Daiwa for me. In my eyes they deliver good consistent value at a reasonable price.

QUAKEnSHAKE reply :
I voted not a fanboy.
I have Pinnacle ABU Shimano Daiwa Pflueger Quantum Zebco reels.
St Croix Pflueger BPS Mitchell UglyStick rods.
My favorite of each would be my Pinnacle bc and St Croix spinning rod.

Tough one. If I did not feel obligated to buy from Ardent, I probably would have stuck with Daiwa BCs and Shimano Spinning reels. BUT..... got the XS 1000, and I'm lovin it and I'm more loyal to America than Daiwa, so now I'm an Ardent customer.

Why isnt Quantum Reels an option? even thought the gear isnt popular on this forum its a real choice.

Should be moved to the "Pampers" forum imo.

In that case, I voted Shimano. The others are terribly inferior.

hitchhiker reply :
Not a fanboy, just a dude. There's something I like in each and somethings that I don't.
Favorite website...Tackle Warehouse
Red reply :
I voted for Abu. They have been good to me. I have recently replaced my rods with Lamiglas Excel's....Made in USA...nuff said. If ardent ever comes out with lefty models I may just make that switch as well.

NorcalBassin reply :
Tough call for me between Shimano and Abu. Shimano holds the lead right now, but I'm about to pick up an STX... we'll see.
Craiger12 reply :
Love my Zillions. Love my Core 51s. Love my 2010 Premiers. I just realized that these are the only reels I currently own.
rumbal reply :
Baitcast reels - Shimano
Spinning reels - Daiwa.

I have both Shimano, Abu, and a Pro Qualifier. I have less troubles with Abu and PQ... Maybe I just need to get the Shimano tuned.
South FLA reply :
1. Shimano/Daiwa
2. Abu (but gaining)
I really love my Zillion, Core, Chronarch and Skeet Reese Revo. Hated the Premier, went through several of them all had issues!
Raul reply :
12 Daiwas
12 Shimanos
4 Abus
I stopped purchasing Abus many years ago, don 't know what happened but suddenly the quality wasn 't there anymore, after a couple of regretable purchases they lost my business, that 's when I began purchasing Shimano and Daiwa, apparently Abu has made it back, I 've fishe with a couple of Revos ( S and STX ) and found them to be nice reels, however I don 't know if I 'll purchase Abu again, Shimano and Daiwa got so much new very nice stuff.
Micro reply :
I have 9 Daiwas (5 Zillions, 2 Fuegos, 2 Sols) and 10 Shimanos (1 Core, 1 Calcutta, 1 Castaic, 2 Curados, 2 Stradics, 2 Symetres and 1 Spirex). I sold all of my Abus.
With my Revos I had several with bearing issues and one with metal shavings in the reel. With my Cardinals, I had one 800 with bearing problems, and a 500 ALB with paint flaking off. To their credit, Abu replaced all of these reels. But they should have never made it out the door with these problems.
I have not encountered any problems of any sort with any of the my Daiwas or Shimanos.

I fish ONLY Daiwa reels, Daiwa, Evergreen and Megabass rods.. and one of the three NRX's kept a full time spot on the boat, the other two was sold off!
90% of my reels are JDM models I have a very large Limited edition collection. I do have a few USDM Zillions, Steez and Sol's 1 fuego and 1 viento.
If its a reel and it isnt a Daiwa it isnt on my boat!!!
Go Daiwa or go home!

The both of you could have just not clicked on the link? Just about EVERYTHING has been posted on here one time or another... so if people didnt post new questions because it has been done before this forum wouldnt be very much now would it?
I cant get over how people B!@#H about someone posting something but yet they still come and make their little waste of bandwidth comments when all they had to do was keep it to them selfs and not open that post! its SO funny to me...
everyone just stop posting if you see one post from even 5 years ago on the subject! because the post patrol will post off topic telling you that your posting a endless thread that no one wants to read yet they still open it and reply to it but you are wrong for wasting bandwidth for posting it and they arent because they are the Post Patrol! get it right Son, They want blood.

Well I would hope you dont go home because you fish a shimano... I would understand if you had to tho.
Lol JK Shimano makes great reels just not my cup of tea.. I never liked how They have casted nor the way they look.. but to each their own. Im not saying anything bad about shimano... Shimano and Daiwa are the two biggest reel companies in the world for a reason. they both make high preforming reels and rods that will last a very long time and stay flawless year after year if taken care of.
