Daiwa 3000SS reissue

[Eagle Claw]

I was browsing on some of the UK sites and found out the reel has been brought back again in a limited production run overseas. There is a catch, however. The price is 225-250 pounds, approximately 50% more than a Tournament-S5000-T which replaced it. The weight is listed at 20.3 oz. which is the same exact weight (measured) of my S5000-T.

I am all that up to speed with spinning reels, but I am looking at them for future reference. How do you like your S-5000T?

That would be a $297 graphite reel.

 

For that money wouldnt you want a saltiga surf?

No

To many plastic parts. I find the Saltiga surf to be an overpriced Emblem Pro.

it's more like, GRAPHITE vs. PLASTIC.

are you willing to shell out $300 for a graphite reel or $370 for a plastic reel?
