Super User Paul Roberts Posted January 16, 2016 Super User Posted January 16, 2016 Hey, is the new Fuego casting reel the same animal as the older red one? Quote
Super User webertime Posted January 16, 2016 Super User Posted January 16, 2016 It's a Tatula without T-Wing. I'd get an original Fuego in good condition for less than a hundred before I thought about the current model. Quote

No, the old Fuego was a lesser version of Daiwa´s flagship TDZ reel, the new Fuego is far from being even a much lesser version of the Steez. Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted January 21, 2016 Author Super User Posted January 21, 2016 What can one expect to pay for an older Fuego in NIB condition? Quote
Super User new2BC4bass Posted January 21, 2016 Super User Posted January 21, 2016 They sold for $230 new. Bought mine on closeout from TW for $145. One in that condition would be worth $150....to me. Others would probably offer $125 for it. They are excellent reels....under-rated by many....but not by some of us. Lots of available parts to mod it except the 100m spool is no longer in production. Mine (3 of them) are tuned and have upgraded bearings and Carbontex drags. Don't notice much difference with the upgraded bearings, but I figured go for it since the reels were already being worked on. Bearings aren't that expensive. 2 Quote

smallie.mike Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I wish I could find a few nib fuegos! Casting and spinning, they were both awesome reels. Quote
Super User webertime Posted January 22, 2016 Super User Posted January 22, 2016 Lightly used lefty models are $60-90 on ebay. One just went for $61. Quote

Do they have a handle, spool, bearings, gears, etc.? My stupid computer can only find the new ones on ebay. They start at about $95. Definitely can't be anywhere near as good as the older $230 model. A lightly used older Fuego at those prices is a no brainer. Would never consider going that low for mine. I'd give them to a deserving person before I'd sell them for $90 or less. Quote

Super User webertime Posted January 22, 2016 Super User Posted January 22, 2016 $78 for this one. Spooled with Shooter. 1 Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted January 22, 2016 Super User Posted January 22, 2016 NIB condition Fuego's are getting harder to find! I check ebay almost every day for these and it's been awhile since I've seen really nice ones. They do occasionally show up and usually bring over $120. Some have gone for under $90 this winter but expect prices to climb again real soon. Quote
