Great info Wade. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge/experience. I'll go check out that Daiwa reel.

Wahoo, sounds good. I get back from Vegas Friday night, but I'll be up for launching anytime after 5:30am.

Trent "the lizardfish king" Chapman! Glad you got a taste of La Jolla!

A absolute gem of a reel for throwing iron, ranked #1 in several fishing mags in the Torium by Shimano. Bulletproof, great drags, excellent casting. Its not Avet but its also 1/2 -1/3 of the price to. Depends on what jig stick to pair it with but I got a 9 ft. Seeker with a Torium 16 and can throw a half mile with that thing its seems like, sitting in a kayak.

When we going out next? Text me and let me know what works for you and TicYakToe.

Evan, I'm pretty sure Mr. TikYakToe caught more lizardfish than me last Thursday in the bay. I plan on going out to LJ Saturday morning. I get back from Vegas Friday night.

I'll check out the shimano and compare the feel with the daiwa. I'm not as concerned about price as much as a good reel that won't cause me to lose a fish. But if the shimano works just as well as an Avet, I'll check it out.
