The Daiwa has much better cast drag control- again, a little more refined and advanced than the newell's more basic design and features.

My vote, especially for kayaking, and all around usability would be the Daiwa hands down. If you have a more specific need- like strictly throwing surface iron/ megabait, go with the newell.

going to replace my jig master 505 on my jig stick.looking for a tough smo0th casting along with lo maintanence reel

Diawa Sealine with the Upgraded Carbotex Carbon Fiber drags is hard to beat.

They cast__________________________{100 Yards}_______________________________a long way.
