Daiwa :: Baitcasting Reels reviews (23 models)

SeekretSpot: This is the best round reel for swimbaits on the market... And that's not even its intended purpose! Freshwater or Salt you can't find a better reel. Yes you are paying bundle, BUT @ $40 a bait this reel will be the cheapest investment you ma ...

rattazzi: The purpose to buy this reel was to be used down here in Argentina for Dorado Golden Fish. This fish has a very strong mouth and sometimes breaks our hooks. I do recommend Daiwa Luna. Great experience! Used in Esquina, Provincia de Corrientes, A ...

Dave M: I tend to hold reel with index finger under the line in the front. Doing this you adjust the brakes without realizing while casting. (Cast righy use lefty version) The other problem is after about 300 or so casts the reel makes a grinding vibratio ...

Bulldog: I have used this reel in fresh and salt water and have caught several larger fish with it with no problems. When the reel is properly set up a very light lure can be cast with no backlash. The twitching bar is a great asset when used with cert ...
