Daiwa<br />
You make an excellent point, John.<br />
The need for service and parts does arise, now and then. Getting parts for no-name equipment can be dicey, and there is a lot of it out there. I own plenty of it, and I consider most of it throw away. Sometimes its repairable, but often not.<br />
But stuff like these "underspins," as Daiwa calls them, welk, they've been around for decades. Parts and information are both out there and not hard to come by.<br />

I've learned that most of the makers today contract out their manufacturing, usually to China and Asia. Its just an unpleasant part of the business. Common families within products exist, and parts are often common as well. Shoot, whole systems, like reels are, too.

So I tend to look within PRICE POINTS for equipment and find the $25-50 dollar range adequate. Most tasks I put tackle to doesn't require more, especially when panfishing. Leo, I haven't touched it.

Leo, I haven't touched it.<br />
What you see is the way I received Jr.<br />
<br />
Functionally, it is flawless. It has a nice tight feel. Last season, one of my favorite<br />
reels was the little brother to this one, the 40X model. Early use suggests this one may very<br />
well follow suit.<br />
<br />
We shall see.
