I bought this reel because I was looking for something versatile, where I can cast a variety of lures ranging from 1/8-1 oz efficiently and far. I own a lot of Shimano stuff, but wanted to try a Daiwa reel because of all their new innovations such as TWS, SV, and braking system. Pros: -Smooth as other high end Shimano reels. -breaking system is easy to dial in (all external) -cast light lures 1/8 oz extremely well. -efficient cranking power. -drag is strong and smooth. -compact, light, and feels very comfortable in hands. Cons: -SV system is not magic, and is not backlash proof (not really a con) -not as refined as other high end Shimano reels (clutch bar, handles, line guide) wiggles more than a high end reel should. Overall, I’m satisfied with this reel. Seems like a workhorse, but only time will tell. Not selling my Shimano reels yet, but will add more Daiwa to the arsenal. Read full review

Best bait caster I have used, the one thing you cant do is force it. The spool spins forever, would be crazy with some ceramic bearings. The retrieve is very fast and smooth. It lets me to cast small jigs a very long way. with zero issues ones set for the bait. I first used some mono 10 lb on it and it cast like a dream. I am not to fond of 50 lb braid line on it, does not seem to cast as far and smooth. Still working out the bugs.

I've had a couple baitcasters over the years. I fish salmon and steel head in moderately sized tributaries around my area. I've never really sunk a lot of money into my baitcasters before, but decided I wanted a really nice reel to really sling some light weight bobber and jig set-ups This thing delivers. It's SMOOTH as butter and throws a mile.

Its made for rippin lips and fish out of cover. Just hit "BUY IT NOW." Its awesome. Like in that one movie when superman came back from the dead to put a whoppin on that one guy named something wolf.

Very nice reel, I haven't gotten a chance to fish with it yet but it's spooled and I've had the chance to pitch and skip with it. It's very smooth and when adjusted properly it seems almost impossible to back lash
