Hey Holigay ... I read ShimaNo and stopped, is the fishing stuff like the Bike stuff in that they FORCE you to use their own inferior product when trying to upgrade your get up, like using sizes only they use being a pain in the ass for the Bike stuff ... or are the reels what they are and can't be modified ?
I don't know.............

Gonna see if I can get an oz of coke and make some sense of what you write.
Shimano used to make some excellent casting reels.
I own
7 Bantam Mag 251 SGs
a 21 SG
a 201 SG
recently - a vintage (94) Curado 201
a modern Curado 201
and am thinking hard on a vintage Jap Scorpion 201
These reels- of the 80s and 90s (except the mod Curado)
are among the best freshwater reels ever made.
The Spinning reels I have owned - all modern Sedonas are also excellent values.
I doan no nuthin about the bike division,
but it is in my Will to be buried with one particular Bantam Mag 251SG (the most beautiful reel ever made).
