Straight out of the box I like the Daiwa, it feels and looks to me like a better quality reel but it does weigh more. I do prefer the satin finish over the glossy Shimano. Being fussy the Stradic has a little more in and out play with the spool and also in the handle. Both are beautifully smooth when winding and the drags feel great.

Yeah the Daiwa's chunkier and Lx I'm going to fill them both with 10lb Cortland braid.
