      I like Shimano.  Strong, smooth, silent and reliant.

    Just buy em all

     

     

    This is the only correct answer.

     

     

    (1) Diawa T3 Ballistic. I just got this reel used it came on a Diawa 7'6" Heavy Tatula Rod. I LOVE THIS REEL. this reel may have turned me into a DIAWA fan. I wish the brake adjustment were more easily accessed. but I LOVE THIS REEL AND LOVE THIS ROD. I use it for punching heavy mats and have it spooled with 80LB braid. and the rising T Level wind system on the heavy braid lets it roll of the spool. I dont know how smooth the drag is on this reel because i keep it hammered down and have never have a fish pull drag on this reel. so i guess the drag works perfectly for me. 

     

     

    No experience with the Ballistic, but I have 3 of the T3 1016 variations.  Only reel I can cast with zero brakes on so Longcast must apply some.  Truly a great braking system.  I also like engaging the spool using the cover.  Had my Tatula Type R out again yesterday.  You should try one. 

     

     

    Can I have it?

     

    Nope.  Took 7 rods with me today, but had to get medicine for my grandson first, so didn't get to spend the amount of time on the water I had planned (late start).  Only used my tuned and upgraded TD-Z 105H and tuned and upgraded Alphas F.  What a blast.  :teeth3:
