Ohioguy25 Posted April 5, 2023 Author Posted April 5, 2023 16 hours ago, Eric 26 said: @Ohioguy25 I cannot tell you for certain about the seals but I can say that it’s my understanding (JP fishing tackle news) that the Miravel is basically a Nasci made out of CI4 material, therefore it will be lighter in weight and you said you are replacing a Sahara 1000 on a 5’ish rod. Therefore I feel it will balance better for you on a lighter rod. I purchased a Stradic 1000 but I’m planning on mounting it on a 7’-0” or a 7’-1” rod myself. I do see myself getting a Miravel at some point down the road and I’m looking forward to hearing from the members on here about their experiences with the Miravel. Worth the extra $20? Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 The sealing of reels is way over rated. There are millions of Ambassaduers, penns , curados etc that are decades old and still going strong without being sealed or any other new technology. Quote
Reel Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 Yes, worth the extra 20$. I have both. The Miravel is a much ''tighter'' reel. 1 Quote
