google Terry Edmunds he has written some articles
but in nutshell he reckons any bigpit reels will do fine, the rod and line make the most difference after the ability of the caster of course.

Shimano ultegras are good casting reels for the money

Thanks All. I'm not looking for advice on casting. I'm looking for information on the casting comparisons of carp reels.

read post 2 and look at Terry edmunds
he can cast as well with daiwa windcasts as top end shimmies

we all get caught in bling
any big pit reel spool size for size is the same for line capacity etc

Take a deep breath,

We have lots of time take some of the members advice & have a read.

I can only think there is something very subtle your missing or we are.

Someone's missing something
Op asks for comparisons of CASTING REELS so I suggested he Google's Terry's article, in which he covers Daiwa and Shimano casting reels,
Buggered if I know where the confusion is unless it's the casting bit

There are videos on you tube,shimano did one about how line lay can improve distances.Daiwa say 45mm spool gives better distances due to the shape of the spool.I don't think anyone has took a range of different reels out and done a side by side comparison and filmed it though
