Now that´s a good reel !

I may be a Shimano man but when it comes to spinning reels I prefer Daiwa.

Blasphemy!

 

Hey Brandon, glad to see you're on here. I remember reading about this fish whenever you had caught it. And on a jitterbug too! My Dad and Pap would be tickled pink over that! I don't have any experience with JDM spinning reels (only casting), but they generally are very high quality as one would expect. The thing to keep in mind, as others have said, is the warranty is not valid here in the USA. However, as with any super high end product, you hopefully shouldn't have any issues with the reel. I own all of the newest model Stradics and I must say they are very impressive. I'm sure neither of the 3 models will let you down. I know the older model ci4 model Stradic is being discounted on multiple websites, I'm assuming because it's being replaced.

I ordered  Certate 2510PE-, but they sent me  Certate 2510RPE-H.  Going through the process of exchanging a reel to Japan.  Fun times!!! hahaha

That's awesome!  Lots of people were surprised by the Jit, but I'm not sure why.  That is the most proven lure in my tackle box.
