Rated 5 out of 5Â by Tomisz 2 words: efficient reel !
I own the 1300 SS, this reel was a gift, from my best friend. It's one of the reel that you can count on it ! In the first runout I was amazed by the cast distance, and the smooth drag.
I'we also noticed that this reel has two different gear ratios, 5.1 and 6.1particularly to much expensive reels.
If Daiwa should used antiinfinit reverse on this reel, probably they didn't had to make any reels !

Great reel. Ordered one used it for two days and then ordered another. So I am a Daiwa guy now. Smooth, great drag, light. Perfect. Taking them to Canada soon, and can't wait to get into some walleyes!

not for salt water??? I have been using mine in salt water for 14 years, just hose it off with fresh water, it won't let you down. my friends use other good reels, how ever they get knots in there lines. this reel doesn't. I started using braid, still no knots, and it will out cast other reels. don't worry about looks, its performance that catches the fish. don't re-invent the reel, this one is perfect

I have 3 0f the SS 1600's. While mine are on custom built rods I do use gloomis as my primary baitcast reel rods. I really love both the SS series reels and gloomis rods. If I should ever replace a spinning rod it will be with a gloomis rod. I don't see how u could go wrong with a SS reel on a gloomis rodA:Â

like the 1300 cause its light...the 1600 has more line capacity if your salmon like to run.A:Â
I have several Daiwa SS Torunament reels in different sizes. I mainly saltwater kayak fish with them using a 700 with 15# Power Pro line and this littel reel has done more than its job. Its not a high tech reel but they are very dependable and will hold up with a little care forever. I would highly recommend this reel for any fishing you would like to do as they are rock solid and will get the job done. When I bought my first one I tried it in the store and didn't think it was as smooth as a $100 reel should be, but after using these reels year after year I will say they are the Bee's Knee's and well worth the money in the long run.A:Â
Can't go wrong wiht this Diawa, long casts, great drag, perfect for big salmon!Answers

These reeels have never come with a spare spool. I have two of them. if I recall correctly the extra spool can be purchased but it runs over $20.00. In my opinion it is well worth the extra cost if this is going to be one of your primary reels.Details:Â
I noticed that this reel fits some rods oddly. Angles upwards a good bit, any help would be appreciated.Answers

i fish inshore and back country and like the results i get from pairing this reel with the star stellar light 7 footer, fast action MLA:Â

My personal choice is St. Croix spinning rods. As always fit the rod to the reel.A:Â
I put mine on a Shakespear Liberty 98% Graphite UL and it's great. Of course it depends on what size reel you have and the kind of fishing you are doing.That upward angle is one of the reasons you can cast it so far, it keeps it alligned better with your first eyelet and reduces friction that way. I would be comfortable putting this reel on any rod I own.
A:Â
all good spin reels angle up abit to keep in line with the guides.A:Â
I use my 2600 boyh on my Shakespeare Ugly Stik 6´6" and 7´.Both Medium action.
The shape of the SS Spool, combined with the whip action on the Ugly, allows you to cast every line as it was half the weight.
The Spool seems to push the line away.
I will also recomend the Uglys with the Tournament
A:Â
An ugly stick works very good with this reel. You get the added bonuses of them being tough and cheap. I use the bigger SSs'(?) and have used primarily med-heavy 6'6"-7' rods.1 of 1
