Daiwa Powersurf... Who uses em?

I am thinking of picking up a powersurf for my general fishing, which involves maybe half a dozen canal trips (it will not be my main jigging rig). I am gonna put it on my arra 1205.

You guys like em?
Are they holding up?
Are they wortht the extra money and potential service issues when compared to an emblem pro, cabo or boca.

I am thinking the 5000 size is big enough to get a couple hundred yards of 50 lb braid?

Anyone know any sites with good deals?

thanks for the input....

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

Half a dozen Canal trips and no jigging?

No need to spend any more than what an Emblem Pro costs, IMO.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

but my primary jigging rig is 1209 and 7000cl... I use the 1205 for lighter jigs and plugs.

Lost 2 good fish last night down here when the fireline on my 706 dug in. Going a little moe modern for awhile...
