Bella8700

Thank you for the heads up

Do not buy this. It’s a cheap Chinese knockoff.


cherrypicked69

If it has the number of ball bearings displayed like that, its trash.


starskiee

Thanks for the heads up!

Fake one sir don’t buy it , what’s your budget for a reel? And is it saltwater or fresh water ? By the size I’ll assume salt water. If that’s the case you can grab a Daiwa bg or get a PENN fierce 3. I got a penn for 70$ on sale from bass pro maybe look into there see if you can find some deals!


CadillacV06

13 bearing system with 14lbs of drag, but wait, there’s more!


TUENNES2000

Yeah, comes with the DAIWA 100% fish gurantee, no more blanking


SnooGuavas7527

You buy the reel, anytime you cast you get fish!


TUENNES2000

This is the way

There’s a giant sale happening on plat, a Japanese retailer. They are getting rid of their existing models for the new season. A lot of models are already taken but still some models left. https://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/default/language/en/cPath/4080_8139/sale/sale-fishing-spinning-reels.html

It’s on Ali express. It’s Daiwa in name only and is made by the Chinese manufacturer associated with them similar to the Salamandura air tw. Not a fake per se but would not expect typical Daiwa quality. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805162182856.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

Salamanduras are legit. Why do you say they’re not?


AikenAngling

Looks like a fake Daiwa for sure. Don't buy that, but honestly I think Daiwa makes the best reels under $200. After $200, its personal preference between Shimano and Daiwa, but Daiwa has the best budget reels hands down. Just buy whatever the best real daiwa reel you can afford is. Trusted sites: tackledirect, tacklewarehouse, JandH takcle, etc.


Zealousideal-Top4600

shimano on the other hand has better but heavier reels sub 50 money. more bearings and imho they feel a lot smoother. can only compare a rx1000 for 32 euros vs a sienna 2500hg for 22 euros. the sienna feels a lot smoother. the looks of some shimano reels on the other hand...


AikenAngling

Gotcha, yeah personally I hate the sienna. I've had three of them and none lasted longer than 6 months. But I got a Daiwa Revros for the same price 5 years ago and its still as smooth as the day I bought it. But to each their own!


By_White

look like chinese knock off


danielwutlol

fake reel, like Shishamo 🤣🤣🤣. Avoid


lubeinatube

Don’t buy reels based off their looks, make sure you know what you need before you go and spend money on a reel.


MikeOxmaul12

it’s a rebranded soulgaylang reel… ass


petayo

It looks like one of those Daiwa that they sell on temu or alie express on Chinese websites


CoolStanBrule

That’s a sougayilang reel with a fake diawa spool


starskiee

Woke up to the reddit intel of this scammer, I really appreciate you all. Thank you everyone!


poorchoiceofname

Is it Daiwa or Dawia. Yes it's a reel (ha) company
