Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. Just after some advice on the latest and greatest surf casting reels.

What's everyone using?

I am after a spinning reel and I was looking at the daiwa emblem pro range?

I already have a shimano big bait runner.

Any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

Will

Emblems and Emblem Pros are all I use.
Absolutely reliable.

I bought a Shimano Ultegra 14000, not really that impressed, lots of "chrome plated" plastic, but I guess that I'm used to the old school US made Penn 950SS, all metal.
The bigger Daiwa's seem to cast well.

Men and fish are alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths.

5500s...both in the Pro and ordinary emblems. My first emblem was an XAII. Cost me back in the day $485 I am still using it today twenty+? years later!
So many of the parts (esp spools, handles) are interchangeable makes me think the only changes Daiwa have made to this hugely successful model is paint and graphics.
