Has anyone tried this reel? An online fishing site (TackleTour, I think) has compared it to the Shimano Stradic and the Daiwa scored higher in total overall score.

I ordered a couple of 4000 size to use them for salmon and steelhead fishing, but I'm having second thoughts as they're quite heavy and large at 14.3 oz, 300yds 10# line capacity. I wish they had a 3000 size, which would be comparable to the Shimano's 4000 series.

If you have one, let me know what you think of it.
