Comments:First thing that came through my mind after using the Advantage was "Ok, and what's the difference between this reel and the Zillion?!" If you want a Zillion, but pay 100 dollars less, you have to get the Advantage. Is a superb reel.
From:Andrew
Comments:This reel is awesome! I love the swept handle, and the drag is spectacular.

Comments:Couldn't imagine a better casting reel at this price point.
From:Drew USA
Comments:Hey great Daiwa reel by far for the money. I use mine for pitching jigs @ Reelfoot Lake! I am using it on a carrot stick with Seaguar Fluorocarbon and the combo has a great feel for all day use!
From:Michael: Ripley, TN
Comments:Pound for pound the best reel in $200 price range. I use mine for flipping and I have no problem pulling 3-5 lbers. out of some heavy cover. I matched it up with a 6'9 Daiwa Zillion MH action rod. Reeled with 15 lb. Seaguar fluorocarbon. 3/8 oz. jigs mostly. When fishing clear water, this setup with cast a mile without any backlash even into the wind. Extremely versatile! A+.
From:Ronnie Jr.: Fort Wayne, IN
Comments:Spectacular reel, your getting this at a discount price basically, holds a ton of line, and you don't even have to put your thumb on the thing when you cast. The swept handle makes this reel feel as smooth as a 400$ reel, take it from me, it's well worth your money, just give it a try, it'll be your favorite reel within a week! From:Zach: Michigan, USA
Comments:Best reel out there! Better than my zillions even! Smoother than silk, casts great, light, strong drag! Very solidly built reel, been using it for a year now and it's still going strong! Better than the green curaod! I only have one complaint -- it's a little wide, kinda hard to palm if you have small hands, but it's very well worth!!!!
