Comments: Purchased 2 of these reels. One is worse than the other but one of them is un-usable. The drag works when I leave the dock then stops working (just free spins) 20 minutes into fishing. Throw in the back of the boat, check it periodically and it starts working again hours later. The most UNRELIABLE reel I have ever owned.

Comments: Girlfriend picked up the 2500 for my anniversary gift and it's easily become my new favorite finesse reel. Paired with a med fast 6th Sense MFer rod I can't be happier. In the past month I've landed a handful of angry 5lbers and dozens of dinks and this reel is still performing as great as the day I got it. Also the drag on this reel has already outperformed some of my higher end reels that I won't go and name lol.

Comments: I'm experiencing a hard knocking at the top of the oscillation that is very distracting. Can't even tell if I'm getting bites or if it's the stupid reel. Took it apart and everything is as it should be by visual inspection. Called Shimano and they want me to mail in an essentially new reel, and pay shipping both ways because it's just outside the 30 day period where they cover shipping (ND ice kept me from using it until I was outside the 30 day window...). Super displeased!

Comments: Knocking sensation when the spool reverses course. Pretty disappointing that a brand new reel of this price is giving me trouble.

Comments: This one is a homerun from Shimano. I love my Stradics and Vanfords but for about half the price the Miravel is hard to beat. Fairly lightweight, buttery smooth drag, and just a pleasure to fish with. Bought a 2500 and paired it with a Dobyns Kaden 712 medium light spinning rod. Very versatile finesse combo, wacky rigs, drop shot, neko rigs, shaky heads, etc. Can't recommend this reel enough.

Comments: This reel is a $200+ reel for a sub $150 price. I like it better than my Stradic. Pairs well with a Medium Light rod. Go to for a Dropshot or Ned Rigs.
