"Upgrade" or not?
« on: December 30, 2014, 04:30:07 PM »
I'm currently fishing with the Daiwa Emblem Pro 6000's, very happy with the reels but there is a possibility to upgrade to the Daiwa Windcast Z. Is the Windcast worth the money to upgrade or not? The reels will be used for specimen angling only.

Regards

Hennie perhaps try posting in the Freshwater section. This board is for heavy rock and surf grinder fishing so most of us checking your post would not know which end of a carp is which :hehe:

To me the facet of fishing doesn't really matter, I just want to know if the Windcast Z is worth the upgrade over my current Emblems.

I think what they're saying is that they don't know those reels and can't advise on which is best as they are more into saltwater fishing with grinders... :dunno:

I've decided against "upgrading". Unnecessary waist of money as there is nothing wrong with my Emblems and they've never let me down.
