2021 emeraldas opinions

What's everyone's opinion on this reel? Thinking about grabbing one and was wondering if anyone has one or has any input on them?

Another question. The 21 emeraldas air fc Lt 2500s I'm trying to decipher what all the specs mean. From my understanding it is a finesse custom, light and tough frame, 2500 size with shallow spool. Can anyone tell me what's different between the finesse customs and the standard?

If it is anything like the luvias airity on the FC versions you have less drag, and they removed the magseal from the line roller. Maybe a lighter handle? Not sure,anyway the FC version should be lighter weight than the regular LT.

From Daiwa Japan...use Google translate or the equivalent...top two shown on page are noted as FC: lighter and half the drag of the non FC reels, with shallow spool, DH is double handle. Now has the Zaion monocoque frame
