Daiwa Silvercast-A Series Spincast Reel Customer Review

A fisherman who was looking for a light action spin cast reel for fishes less than 5 lbs. examined about four different types of spin casts including the Daiwa Goldcast and Silvercast, the Zebco Omega and Omega Pro. According to him, The Zebco Omega was too heavy, but he was surprised to find that the Daiwa Silvercast was cheaper and better than the Goldcast. For one it was lighter, it has a bearing on both the main shaft that keeps the spool in place and on both sides of the main gear, which is not on the Goldcast. Also, he does not like the clicking sound the Goldcast makes during retrieval.
He went on to compare between the Daiwa Silvercast and the Zebco Omega Pro Z02, and chose the Daiwa Silvercast for two major reasons: While the retrieval angle on the Silvercast is 25″ per turn, that of the Omega Pro Z02 is only 14″ and the Silvercast costs only about 1/3 the cost of the Omega Pro.
Furthermore, another customer who had owned many Zebco spincast reels said that he has been searching for a high performance brandable reel and decided to try out Daiwa’s Silvercast Reel. He adds that he was not disappointed given its high quality and durability.
You now have a broader idea of the Daiwa Silvercast-A Series Spincast Reel in case you need to purchase it.
