Hey all,

My dad and I are just about to set up the boat again with some new light tackle reels and are also about to enter heavy tackle for the first time. The main use for the reels will be marlin (tournament fishing and casual). So we've been choosing between Shimano Tiagra 20's and 80's OR Daiwa SLT 20's and 80's. We are leaning towards Tiagra for their great reputation here as Daiwa is not a particularly big brand, yet they're cheaper and appear to have great specs.

Any help is appreciated, thanks

Reece
