No personal experience but most reviews I've read on boards have been very very positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf Posted December 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Seems like I spend a lot of time fishing underwater the water. This shimano reel has seals On each side of the handle and a seal by the rotor. There’s also no anti-reverse switch so one less place for water to get in. I’ll probably tear it up this is why we can’t have nice things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev-mo Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Yeah fishing in the rain doesn't help.... either buy new or maintain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark K Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 This is the only reel I have found to be next to indestructible. Daiwa has been making them since the 80's. They used to be made in japan. the ones have are. Now they are made somewhere else. I don't know if they are any worse. They never bind up from taking dunking. The drag is really smooth. https://www.daiwa.com/us/contents/reels/ss_t/index.html The trade-off is, by today's standards they are pretty clunky right out of the box.
