This is the first Shimano Spinning reel I ever bought. I have been extremely impressed with their offshore conventional reels.....the TLDs. They beat my Penn Internationals Hands Down and cost a third the price.
Hopefully their workmanship in their spinning reels compares to their conventional reels. It is the smoothest reel I ever wound....with absolutely no resistance, which I really like because you dont have to fight the reel to feel the plug swimming.
Did not want to go for the Van Staal nor a Zeebaas due to the high cost....PLUS I do not fish underwater and I do maintain my tackle and clean and grease them all the time. I have had Penns, Luxors and Cracks for over thirty years and they all still kick butt.
