Tattoo: I've got three Daiwa Emblems X5000T's. They cast a mile - farther than any other reel I've used. However, they have no IAR and that's a huge problem for me especially when throwin' jigs. The damn reel handle/cranks bang back against the shaft very badly. Causes problems in the long run ( about 25 hours worth of this banging and that's it - Repair job). I also would be very hesitant to get it soaked - a little to fragile for too much abuse.
