Alan, I have a chance to buy a Daiwa Sealine Tournament SLT-50
and a Duel 50w. They both look good on paper. The Duel has a
dual carbonex drag system. pros and cons on them would be
helpful to make a choose.
i've not had good experiences with the daiwa lever drags. i've also not any experiences at all with duel. personally, i'd rather see you stick with something else. :-\
I would love to see the inners of Duel reels. I found them popular in certain markets and seem to hold their own. I think there are limited distribution in the US, which makes parts hunting difficult. Good luck, and if you do pick-up a duel, would you mind opening it up and snap a few pics?
