Daiwa’s Sealine X series are a wonderful group of reels, have been for years now. The spool disengages when you cast, so the freespool performance is excellent. The drags are reliable and sound, and I’ve been aboard the Red Rooster when a fellow took the jackpot with a tuna over 110 pounds – so I know they are sound pieces, solid, capable performers.
The reels are excellent for tossing iron or bait. Reels in this series reels feature Super Speed Shaft for longer casts (like a neutral), selectable centrifugal casting brakes, waterproof sealed drags – waterproof, fast gearing, tough marine bronze and stainless gears, aluminum spool, composite frame and sideplates, rod clamp… For 2006 Daiwa upgraded the reel by adding improved CRB bearings for enhanced corrosion resistance.
