Have a Lew's Orange Crush for the wife and it's no comparison to my Tatula SV TW's.

The answer to your question may lie within, go to the classified section and you will find probably 10 or more Lews to every Daiwa for sale. I don't have any sales data but I feel fairly certain that Lews doesn't outsell Daiwa 10-1. Then ask yourself, if the Lews are so durable and great then why are people constantly selling them? I've owned both, Shimano as well. Once I was done culling the herd I found myself left with 16 Steez, Zillion and Tatula SVTW's. The rest are now someone else's babies/problems. Just my

Been through several varieties over the years. You will find more Daiwas on my rods than anything else now. I still have a few Lews and like them for heavy baits like big cranks and swimbaits.

If you like compact reels go lews. Even the newer slimmed up tatulas are a bit bigger than others. If you want one to last go daiwa.

Every combo I own is Lews + Kistler. Not saying it's logical, just what I personally have confidence in.

Daiwa. I switched about a year ago, and love them. My clients constantly comment on how easy and far they can cast with them.
