Check Shelton's Clothing. Pretty sure they still have some Daiwa and 13 fishing.

I bought a couple off Amazon and I have been very happy with them. (My bait casting skills not so much, I was excellent when I was 12-15, a remember fishing with a local pro as a kid and him saying “Jesus Ben to you put you bait 2-3 inches off the timber every cast.” I apologized as I thought I was doing something wrong, and he told me, Hell no so I have fished with pros less accurate than you are today. I am just embarrassed I am getting out fished by a 12 year old” ( I fished 10-12 hours every day all Sunmer) If I got within 6 feet I would be lucky now.

Anyway the reels work great. Doblyns I paid less than 30 bucks.

Walmart has the Lews for $60, I have several of these and they have been fantastic.

Temu I’m afraid to say actually has the best deals on quality baitcasting reels and rods. 1/4 the price of those same Dobyns reels on Amazon.

Yup.

About a decade or so ago, the major OEMs like Doyo, Daiwa, and Shimano thought it would be a good idea to move low-to-mid tier reel manufacturing to China.

Now China has everything thing they need to copy parts, manufacturing, etc. to sell ‘decent enough’ copies on Temu or AliBaba.

That Tatula 80 is a hell of a deal. I would jump, but I don't use what I have now

It’s a perishable skill but one you can develop. Tie a weight on the end and throw to structures in your back yard.

Once I bought a reel I could reliably skip worms with I practiced with a nylon weight to ride the drag
