Daiwa

I try to ocean fish 4 – 5 times a month. I own reels from the three big manufactures. My Daiwa reels are by far my favorite. I own Saltist 30 and 40 two speeds. I use them from everything from Rockfish, lingcod, White Sea Bass, halibut and Small tuna to 60 lbs. They are light weight, have better drag when doing price comparasion and very smooth.
Recently I purchased a Lexa 300hs-​p. I was swimbait fishing for lingcod. I was adjusting the spool cap. I adjusted it too loose and the cap hit the boat rail and went swimming in the Pacific. I called daiwa to buy a new one. I told the rep what I needed and before I could ask the cost, she told me they would send it out «GRATIS», even though it was my screw up. What more could you ask for!!! I recently took the lexa out to WSB and barracuda fish. No WSB, but, the little reel slayed some LOG barracuda without a hiccup.
I thought before writing this to do a little research. Daiwa is also more reasonable when it comes to servicing reels compared to other brands.
I could only hope DAIWA starts giving out decals, just pulled my A**T sticker of my window.
