I have been going back and forth on getting myself a Diawa Ninja reel for ages. Its had rave reviews on here and elsewhere but the thing is every time I pick it up and give it a spin I just don’t like it !
A local shop currently has a good offer on the 2000 model and once again I was tempted but then picked it up had a play and just could not bring myself to buy it. Its like I am trying to convince myself but I just cant. I dont know what it is…its got a sort of thin & slightly cheap feel about it.
Next to it was a Daiwa Revros (I dont know how widely available that would be in the UK) a Legalis and a Shimano Nexave…they all just felt better to me and with a very small difference in price. The Revros in particular felt ALLOT better but then again I have been fooled by reels in the past based on how they felt in the shop and regretted it later.
I was interested to know what people thought.
