Daiwa's Viento Reel continues Team Daiwa's technological dominance in the field of building innovative reels. While the Viento is loaded with exotic features that have become standards for Daiwa, the Viento brings something never seen before in any reel built to date; the Twitchin' Bar. This unique feature allows you to pick up the slack in your line without ever touching the reel handle. With the flick of a switch the spool spins and picks up as much as 20" of line! What this means in real life is that you can be shaking a worm or hopping a jig and instantly, with the flick of your thumb retrieve your slack line and shake, hop, or crawl your bait further without using your other hand to crank in line. The Twitchin' Bar will also allow you to crawl your bait; press the bar slowly and retrieve 4" of line to inch your bait along the bottom. This one-handed operation will give you more control over you baits and increase your efficiency in everyday fishing situations.

Viento also brings you the other great Daiwa features that you'd expect in a reel of this caliber; Magforce magnetic anti-backlash control; ultralight, perforated Free Floating Spool for instant start up even with light lures; Super Drag for fish fighting power; Titanium Nitride line guide for smoothness and long life; and one-piece aluminum frame and sideplate for strength and durability. Viento means wind and this reel is a breeze to fish with!

Comments: I recieved my reel a few days ago and put it on a 7ft.-6in. heavy powered Diawa Tierra piching and flipping rod with 65lb Power Pro braid to use for fishing frogs . I was impressed how far it cast and its easy to adjust. I woulld give this reel a 9 on a scale to 10.

Comments: Just purchased this reel last week and I so far have used it twice at local golf course ponds. So far this reel is amazing, smooth as ever, casts great, its light, fits your hand and the twitchin bar is pretty cool. I used it with senkos last night and got a decent bass right away. I give it two thumbs up for sure, Daiwa makes a good product so I know this one will last. Cant wait for spawning season when I can throw a jig with this thing on the beds and piss em off!

Comments: Just recieved my reel in the mail yesterday. Got to say so far I am impressed with it. Put in a rod and man did it feel good. I just wish my wife would let me buy another one.

From: Jeramy: Russellville, KY

Comments: Best $90 i ever spent. Great real, silky smooth in every aspect, i wish all my reals had twitchin bars. I would rank it up there with the Curados, and thanks to TW its half the price.

From: Harry: Chapin, SC

Comments: This is my first baitcaster, extremely easy to learn on, and use. I've backlashed a few times I'll admit lol, but I definitely recommend this reel for beginners, and anyone wanting an easy reel to throw with.

From: Chris: Panama City, FL

Comments: If you enjoy an adult beverage while fishing, this is your reel. You can hold your...soda...while still working your carolina rig, jig, or texas rigged buzzbait. I call this reel the MEXICO SPECIAL because that is how I fish when I am down there. Ole!

Comments: I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED WITH THIS REEL.  HAVING USED TOP QUALITY SHIMANO REELS FOR A LONG TIME.   I DECIDED TO TRY THIS REEL BECAUSE OF THE SALE PRICE OFFERED BY TW.  I REALLY THOUGHT I WOULD NOT UTILIZE THE TWITCHING FEATURE.   BUT TO MY SURPRISE IT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE.   A GOOD REEL, AND AN EXCELLENT PRICE THRU TACKLE WAREHOUSE.

Comments: I own one of these and have never had a problem, the reason people are having trouble is the side adjustment is very sensitive one click on dial will do wonders for backlashes, no need to get to crazy with the adjustments.  casts very light tackle with ease.. I will be buying more for this price..Its not a Steez so dont expect that performance..

From: Mike: Fresburg, CA

Comments: Got mine for Christmas paired with a e21 21 Carrot Gold Carrotstix. That's a winning combination. Can't wait to try them out this weekend (supposed to be 60 degress this weekend in Virginia). Thanks Tacklewarehouse for the great deals on these two items!

From: David: Winchester, VA

Comments: This is an extremely good deal. If you don't have a Viento yet, you cant beat the deal at TW. It is one of the smoothest reels I own and the twitch bar is pretty nice for finesse fishing. The reel is a lot smaller and lighter then you might think. I have it paired up with a St. Croix MOJO bass 6'6" jig and worm rod, its one of my favorite setups. Tremendous deal!

From: Daniel: NC

Comments:  i own 2 of these reel's and fish the heck out of them with absolutely zero problem's for 3 year's! go figure? i don't think luck has anything to do with it. upkeep may be the answer, ya think?

From: Wes: Salinas, CA

Comments: This thing is great for first timers! This is my first baitcaster and it's a lot of fun to use. I love it.

From: Chris: Panama City, FL

Comments: Highly underrated reel, I use it for pitchin and have never had a problem. The Twitchin bar allows you to slow it down. It is also great when fishing in cold weather...Fish with one hand and the other in your pocket...

From: Rob: Fairfax, VA

Comments: Best reels I have owned and have had them since they came out.  I have 4 of these set up and count on them all the time.  They are really a tremendous deal!!!

From: David: Carp, Ontario Canada

Comments: This reel is hot garbage...I've never had so many bird's nests. I think its broken now too, I hear parts rattling around in it or something grinding...For the price you should be able to beat the crap out of it.  I have several revos and other abu garica products and a couple of shimanos and they are way better.  This product has really discouraged me from purchasing any diawa product...Especially because they are so expensive.

From: Robert: Davenport, IA

Comments:Great real for the money, I've got 4 of em..

From:Dave: Gilroy, CA

Comments:I bought this reel because I wanted to try a baitcaster reel and read many times, you get what you pay for. Well you get more then what you pay for with this one.

From:Juan: Stevens Point, WI

Comments:I got this reel with the Cielo rod, heavy 7'. awesome setup...I've gotten so use to the twitchin bars too since I started with the megaforces...works great especially when your fishin with one arm and a beer in the other:)

From:Zoo: California, USA

Comments:Just got my new Diawa Viento reel. Nice reel with a cool feature. I caught a couple of spotted bass the first trip out with a finesse worm and jig setup using the twitching bar. Made it easy to control the bait's movement down the bank and across the bottom. I Am ordering another now!

From:Bob: Hendersonville, NC

Comments:Today I was fishing a small local pond and this very large bass kept swimming back and forth. Long story short, I threw everything in my tackle box at that fish, and it wouldn't hit anything until I started to work an Ocho with the twitchin' bar. It wasn't the ocho that made the difference, it was the twitchin' bar. Turned out to be about a 5.5 or 6 lb bass and the reel handled it flawlessly.

From:Richard: Iowa, USA

Comments:Great reel, really smooth, a bit on the heavier side but the twichin bar is nice on soft plastics and jigs, prefect on a all around rod.

From:Joe: Chicago, IL

Comments:What a reel from Daiwa!. Great for slow presentations, great lure control from the Twitching bar! I have mine paired with a Carrot Stick and spooled with Seaguar fluorocarbon and it gives me what I need to feel em and sockit to em!

From:Michael: Ripley, TN

Comments:When I first started fishing I had tried buying some cheap bait casters and found myself disappointed every time, so I stuck with spin cast reels only. I finally decided to give it one more shot and got one more bait caster. I was a little apprehensive about spending $200 on a reel that I figured I most likely wouldn't like: however I bought the Daiwa Viento and honestly can say I couldn't be more satisfied. The old saying you get what you pay for really proves itself in this instance. The only thing about the reel is the twitchin bar, this feature doesn't inhibit my ability to cast or anything: however I don't really see the need for it.

From:Larry: Macomb, IL

Comments:My son, who has Down's syndrome, is my fishing partner. He uses the Daiwa Viento - likes the twitchin' bar. Have only owned four other brands, but these reels are the only I have been able to set the casting control to prevent overruns for him. This entire line - Zillion and 50th Anniversary are quality machines.
