Daiwa Steez Reviews
Actual Customer Feedback:
"Since Shimano decided not to be a part of the reel trade in at Bass Pro Shops I ended up buying a Steez over the Stella. The Steez to date has perfomed with excellence I have not had with 3 previous model Stella's, and for the price difference V/S perfromance I may never again buy a Shimano product."

"I have alot of Daiwa spinning reels from the Theory to the Certate and now I have added the Steez to my collection. By far this is the best reel that they have come out with in a long time. It is light weight and very smooth."
