Daiwa SS whisker Tournament reels.

[Huanzhou Zhu]

It's pretty dinky, but I've not seen a Shimmy 2500, to compare them. Sorry.

Yeah, thats my problem as well, I have the 750, nice little reel, thinking of getting a similar sized shimano reel, but don't know which size to go for...

 

[Daniel Earl]

It’s dinky it’s about the size of a 2500 lure reel at a push 3000 but that’s a push so think shimano twin areo or vanquish or vanford but heavyier

 

[Chris Cheshire]

the ss750 is slightly smaller in total length than the shimano reel, lighter too.

What makes them worth so much more than typical SS2600?

They are mate. Loads better.
When you turn the handles you feel the unbalanced rotor on both reels but the 26 definitely has a lot more slop and wobble in it than the 1000 despite being identical in design.
I believe the Japanese we’re building these to much tighter tolerances and to a better standard because you can feel a huge difference between them through the handle despite them looking the same.

I think the seller made a mistake in pricing? I know they are great reel but 330 each?

Oh is that each. Yeah that’s way over priced

 

[Daniel Earl]

I didn’t see that thought it was for the pair !! I got two 9/10 for way less than that

Scarcity

 

[Neil Smart]

The ad says for the pair, but qty available listed as 1.

Yeah, when I change the qty to 2 and add to basket, the price is 660.

 

[Richard Parsons]

Just messaged the seller - £330 for the pair. Error in the listing.

 

[Daniel Earl]

That makes it a bit more palatable, there is ok condition as well by the photos
