Diawa Legalis LT size help

[LEWITH]

Looking to buy a Diawa Legalis LT with my 7’1” medium spinning rod. I’ll be using it for jigworm and dropshot primarily with s little wacky rig. What size do you recommend 2500 or 3000?

 

thanks

The main difference is the spool size.

The really weight almost the same.

Also the 3000 has the T knob not the I knob.

Personally I prefer the T knob but alot of people like the I knob better.

I think the 2500 model is a tad lighter and has an higher ratio so I'd go with it.

I have a Fuego 2500 and 3000LT. Actually prefer the 3000 with the slower ratio. The reel feels a bit freer. IPT is still over 30" because of the larger spool.

The 2500 is the only one available with the higher gear ratio.

I've got two of the 3000s.  Love em.  It is the slower gear ratio but I've had no problems keeping them hooked or catching up to a fish that swims towards me while fighting it.
