I 100% agree with you about the Daiwa Luna's. I have 4 of them and when they are new or "fixed" they are pretty dang nice...cast great...smooth...but jeeze I am blow out the anit reverse on one of those reels in ONE day. I have done it MANY times.... I just sent my 4 in to get fixed and I will be selling those and running all Shimano in 2010. I am so tired of getting a reel fixed only to have it break with 4 hours of using it...and with the price tag that Luna's come with, I would expect a better product.
