesty i would take the daiwa

Bluvias have two spools as well. I had a ci4 and went the the blue luvi track and love it.

Well as far as i know the bluvias was going for about $350 and the rarenium was going for $250...so the better should be the luvi, but personally I would go the rarenium.

Mo's have the Bluvias for $370, and If I was going to pay that much for a reel I'd without a doubt go for the JDM twinpower.

If you can't do that then I'd go the stradic or rarenium.

Sorry i meant Biomaster ... The rarenium is still a great option and i know that the bluvias comes with 2 spools... i would still personally go the daiwa because i am a daiwa fanboy haha...

Honestly with any of these reels u cant really go wrong

I have eyed them off a couple times but at 260g it turns me off.

[stella fella]

They are a bit heavy, but I'd be more inclined to go for the C2000S. It'd be a perfect match for a new GL2 IMO.

I have a 2500 luvias and 2500 ci4 and the ci4 is so light it's ridicules for a 2500.
I personally believe the luvias is a better built reel and it's smoother.
In saying that the ci4 is awesome and I love the high gear ratio.

The new freams looks awesome for about $200 and is fairly light for a 2500.
