had a look after seeing this thread it is tempting.

why cant they discount the 2.25's......

In reply to Post #18
The 2.25s must be the 'relaunch' range and not the Mk1,so to speak.

Probably changed the rings.. lovely rods , but I'm not a fan of rust

Must be what the 'gold' stands for

Now I've got them can't decide what reels .I have put my shim 10000 x aero on them they just don't balance right to heavy. Like the emblem br 25a but don't like the spare spool price, emcast 25a seems a lot of reel for the money? Any suggestions feedback appreciated.

My son put 10,000 Baitrunners on his but I have four emcast 25a's if he needs a couple.

In reply to Post #22
I'm thinking the emcast 25a will balance better.

Same thought this side... I put my tournies on and promptly took them off again! Spoilt the balance of the rod.

Thinking ultegra 5500 ci4s might be worth a look. Not cheap though.

Just bought 3 daiwa emcast 25a to go on these - couldn't justify the price of the other small reels on the market- would of loved the emblem br25a but not prepared to pay £50 for a spare spool!

Emcast 25a are great reels for the money and I preferred them to my castizms as not so bling and no quick drag.

Don't do quick drags - really don't like them
