Works great for trout fishing N Ga. Casts great and never tangles! Drag works good and it doesnt have the power to simply crank in the big ones, but it works very well. Its not a premium reel and I dont expect it to last forever (already have another as a backup, just in case), but been using a lot for 2 seasons trouble free. I extend all my line in the yard and re-reel after every trip, apply a little oil whenever I change line and so far it still works as good as new.

Bought this for my elderly buddy. Hes fished his entire life but has lost some dexterity in his fingers. This was the answer weve been looking for. Theres still ice on the lakes here, but hes been out in the backyard practicing. It casts extremely smooth. Have yet to test out the drag. Im happy that I wont have to wear a full faced helmet when fishing on his boat with him. Lol

I have been a big fan of underspin reels for many years, and when I needed a new one, I thought I'd try the Daiwa. Very good price point, and looked nice. When I made my first cast, I was elated - it cast both accurately and for good distance. With every retrieval, however, it got harder and harder to reel in .... it seemed almost waterlogged, like the water on the line (which was the line that came with the reel) was flooding it. By the 20th cast, it was impossible to use, even though every cast out was great. I am going to dry it out and see if it works better, but if not, or if it has the same problem, I am sending it back.
