Megabass reels help

[Frewzy]

Hey guys

I'm looking at purchasing a megabass reel but not sure how the sizing works ?

[stella fella]

BC or spin?

[TheChief]

They don't make 2000 size as far as I'm aware. 103=1003 and 256=2506 and 258= 2508 etc...

[Frewzy]

Spin mate, I'm after a similar size to a 2000.

[stella fella]

yeah there are no 2000's. Their sizes are all the same as daiwa, just without an extra 0. Just like the Chief said. The luvito and racing condition are compact models though, so they have 2000 size bodies and a 2500 rotor and spool.

Did not know that! Anyway Frewzy what rod you wanna put one on? I've got a Caiyen 256 and would highly recommend them...

Actually racing condition may well be a full 2500 my bad. It's just the luvito that's compact. I wouldn't recommend a luvito 256 though unless you feel like tuning it. They just don't quite feel up to scratch with the rest. The luvito 103 feels more solid though.

I'd like to get a 103 Luvito. Got a particular rod in mind for one.... A Smith Bayliner CF. Have to buy the rod first though haha!

Going to wack it on a Destroyer F1-67XS Saratoga just not sure what size to put on it ?

[basscada]

Mate if you have that sort of coin, get a Stella steez or exist
I had the rc256, great looking reel but reely they are just blinged luvias
It's great to have one but they don't compare to the steez or exist

Well you definitely want a 256/258 size then anyway. I've got a Saratoga - 256 Caiyen combo. Sweet as, dunno about some of the other MB reels but mine is better than my old model Steez's and Exists!

In saying that a new 2012 Steez 2508 would be awesome on it....

[Stick Minnow]

Caiyen 2506 all the way. Awesome reel that's all I can say.

[stella fella]

Yeah just put a steez 2508 on it man. Nuff said.

[basscada]

Get a new exist mate for the same price as a mb reel
100 times better

[Frewzy]

I already have a 2506 and a hyper custom 2508 exist so I thought Id go a megabass just to see what there like plus they look awesome lol
