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.
Ya should a been here last week.
