Currently using 14000xtc after retiring my 10000xt and they are just as smooth and line lay is still a thing of beauty.
I do understand the feel cheap comment but i think this is down to advanced materials used now. Xt felt robust because of the metallic material similar to the tournies and ss3000 hence their continued popularity.

Superb reel , I regretfully sold my Silver XSC's on to purchase a new set of rods as I had collected a few sets of Techs .
The XSC's do everything beautifully , cosmetically I prefer my Mgs XSB's though , the reel just looks more compact , the drag knob is super slimline but sticks out a little on the XSC , my thoughts only though cos I'm a tackle tart

To be the best carp reel ever made it has to cope with every situation , long distance fishing with the iso is a pain because of slow retrieval rate , therefore wouldn't even be in my top 10 , I currently use my 14000 Ci4 xsb ultegras for my long range fishing , I'm talking 300 yards plus

Would not be in your top ten because you're a shimano user.I sold my isos as I'm fishing an old sand quarry,I now own the shimano power aero 14000 xtb and they feel utter ***** compared to the iso.I bought the power aero as I won't mind if they get wrecked

Reels are so subjective, i use both shimano and daiwa reels and have no bias to either make, i remember buying some iso's after they stopped making the xt tech.
I took them both out on a big reservoir numerous big casts retrieval etc and in my opinion the iso wasn't in the same league no where near as smooth even though the tech was nearly 10 years old, the tech felt far easier on the retrieve and just better made, but i dont think many reels are made as well as they used to be.
Im lucky the main set of 4 i have have been serviced several times and garry at custom reels said they are in the top 4 sets he has seen condition wise, and i also have a mint unused set of 3 still in boxes, plus several spares that lot should see me out!

I own both Daiwa and Shimano models ! Had a set of ISO's , couldn't stand the ***** retrieve and one of them was rumbling badly so got shut
So what has the ISO got that the Power Aero hasn't ? First time I've ever seen a power aero called ***** Mind you I expect no less from a Daiwa fanboy like yourself , go get another set of Diawas so we can all be happy

The power aero feels cheap and nowhere near as well made as the original iso.I did not want to ruin the iso's so sold them on.I am not a daiwa fan boy at all but you have to turn it into a slanging match as usual you ****ing bellend

Boom...
There goes another perfectly good thread...
This was nothing to do with Shimano Vs Daiwa, simply about which Technium is considered the best.
