Product reviews of Daiwa Fuego CT Baitcasting Reel FGCT100HSL, Black/Red

baltasar francisco : One Star

Was exited to use ,on day piror of use the line guide instantly broke

Wesley Kennedy : Fantastic reel and top of it's class under $150

7.3:1 LH

I have been blown away by the quality of this reel. I was expecting a reel in the same class as the Abu Garcia Revo X, Shimano SLX or Lew's Speed Spool LFS, but instead, I would put this closer to my Daiwa Tatula 100, Shimano Curado K and 13 Fishing Inception reels. Very smooth, casts very well with 30-50lb braid and 12-17lb Fluro.

Only minor issue is that I tend to keep the magnetic brakes at around 10 even with a 1/2oz swimjig. (minimal thumb braking) Although this does not hamper the distance at all, I still would prefer a bit wider range to work with. Consistently, I am able to cast 10+ yards further than my other $100 class reels and within 5 yards of my $150+ class reels.

Currently running these reels on Dobyns Fury, Fenwick HMG, Shimano SLX and 13 Fishing Fate rods and will be adding more to my arsenal soon.

Christian : Extremely good for the money

Compared to my old laguna its AMAZING granted my laguna ct is years old but its a tank and i suspect the durability of the Fuego to be similar if not better. The magforce brakes are way smaller than my laguna and will take some getting used to. Its bigger than the slx but nothing extreme and is still palmable. I paired it with the daiwa trigger rod and some 12lb flouro and its extremely versital

Victor : I love how it has a metal frame

I love how it has a metal frame. It makes the reel feel expensive and well built compared to other cheap reels they sell here on Amazon.

Ryan R. : Buy again

Fast reel, very smooth

Brian Lawrence : great reel!

Up until this spring I have been using a 5500 Abu since 1988... then I get this real, in left hand, which is the way to go for a right handed caster. my first trip out with this reel I caught my biggest bass to date, and the reel performed flawlessly. Casting is pretty easy to get adjust to not have any(many) backlashes, and distance is pretty impressive. To be completely transparent though, I bought a Abu Garcia Black Max and its only fractionally a lesser reel. If you want to save some money its not a bad way to go. Also, If you're considering the comparable Shimano, don't....its a good reel but not as adjustable for casting, and is inferior to the Daiwa. not a bad reel but just not as good for the money, IMO.
