Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could th-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.
No particular order but these should be on this list. Shimano Metanium Shimano Aldebaran Shimano Antares Shimano Conquest Daiwa Zillion Daiwa Steez Daiwa Alphas If it's not Shimano or Daiwa and made in Japan it shouldn't be on thus list.
I actually don't dissagree with this list. If you're looking at price to performance it's pretty good. Some Daiwas deserve to be on this list but overall pretty good. I'm not going to fault you for not putting Metaniums, Steez, Anteres, or Aldebarans on this list. They're well over the $350 max price point this list is clearly targeting...
SHIMANO micro module is very smooth reeling feel but for sensitive gear Noise in the reeling after a short period of time. for that have wisdom japanese anglers
It’s the illusion of choice. How many different baitcasting reels do we really need? Apart from the internals/braking mechanism, everything else is just the materials and cosmetics.
Quantum Smoke HD. It's a total package. For $199.00. Rock solid. Shawn.

He did mention the Sheemanno Cron arch.
Diawa would have to break the top 8 in any credible list of best bait caster Diawa Tatula for the win!!!
I like my Pflueger Presidential XT, Kastking Sparticus, and the Kastking Megajaw

Not having a Shimano Metanium on the list I just can't find your opinion valid. Some of these choices are just plain bad.
