i have the daiwa, accurate and shimano spinners in the sizes that are being discussed here. i currently fish all 3. i prefer the daiwa's over the stella's but it's just a feel thing and only for casting. the accurate feels a little bulkier in my hands but once i am hooked up to a fish that reel instills me with confidence. the drags are smooth and i feel if i ever land a big tuna on a spinner i would want the accurate to be in my hands when it happens. i have even started to use the accuate as a chunk reel with 80lb spectre and a 50lb flourocarbon leader. i caught 4 on this outfit chunking on my last trip and although they were small 60 to 90lbs that reel when combined with a 50/80 graphite spinning rod got those tuna to the boat fast. now if i had to have only one of the 3 it would be the accurate due to the fact that i prefer to fish heavier gear. now if i was in a casting contest the daiwa would be my go to outfit but only because of the way it fits my large hands......rick
