Shimano Ci4 3000 or Daiwa Emeraldas 2508PE- DHsize both perfect for squid. Other than the price difference, is the quality and performance of these two products comparable?

hey buddy have a look at the mx this would have to be the most crisp rod to use it is so much fun casts a mile with the right reel Thanks mate!
