I have mid level fishing gear, i use daiwa and shimano reels and pflueger rods.
I have 2x daiwa sol reels in 3000 and 4000. Wasn't long after i bought the 3000 it started to feel "cheap".
I've caught a lot of fish with it but currently it feels and sounds like craap.
The 4000 is starting to feel worse also.
My last purchase was a daiwa emeraldas colossal which i paid $375 for (rrp was $500)
I have probably used it less than 50 times and it has also turned from a lovely smooth reel to a grindy/noisy one.
Being a japanese built reel i had high hopes it would feel perfect for years.. But it isn't so..
I have used a daiwa stradic ci4 and it felt cheap.
I believe in you get what you pay for, but do i need to jump up to a stella to be satisfied?
One thing with the daiwa's are their drags are perfect imo.
So what spin reels do you guys use?
