I've noticed the guys that are consistently on the fish use Shimano. ????? I fish Abu, Lew's, and Shimano atm. I figured my Abu's would wear out so I could replace them with Shimano's but I can't kill'em. I bought a Daiwa with the TW and spooled it up only to have pull half the line off to get it not to rub the cross bar. I swapped it for a Shimano I could spool with the correct amount of line.

I fish Abu, Lew's , Kastking and Shimano.......my Abu Orra's are definitely work horses.

      You will be happy with either brand. My preference is Shimano.

      You are in luck!!!!!!   There is no wrong answer.  The model options in both manufactures is broad and the Lews options should not be overlooked.

    If you like smooth, and control get Daiwa.

    If you like classic, robust get Shimano.

    If you smart get both......

    No love for the Ryoga?  

    Never held this reel or know anyone who has. $600 premium price tag puts this reel in a class with the Conguest.
