I stand by everything I said and/or speculated upon in that blog post, in that this Daiwa BG MQ 4000D-XH spinning reel is a truly fantastic bit of kit which I like more and more the more time I spend with it

Because the spool spins, using the weight of the lure and the anglers motion to pull it out, any change in speed can have a deleterious impact

I fished minnows, lures and cut bait with this combo no problem

I can easily remove the side plates on the Penn Slammer and Authority reels I fish with - not so easy on any Shimano I have come across (doable though) - but apart from the odd lets have a look at whats going on inside and quickly close it back up in case something important springs/jumps out!, to be perfectly honest I leave these parts on a spinning reel alone and simply do what I do before I fish with a new reel and again if/when it might sound a little raspy (check this blog post out for these details)

It is obvious that the bigger and more powerful the fish you are after, the stronger and more robust the reel you will need
