I prefer Daiwa, im running Exists and a couple of Steez's and Branny's and a couple of Shimano Stella's and I pick up the Daiwa reel every time.
My old man is Shimano all the way and has everything from a Sedona through to a Biomaster and loves them to bits but even he has admitted he would pick up my Exists before the Stella's and Bio's etc. They can't be that bad then  Also MB reels are awesome, and they're basically blinged up Daiwa's

I prefer Daiwa SVF rods and Shimano Stella spin reels.. Best of both worlds for me.

Seems to me that daiwa is in no way superior. I've got heaps of both shimano and daiwa. Daiwas seem blingier, but looking at my twinpower mg I would say shimano can sometimes come up with some nice looking reels. The daiwa reels seem to be more free spinning, whereas shimano reels are more smooth spinning. Does that make sense?

I use both. I have owned an Daiwa Exist, which I must say, was a lovely piece of kit and I currently own a Shimano Stella, which is also a pure pleasure to use. Both brands offer comparible models right through their entire range. Prices for both brands are comparable when you take the reel's features and quality into account. For all intents and purposes, you could simply consider both brands as being equal and then chose which model you like, purely by the features and price. That's what I do.
Daiwa definately have a much larger range to chose from, especially in the mid to high range models. Daiwa also offer more options when it comes to sizes. Then again, Shimano offer the magical Stella, which has a reputation for longetivity and reliance that Daiwa must really envy. The bottom line - both brands are good. Just choose the model and size that you like. You really can't go wrong either way. Last edited by Windknot; 08-01-2013 at 05:41 AM.

It is really shimano for me, I can see the benefit of a 2000, 2004 size reel, etc, but why not go more finesse with a 1000, I am a big fan of 1000 size reels, all my inland fishing is nearly always done with one, when it comes to trout and bream, but then I can see a gap.
Really if shimano brought a 2000 reel to Aus, I would be all over it, if it incoperated some of the classic shimano features, well presented looks, quality customer service, toughness the two last features are not so well represented in the Dawia range. - Daniel All to there own though.
