Daiwa or Shimano?
Good morning!
I am in somewhat of a quandry as to which big pit reels to go for when my monthly paycheck comes through. Could the audience give their valued thoughts and opinions on the choices available. I am interested in either Shimano or Daiwa and nothing else due to both companies having excellent reputations. With my Timperley tours being fully booked up at present I have precious little time to spare for my angling and do not wish to be stuck with broken inferior tackle preventing me from my hobby. Thank you.

shimano`s had all the daiwa`s and not a patch on them.destroyed a 6000 tourniment shredded the gears.ultegra`s the big baitrunners or if you can afford them the techniums believe there bringing a new one out with the same baitrunner system as the ultegra`s.

I have had both shimano and daiwa, at the moment i am using the 5000 tournament st's never had a problem with them mechanicaly but had to change the rubber line guard on each of the spools.

If its any help I have used the new Ultegra xsa's for nearly 12 months and they are superb. Clutch is a dream, line lay is mint, built really well etc...

ive still got and use diawa 4500's from 10 years ago and i also use shimano 10'000s.both sets of reels have never let me down but im swayed with diawa cos the bait runner switch goes down when hitting a fish rather than up on the shimano's

I would be swayed towards the diawas as they have always built quality.If your pay packet has enough in get the top of the range,buy cheap,buy twice imo.
