Which spools fit the Miravel 2500S?
We have no official spool listing recorded for the 2500S, so we name no spool for it.
| Part | Listed value | Source note |
|---|---|---|
| Yumeya handle knob type | A | Shimano Japan spec table (夢屋ハンドルノブタイプ). |
| Yumeya handle type | H-11 | Shimano Japan spec table (夢屋ハンドルタイプ). |
| Yumeya screw cap type | HC-2 | Shimano Japan spec table (夢屋ハンドルスクリューキャップタイプ). |
| Yumeya reel stand type | C | Shimano Japan spec table (夢屋リールスタンドタイプ). |
We only list parts the manufacturer (or its own custom-parts brand) names. A part with similar dimensions is not treated as compatible, and a matching type is not a statement that stock spools swap between models.
Is there a US version of the Miravel 2500S?
No. Shimano North America's MIRAVEL A table lists MIR4000XGA, MIR1000A, MIRC3000HGA, MIR2500HGA and MIRC5000XGA, and none has the size code 2500S (checked 2026-10-13). The nearest listed US size is MIR2500HGA; the official values differ in gear ratio (5:1 in Japan, 6.2:1 in the US).
| Item | JDM 2500S | US MIR2500HGA | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gear ratio | 5:1 | 6.2:1 | Differs |
| Weight | 200 g (≈ 7.1 oz) | 7.1 oz | Matches after our conversion |
| Max drag | 4 kg (≈ 8.8 lb) | Not confirmed | Cannot compare (value not published) |
| Retrieve per crank | 73 cm (≈ 28.7 in) | Not confirmed | Cannot compare (value not published) |
US values are Shimano North America official figures; ≈ values are our unit conversions of the Japanese figures. Gaps within rounding (0.15 oz, 1 lb, 0.6 in) count as a match.
