Shimano Sidestab Spinning Reel
My 15 year old Daiwa has a broken "anti-reverse cam spring". I'm going fishing
this weekend and I won't be able to get a replacement spring in time for the
fishing outing. It's a Daiwa 1055 model with auto-cast and rear drag. The guy
at the repair shop said it was a very good reel in its day and was worth
repairing (I know, what else would he say?!). Anyway, I don't want to spend a lot of money on what would be a replacement
reel and I wanted to find one with auto-cast and rear drag for under $50.00,
preferably around $30.00. The only one I could find that is readily available
in my area is a Shimano Sidestab. Anybody have any comments, pro or con, on this reel?Thanks,
Sylvester

| The very cheapest Shimano spinning reels are still good reels. The Sidestab
should serve you well. Mark McCoy<br>

| I have always wondered what kind of idiot game that reel it's name. RichZ©

| It has 3 features that I've come to love--autocast, rear drag, and quick
release spools. I picked one up yesterday and it's awfully smooth for a $30
reel. |

| Excellent. I figured Shimano was a good brand, thanks for the input. Sylvester |

| It is a strange name. Perhaps it's supposed to be describing the hook-setting
action? Although I can't see the huge role the reel has to do with setting the
hook. |

| Don't know if they still do, but tat the time that reel came out, all
shimano spinning reel model names began with the letter S. I think they
just ran out of suitable S words. RichZ©
