I just bought this today. It's beautiful. However I'm trying to figure out how the hell to store it properly as the handle doesn't fold, or collapse. I guess I could take it off but then I risk losing the thing. Other than that it's perfect
I bought two of these fuego 2500. One started squeeking and grinding the second time out.. the other one doesn’t spool the line properly and always causes knots and tangles. I also purchased a Daiwa spinning rod that broke before I got to use it.. so I’m 3 for 3 with daiwa products that suck! Why did I ever stray away from shimano
Damn man I have a beauty daiwa bg spinning reel the 2500. Did you put the line on correctly? And me personally I have never been a fan of daiwa rods only their reels. Shimano rods are great
It does, if you hook up to a donkey. That’s why I personally prefer the Stradic which has the metal body and foot, which provided for a much more rigid feel and overall confident fishing experience.
Thank you for the video, I just notice that there are 2 versions for this reel, one is called Fuego LT 2017 and another is called Fuego LT OT, do you know any difference and any recommendation between these two? Cheers
I agree. Its a a very smoorh real and i like it more than my Stradic C14. reel. There is no play in the handle which i like a lot.
you on some crack if you think this reel better than a ci4 lol
Does the reel have the torque and power to retrieve a minnow of 34gramms or a 20 gramm jig?
Why some of the 2500 fuegos are with some big handle , i like more the samll one like on yours reel
You forgot to mention this little smooth power house has 25lbs of drag!! More than the BG!
I have two of these reels.. there is no way they put out 25lbs of drag
Its literally on the specs on their website, it’s 22lbs not 25
@@DanaRosasJr. ok good for you for clearing that up! But we’re watching details about this reel on a TH-cam video not there website
@@danielmcdaniel2917 ok and you’re misinforming people on the video, so I corrected you. You’re welcome
Well according to you ITS CLEARLY ON THERE WEBSITE so they can look it up! big deal if I was 3lbs off on the drag!! This comment I put is old AF

Look at a Fenwick hmg inshore medium light 7ft or a medium 7ft .. I just purchased another fuego 2500d-xh I like them very smooth
@@rbrown22261 yes, lol.
I had to put a stack of four shims under the spool just to raise it enough so the line doesn’t stack up crazy uneven
Thanks for the vid mate 🤘🏻
What’s the difference between the 2500 and 3000
nothing other then the 3000 has a slightly deeper spool i have multiple of both they are exactly the same size. the 2500 does have a higher gear ratio
Is the spool machined aluminum or is it carbon /graphite ?
Machined aluminium.
Nice video bud I just got this reel wondering if you can put a 15 lb braided line on it or is that 2 much
I did you’ll be fine
hey man how's this reel been holding up today? cheers
Have you used this reel for surf stripers? Wondering if the wave action and fish pulling would flex the reel stem?
It does, if you hook up to a donkey.
That’s why I personally prefer the Stradic which has the metal body and foot, which provided for a much more rigid feel and overall confident fishing experience.
Let me know pls,this reel is only right hand? And pls what is the rod model? thanks
the handle can be switch to left or right as u like.
@@danielchong2234 do you have flex Problems bei Big fisch

Probably judt the gear ratio
Daiwa Fuego Lt 2500D spool Fits Fuego Lt 2500D-xh Reel
What rod are you using with the fuego?
That’s a St Croix rod bud, not Daiwa
big difference
How’s casting?
casts really far, highly recommended
