Poorly made which is unfortunately the truth I love Daiwa reels but this has fallen short. Properly cleaned and showing signs of corrosion after 2 trip. Purchased some Penn slamers at the same time and they have left it for dead. Ontop of that trying to get the line to lay flat on the spool is a real hassle

Very nice reel! I recently purchased the Saltist MQ 6000 and was impressed with the build quality. This 2500 size doesn't disappoint. I've yet to put either of them to the test but they are as great looking, stout, smooth as any of my Shimano reels. I may be tempted to switch. Diawa has a few more reels with the MQ design that would directly compete with all of my Shimano reels.

Fantastic reel. Throw big poppers for tuna before they sink out. It casts great and handles the bigger model tunas really well. Paired with a phenix Megalodon popping rod 8’ 30-100lb

MQ 6000 is smaller in body than previous 6500, but doesn't mean its bad. Drag is not as strong as in previous 6500, but only by 2-3 kg. very smooth, well made. Definitely worth money
Bought as a gift. They were very excited about this reel, though to be fair, it is exactly what they wanted. I got a chance to help add the fishing line, and the spinning mechanism is very smooth and easy on the hands.
I love this reel, very durable and holds up great to the elements. perfect for inshore big tarpon fishing
Don't expect bells and whistles, this is a no-nonsense beast of a real. No reverse/anti reverse switch and auto return on the bail arm. At first I thought this was not good until I remembered that I never use them anyway (less useless features, the less that can go wrong). This real has plenty of power and a super drag. Thus far, I can't fault it.
First larger Daiwa spinning reel I’ve bought. Has done great on surf and nearshore and has pulled in multiple slot to overslot/ bull redfish drag was smooth as butter the whole time. Reeling is smooth and crisp. Bail arm has a very crisp and secure sound when engaged after a cast. Aesthetically it looks pretty good too. Would buy another and probably will down the line to add to my surf rods.
Hooked 3 tarpon in Boca Grande & landed one the first day of use (8000H). 50#braid-60#mono leader. Highly recommend due to it ability to smoothly allow as much drag as needed when needed. Did not feel any flex in reel at all, and reeling during fighting & drag were smooth!!
These reels are fantastic, but sizes - of actual body, are completely off. Previous generation saltist 6500 is far larger than MQ's 8000£. obviously spool is deeper but because of body handle arms are smaller
