Daiwa Seagate Conventional Reels make use of a corrosion-proof composite frame and side plates to house a rugged, work horse gear train. The aluminum spool starts fast but is kept in control by the centrifugal brake system. Seagate is a great, all-around reel at a very reasonable price.

Daiwa Seagate Conventional Reels Features:
  • Three CRBB corrosion resistant ball bearings plus roller bearing
  • Anodized aluminum spool
  • Corrosion-proof composite frame
  • Rugged brass gears, helical-cut for smooth, powerful winding
  • UT Carbon Drag System
  • Centrifugal spool brake
  • Dual system Infinite Anti-Reverse

I absolutely love these reels and I fish them hard, they are a true workhorse. I bought the 30 size and paired them with an 11foot surf rod. These reels cast a mile, and are built well enough to stand up to sand and salt in the surf. These reels have caught several red drum, 5-6foot blacktip sharks, multiple stingrays, and a giant jack.

Line capacity, casting distance, solid drag, and overall easy to maintain are five stars in my book.

This is the first of many. I have it paired with a 12’ SlimeCat rod. This reel cast like a dream. My only con is the handle it just feels cheap. A rubber or EVA handle would be nice. Great reel for the money.
Cons
  • Plastic Handle

Absolutely terrible company for saltwater reels!
December 3, 2018
Had mine for a year and so did a friend (bought at the same time). Within the first month had a grinding in the ball bearings. I don't do any beach fishing at all so i assumed that i got salt inside of it and cleaned it to no avail. A week later my friend's reel started doing the same. Now both of these reels were thoroughly cleaned after each use. Luckily another friend of ours knew a Daiwa rep., and we got all of the internals replace for free. Upon receiving it the worked great.....for about a month again..... I went as far as to replace the "sealed" ball bearings inside with ceramic ones i bought online, which did help, but has not totally absolved the issue with their crappy bearings grinding and locking up.

I bought this Reel for surf casting in Texas. Wasn't used to casting conventional reels. So there were some growing pains but more than likely it is a user error haha
anyways, after I got the hang of it.... best reel I have ever owned for surf casting! at almost 20lbs of drag... it has ZERO issue stopping the fish im targeting with this reel.
Pros
  • -Looks great
  • -casts great
  • -excellent braking system
  • -durable
  • -strong drag
  • -BUDGET FRIENDLY!
Cons
  • - I only have one.

  • Lightweight, plenty of drag, smooth operation.
Cons
  • None of note.

Another Great Reel from Daiwa
April 7, 2015
I own a Sealine 20 SHX and was going to buy another but decided to give this one a try. No regrets. I like the narrower spool for easier winding and casting distance is just as good (if not better) than my Sealine, Star drag is smooth as well.

easiest casting reel I've used in a long time
September 15, 2014
This was my first daiwa reel. I was skeptical about it because of it's small size and graphite frame. When I got it home, I disassembled it. I was quite impressed with the internals of this reel. Brass alloy main gear and stainless pinion. What really blew me away though, was the drag stack. Daiwa's tournament carbon drag washers are massive!
First time out, I spooled it up with 30 lbs braid, probably close to 400 yards worth. First cast with a 3 oz spoon on a 7' tiger lite, got an easy drama free 75-80 yards. This thing is a rocket! It casts so easy and the centrifugal brake works so well, that I handed it off to my wife who has never messed with anything but a spinner, told her the bare basics of how to cast, and to just touch the rim of the spool when the bait hits the water. She managed about a 50 yard cast with NO BACKLASH!
Retrieve is very smooth and lightning fast, drag is very progressive and plentiful. Brought in a 25 lbs gag grouper with no drama whatsoever.
Ive got probably 20 different reels that I choose from whenever I go out on the boat. This one will always go with me because it is an absolute pleasure to fish with all day!
Pros
  • very easy to cast
  • fast retrieve
  • strong tournament drag
  • light weight
  • easy to fish all day
Cons
  • haven't found any cons yet

Great reel, very smooth. Works very well for diamond jigging because of fast retreive.
