Can anyone let me know if you use a Daiwa 125 reel, and if you do, i would welcome any comments. Many thanks. Brian Willson.

I must say that i have found these posts very interesting, i purchased two baby Shimano reels for this season, one of them i have not yet used, it seems that my confidence in them at the moment is very low because of two seperate incidents, the first was when i was fishing the margins and my rod...
