Daiwa Zillion, am i really the only one??

Not much love for Daiwa on this forum. The Zillion is a great reel

Daiwa Zillion, am i really the only one??

You're not alone, the Zillion was my 1B to the Fuego's 1A.

The best ones that I own, and like to fish the most are my Curado 51E's. But for the money, my Cruxis, Curado and Citica D's are tough to beat. I have several Citica 201E's but they just don't "do it" for me like the 51E's, and don't fish any better than the D's.

Some how I have the feeling I'll be the only one ~

x2 on the Quantum......only I have the PT Tour Edition........Quantum just doesn't get enough love

Gen 3 Revo SX. Never owned the Gen2.

I'd have to say the Gen 2 Revo Premiers.

The best (and only) baitcaster i have used is the Abu Silver max. Love it.

I'm surprised no one said the gen 2 Revo SX. People swore by that reel. I swore AT it though...

I have a mixture of gen 1 and gen 2 SX's. I do swear by them. Fantastic reels. More durable than any I have owned. Jury is still out on the gen 3's though.

Calais DC for me.

Curado 51e

Pro Qualifier in close second

Chronarch d...even over my cores

My Garcia's pick one hard to do

 curado 51e with abec7 bearings

-Favorite for all around use would be a core 50

-Furthest casting would be a shimano chronarch 100sf supertuned and upgraded bearings

Shimano Calcutta 100 TE GT

The word "best" is too broad - best at what?  So, here's several "bests" (left-to-right):

 

Best caster (and most technologically advanced) - Calais DC

 

Best made (subjective, but it's just like a little Swiss watch) - Conquest 50

 

Best value (and, arguably, most satisfying to use) - ProLite

 

PQs as of right now.

Been loving my Chronarch 50e
