While the Tatula SV seems to give Daiwa the best bang for the buck here, I do have to say if you pick wrong between Daiwa and Shimano you probably aren't going to end up with a bad reel.

Thanks, I found a 15 Aldedaran for a good price on Amazon. Should be here next week. Have no idea what rod for it lol!

 It depends on what you want to do with the reel.  A ML or L phenix recon would be a good canidate if you wany to try baitcasiting finesse.  Small jigs and worms catch me a ton of fish.

Actually looked at one, but wanted picked up a Tatula Elite for spinnerbaits, chatterbaits. Gonna shift the Alderbaran to a Cronos.
