Opinion on Daiwa Reel

[Fish'n Phil]

Has any one used a Daiwa Regal Plus Bait Runner reel? The Shimano Bait Runner is probably the gold standard but how about the Daiwa? Thanks!

The gold standards are the Daiwa Tournament Basia 45QD and the Shimano Aero Technium 10000XT or 12000 XTA.

I have the standard regal bite n run,,,,they sent me this instead of the plus.....Not very happy with the standard version,,,the rotor has play in it,Every time i set the hook theres a sharp knock,rotor, dosent feel like itll hold up..Its sitting on the shelve now.
