I think you have already convinced yourself to change. You just need reassurance on the spool cap situation.

I went all faint when I saw the price for the handles lol.
Good idea. Keep the 3000'S and grab the Shimano's. I'm sure they'll gain in value and could be a good future investment so to speak.

keep them. yeah shimmys are smoother but, do you have issues with your drag cap on your SS? does the line keep getting stuck behind the spool? do you think you'll be issue free with shimmys after 10-15 years?
spend the money on your SS3000'S get them a really thorough service.
choose daiwa
choose ss3000
choose life

Get your reels serviced by Garry at custom reels my serviced tourneys where better than my ISOs until I had them serviced.
Seriously I'd rather PENNs than shimanos

I'm keeping the Daiwa can't be dealing with this spool clicker issue etc as someone mentioned will these newer so called better reels still be working well in 20+ years we just don't know we do know tho that the SS3000 more than likely will,will keep my eyes peeled for some older shimano's tho for another set 😎

Can also vouch for Garry at Custom Reels. Does an incredible job.
Did 2 sets of SS3000 for me. Gave me a bell on phone to describe the internals and the work he was doing.
Came back feeling like new.

From memory it's about 30 quid a reel but if you need any replacement springs, washers, bearings, grommets etc then that's extra. He does the best line clips too imo. About £13 per spool from memory.
