Title: question, Daiwa Exceler 6500T vs. shimano Saragosa 18000F, or Spheros
Post by: Yo mero on December 14, 2010, 05:47:26 PM
I am interested to buy the Daiwa Exceler 6500T spinning reel, it is about $100 dollars cheaper then the shimano saragosa 18000 F, and the Spheros 18000 T is in the same price ranges  seems to be kind of cheaply made, ( may me only pictures)
I will appreciate any feedback or recommendations.

The more expensive reels are sweet but harder to maintain.  I have a Japanese Shimano Twin Drag that cost about $500 13 years ago.  Still going strong and caught many fish with it.  Man, I gotta service this reel.
