Daiwa Strikeforce- Picked up two of these at academy today for $24.88 apiece. Has anybody used these? They were on final clearance. I figured if I don't like them, I'm only out $50. Just wondering if they are any good. Thanks!

not bad little reels. You didn't get hurt any.

^yep. Good reels for that price. I've owned 3-4 of them and never had an issue with em.

I own a couple, I use them for back-ups, not bad for the price!

I had one about 3-4 years ago. Right away it grinded when cast and then handle spun backwards on a fish. I trashed it and never looked back. Maybe new ones are better. It seems daiwa and abu have crappy lower line models and amazing high end models no middle.
