I own the 2500 and I love the design
September 10, 2020
First week out surf fishing I shot the bearings.
More bearings are on the way from third party.
The 2500 I own I use primarily for the waterway and it takes a dip and it hasn’t given me a problem.
Surf fishing is just rough on reels and bearings are not cheap.
I love these reels.

Good reel for a cheap price of admission but not built to last
September 10, 2020
I have fished this reel in the surf almost every day for the past month and a half. It has the typical shimano qualities and is very smooth. I have lost count on how many stripers I have caught with this reel and it has handled them well. For someone who fishes only a few times a month this is a great reel for the price. If you're a surf rat like me then you need an upgrade in the durability department
ProsGreat price,. Smooth retrieve. Good drag system
ConsNot sealed and not ideal for frequent use in prime surf conditions

Great spinner for inshore fluking
September 1, 2020
Couldn't resist picking this Shimano reel up for some inshore reef fluking
ProsShimano quality at an affordable price with a smooth action and great drag
ConsLine capacity could be a bit more but isn't a deal breaker for inshore action

Nexave fishing
July 20, 2020
Fished the Chesapeake bay twice this summer with shimano nexave 5000 fe reel performance great both times, I was amazed in the way this reel brings fish to the boat, I fish with double leader hook setup, catching two fish at time, this reel has the power and speed to land fish as well and better than most reels I have used. Highly recommended purchasing this, thanks tackle direct.
ProsReel is power, reel has amazing speed, and is lightweight for its class
ConsNone at all

Good reel
May 16, 2020
It's a very good reel in the price range of $39.99. This reel have a 19lbs of drag, very good for fishing in the mangrove areas, at short distance.
But you need to understand that is a compact reel concept.
In the range of the Daiwa Regal 3500 5iA.
