I found it a bit heavy and stiff spinning all day as a small child, I wouldn't now obviously. I know it's a Daiwa as my dad and I both had them in different sizes and they both said Daiwa on them. 100%

If you compare the stickers you will notice that Daiwa has changed their company logo a few times over the years but it looks very close to the one on your rod as far as I can make it out from the photo.
