Shimano vs. Daiwa spinning reels

[fishing chick]

Larry,

I know you're sponsored by Shimano, but how do their reels compare with Daiwa's?

I've always favored Shimano reels but some of the new Daiwa's I've seen look pretty sweet.

Thanks.

I have used Daiwa almost exclusively for the last 6-7 years and
have had great luck. I also am a little bias as I am on their guide
program. I also think that Shimano tackle is a safe choice for
anyone. It is really a personal choice with what you feel comfortable
with. If you can try both and see what feels right.
