Okay, I bought this reel after many years of detesting Daiwa reels. I bought it new at a deep discount and figured that it can't be all bad for the money I paid. I was right. In fact, after using this reel for a couple years, it is fantastic. I have it strapped to a Daiwa 7ft, one piece, medium/light graphite rod (a cheapie) and spooled it with 8lb test Fireline. I have caught Spanish Mackerals up to 4 lbs, Dolphin (mahi-mahi) up to 10 lbs and countless largemouth bass, Mayan Cichlids, Bluegills and other panfish. This reel has changed my opinion on Daiwa reels. It has become my light tackle, go-to rod/reel combo. I will add that if you choose to use the 'super-lines' such as Powerpro, Fireline, Spiderwire or any others, be sure to match it with comparable mono backing to eliminate the packed line spinning around the arbor of your reel. Great reel though... Knowing what i do now, I would have paid retail price for it.

My name is Ian Henson, i fish at private lakes and pits in buckinghamshire, we have possibley
some of the best fishing there is with regards
to carp, barbel, tench, catfish, bream, roach
etc, thats why i use this reel, ok it isnt the
big powerfull carp reel that most carp fisherman have but i would say its is simply superb for
big fish, and all other tasks you find your self in. Balance and strengh all included, buy one, buy two, i have and i would buy another.The reel
does a great job with powerfull fish, and casts
so smoothley even with light tackle, a must for
float fishing and river, especialy barbel. |
