Daiwa Emblem X/Z reels (Advice?)

Dan Bruce · May 3, 2004

Hi

I am just about to buy some big pit reels due to a change of water. I was looking at daiwa emblems, does anyone know if they are they any good?

Any advice would be a great help!

I had a set of EMX5000A's

Very well made, fantastic line lay etc
A tad heavy.
Sold them to make way for Shimano 10000XTE's.
May well look to get another set soon for the same reason as yourself, but may well look at the Shimano Power Aero XT 10000, with the built in front drag/baitrunner, a bit pricier though, retail at 299.99 but you can pick them up for 210 each
It's a blinder

there's only one thing wrong with the emblems, they don't have a baitrunner facility.

These reels sound good.

Do they also cast well as the shimano ones do? My mate has biomasters and they cast like a dream.

Thanks for your help.
