Nothing can touch Shimano. ... including the repairman once the stocked parts are gone due to shimano's strategy of forced obsolescence. Love my Stradic FD and FJ though. Great reels.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Daiwa Fuego. Tons of line capacity for the size, small and light for the size, tons of drag and mag sealed. This seems to be a very very thought of reel that hasnt gained the popularity of some others yet. I never handled one, but a few guys I know who spend serious time on the water think highly of them.

A baitcaster is not a spinning reel.

If you are not wanting to spend hundreds, the Penn Battle 2s hold up and cast very good and made for braid. You can pick them up for under $100 on ebay often in $60-70 range.
I have about 20 from 1000 to 4000 size. In larger sizes I have gone with the Fin Nor and they are rated as one of the top salt water reels. They are under $100 or so in the 50-60 size. This is the best advice on this whole thread. The Battle 2’s give you the most value for the money. The more expensive reels might give small increases in functionality, but demand very large increases in cost. Good Luck.

Between the Penn Battle III and the Daiwa BG, which is a better all round reel? Flip of the coin?

For the VERY BEST quality Stella is IT! Regardless of which model Stella you get they are AWESOME! Expensive but AWESOME. You definitely can tell the difference between this model and anything else on the market.
