I've heard a lot of people say that Shimano is best in entry to low range reels. I'm not so sure anymore.

[piketronic]

Think Shimano has a real problem now

[tasty.bream]

i never use a shimano reel again, the dont back there warranty up!!
As for daiwa, i bought few reels from japan and i had a problem with one of them sent it to japan and fix it for me as good as new!!!

Daiwa release so many nice cheap reel this yrs, cant wait to get a hold of the new balistic and limited edition certate!!

Those Daiwa releases look good value for money at the entry level. Personally I think Shimano dropped the ball 18 months or so ago

Funny thing is

my exist and both emeraldas and my luvias have all had the anti reverse replaced .

not one of my 5 cheap daiwas have ever had an anti reverse fail.

im liking the new look of these reels up top

One of them reminds me of the 2014 Caldia.. Keen for these to hit the market, i think they will do extrememly well if they have same features of some of the more expensive model reels.

Procyon ex is 159 from the states and has air rotor and mag seal I've ordered 2 already

Does everyone think these reels are better than similar priced shimano reels because they look pretty ?

[matt jorg]

The caldia is equivalent to a stradic I reckon, everything below the stradic in Shimano are pretty ordinary eg sienna/ aernos/ Sedona, symetre.

But the saros is respectable and good value which I reckon these would be on par with.
I reckon Shimano fell behind yonks ago unfortunately.

Fine me a shimano reel that has 8 bearings 7 kilos of drag air rotor and some kind of water tight seal. For 150 dollars ?? I can't argue this with complete confidence because I haven't put my hands on one of these new reels. But playing internet reels daiwa is murdering shimano with this release.

Looks like its time for a new 'bush bashing' reel
