Daiwa :: Spinning Reels reviews (15 models)

Nathan Schehl: I have been using this for a couple months now. I would use this reel the rest of my life if it holds up. I just caught a 6 pound 9 ounce bass on Sunday. I did it very easy. It's very smooth. It's a steal. ...

MrSir: i don't have the HA model but i do have the certate...and by far it is better than any..and i mean ANY spinning reel i ever used..including the stradic CI4..great drag,line flows off nice..liquid smooth..just awesome! ...
