This one is a really nice reel, THE reel in fact, for panfish, and only one specific DAIWAs compares, but I chose this one because it was better. Read the specs, make a decision, you can't lose. I have all the paperwork and things that came with this, because it's remained in the box for a year. The season will be here before we know it, so pull the trigger on this one and you will not regret it.
To sweeten the deal, I'm including an extra, brand new official Shimano brand velcro neoprene elastic line holder, a brand new extra Shimano brand spool from shimreels.com, already filled with Sufix Nanobraid, and a Shimano brand neoprene reel holder (see photos to see what I mean), which amounts to an additional $100 value for FREE. Without the reel, why keep them, I figure.
