diawa reels

Does anyone use diawa emcast big pit reels for shore fishing and are they any good?

Hello there Forest I use a Daiwa Emcast Evo 5500 for a lot of my shore fishing. I have used it for about two years now and it has never let me down. I have landed plenty of fish with it including ray and dogfish. After each session I wash it down in warm water and give it a general clean up. Every few months I strip it down and oil the bearings and other moving parts and it comes up good as new. When finances allow I will be getting another one.

cheers bigbadtom.

I have the 5500 and the 6000 size no problems yet

I have both the Emcast Advanced and Emcast Sport in 6000 size. Great reels and never let me down.
