Man, I’ve gone almost full circle on these...I started out with a Daiwa Millionaire then went to Abu Garcia, then was Shimano for a long time, when they kind of got rid of the Curado I liked, I switched to Lew’s for a few years. Now I’m back to Daiwa and probably not going back.
My advice: if you can go slightly more than $200 I would go with the cheapest model Daiwa that you can buy an SV spool with. I believe it’s the Tatula.
