Daiwa reels somehow heavier in general, hence I liked Shimano, light and compact design. Though Daiwa feels smoother and sturdier.
Now that Daiwa has the LT models, they're light! And I'm moving away from Shimano. Recently bought the freams lt and getting caldia lt.
One thing for sure, gotta love kmart sinkers! They're JW sinkers but kmart sells them super cheap, cheaper than most tackle shops at least. They used to have tassie devil and gulp plastics for like $5.

V tackle.
Savage boats.
Penn / Daiwa.
Southern sport Fisher.
Breakwater marine.
Garmin.
Black magic KL./ Leader

And clearance bargains.....
I discovered 2 cracks where the gunwale meets the dash console on my savage bay cruiser on Saturday, rang the local dealer and savage have recalled it to rebuild it from top to bottom and have owned up to it being a manufacturing fault (which it is)

So massive kudos to them. A lot of other companies would investigate before trying to blame it on user damage

Makes me glad I picked savage. I'd hope quintrex and stacer would have done the same
