Comments: I also used one of these in the eighties, was near top of the range back then. Durable, reliable, a pleasure to use, especially on the fish we call snapper here in New Zealand. My ex missus liked it so much that she stole it when she took off. I want another one (Daiwa Tournament, not missus).

Comments: This reel is a throwback from the eighties.  There is spool wobble.  The external bail trip encourages the user to flip the bail manually.  There is no instant antireverse.  And yet I still own and use all three that I purchased over fifteen years ago.

Comments: I have three of these. The first one I bought in 1984, a SS1300. That real is as good today as it was the day I bought it. I have two 1600's as well. Simple, reliable and great looking.
