I'm 57. Freaking love these reels. Bought my first one used in mid 80's. I just recently sold my penn Torque-7G to buy more, 2-ss1300 and 2-ss2600. Will be getting Ss-1600 soon. I always have used heavier reels than needed. The SS series is so well built with tank like qualities and the ability to stop fish much larger than a reel of these sizes, theirs no need to go bigger or more expensive. I still own 5 shimano baitrunners ( collecting dust ). These are just more fun. Buy these reels you not only won't be disappointed you will be thrilled. Puts the wow into all your fishing !! Not just in the big fish !!!

I have used ss tournament reels for over 28 years. (1300's, 1600's and 2600's) I am just a die hard fishermen. (so lets get that out of the way) there are not to many people you will meet that will have used this item as much as I have.) thousands if not hundreds of thousands of kings,silvers,chum,sockeye, steelhead and large trout. (you ever landed 6 halibut in 100 feet of water each one over 60 pounds with one of these reels? well I have.) in my opinion these reels are one of the finest reels on the market for the money hands down. I would add to that and say they are also one of the most bullet proof, durable reels ever made for salt water spinning. lets talk about the "whys" of it....I would put these reels up against reels costing 3 times as much and if I was a gambling man would put my money on these reels winning. now...here's why. a bail that never fails, EVER! even with sand or silt in it. ( I always tighten the screw at the bail arm when I get a new one, sometimes they are not tight enough) after you do that they will never fail you. the spool....these reels lay the line on the spool at a 6degree criss cross pattern. (why is this important? ever had a king or silver that is 20 plus pounds of fighting furry make a lunge so hard it sinches your line down into the line on a spool creating a pulsing action to the drag that makes the line break? most spinning reels will do that and many fish are lost.) this reel ossilates the line laying it in a 6 degree cris sross so that the line can never get cinched into the spool. the difference between these and other reels in just that category alone is striking. I just do not loose big fish with these and my drag is even and controlled. they are smooth and light for a spinning reel as well. I have landed well over 10,000 kings on just one of the 2600 reels some pushing 55 pounds. (and this is from shore, not in a boat) ever try to stop a 40 pound king on a spinning rod from shore? how good are these reels? they are the only spinning reels I will own. I have over a dozen of each size. (I am not connected with diawa in any way. I say this as a loyal customer and ss tournements number one biggest fan.) you want a killer reel? take it from a legend (that's me) place your order and step into the light. craig stevensRead full review
