Hello everyone

Would be interested to know your thoughts please on the Daiwa sportsmatic x, Daiwa longbeam st3000h and the shimano Ultegra Xta reels please.

Currently have the sportsmatic after selling some PM4000h a few years ago. After something similar size but a little lighter and without the bait runner option.

Does anyone have any experience with the Longbeam st3000h or the Shimano Ultegra Xta?

Daiwa emblem S5000t, with a qd conversion and a proper line clip.
Light, great retrieve ratio, good cranking power, and durable.
I have been a shimano reel lover for ever, but these reels are exceptionally good.
