Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hawaiifisherman THE LONGEST CAST YET
This reel is incredible. The casting is out of this world. All it takes is one cast and you will feel the difference. This is not the smoothest reel that I used, but this reel is good enough, by far the best in long casting performance and I would endorse with no problem. Built tough and dependable. I would go fishing where there is no one catching fish, I would cast out and retrieve a fish, not that I'm lucky, It is because I can reach the fish by casting farther than everyone else. I used Shimano, Penn, Okuma, and Mitchell Garcia spinners and nothing can come close to the Daiwa SS Tourneyment series Wisker...What I would really like to see is a Tournament series ss wisker built for the salt water. This is a great product I have Three of the wiskers SS 700 -- 4#, SS 1300 --6#, SS 2600 --10#. I use the SS2600 with 10 # manofiliment and a 1 1/2 oz barrel lead this reel all the time for salt water fishing. White wash not too often, very rare since I had this reel.
Try this reel out, you won't be sorry. =)

Rated 5 out of 5Â by JEMCG One of the best spinning reels ever
There are a number of spinning reels out there. But this series is one of the best all around ever produced. I use the SS1300 size for both saltwater and freshwater use. My reels have fished from coast to coast, in Canada and in Mexico. They have never let me down and landed fish to 30lbs using line from braid to mono. I've convinced a number of friends to try these fine little reels and all have purchased them after fishing with mine.

Tough and reliable.It can take a saltwater licking and keep on ticking.Literally this reel can take a good dunking and keep on fishing.I own a 1300ss,1600ss and a2600ss all of which survived being under water from hurricane Wilma.The reels could not be recovered from the flood for several days.A thorough rinsing in fresh water and inspection with a small amount of reel oil was all it took to put them back into service.

This is simply my most reliable reel. It has the BEST line lay system (much better than the locomotive). It doesn't have instant anti-reverse, but it doesn't bother me. I will deduct a point because it doesn't come with a spare spool.

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

Yes it does. It has a switch at the base of the reel.A:Â

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
