New 2000 reel choices

Ive been saving for a new reel, a 2000 one. Im looking at spending about $300-$400. Ive looked at a sol (i have the 2500 and love it) and a caldia. Im matching it with my shimano jewel 2-5kg and ill have 4lb braid on it.
Any sugestions?

Certate Finesse Custom 2506 on DohDohDohDohDohDohDohDoh at the moment for 399 would be my bet.

...and for options that don't include 'Daiwa' or 'Shimano'....

The Abu Soron STX and Pflueger Supreme MG both come highly rated.

I can't say I agree on the Supreme and I am a big fan of pflueger gear. Better off with the cheaper (and much better imo) President (silver one, not the newer XT/Maroon coloured one).

if he has the money why would he bother with an abu or pflueger, there no way near in the same league as daiwa or shimano.

anyway id go for the certate finesse, absolute bargain at the moment

Woa woa settle down.. At the lower price points Pflueger competes well with shimano and daiwa. Mid range ie: $200-$400 Pflueger can't compete in spinning reels but you go and try out a Pflueger Patriarch or Summit baitcaster, come back and say that. High end, forget it, Daiwa and Shimano are in a class of their own.
