Some time back I bought a Fenwick Methods Bait Casting Rod. A great versitle rod that comes in five pieces and can be made up into any of  4 separate rods each with a different power and action. I use this same rod to fish for trout in Wyoming as well as Bass in Texas, I just put it together differently for each situation. However, I have had trouble finding a quality closed face reel that fits it. At first I tried a Zebco Omega Pro3, (a quality reel), but the foot is to thick to fit the Fenwick. Other reels fit but didn't have the quality I was looking for. To make a long story shorter I finally happened on this Daiwa and it fits the bill. It's foot is thin enough to mount on the Fenwick and it's a quality reel like the Zebco Pro3. I gave it 4 stars because the line it came loaded with wasn't so great. Even though the write up billed it as a good professional line. Well, not compared to the Trilene fluorocarbon line I replaced it with. Also there is a lot of play in the drag adjustment dial but it functions. It doesn't have as smooth a feel retrieving line as the Zebco but this observation is a pretty picky one. So, all and all I'd say it's a great real and I would recommend its purchase. By the way my Abu Garcia Revo SX fits on the Fenwick fine, (it also has a thin foot), but it's not a closed face reel. Hey Zebco, why are the feet on your reels so thick.
