Daiwa Ryoga

The Diawa Ryoga is a decisively elegant piece of fishing equipment. It is billed as Diawa's smallest, but most powerful round reel. It is full of every feature and improvement Daiwa is capable of. From "Micro Pitch Mechanical Brake" adjustment, to a beveled line guide, to the highly unique drag clicker (when line is pulled). It looks tight and feels even tighter with no gaps or discernible play in the moving parts. It is quite the looker with an intricate design and unique angles. Coming in at only 9 oz the 1016 model shown here is a great little package if you are looking for a very compact, powerful, round bait caster with a healthy dose of class. I can't promise you that you will cast farther, catch bigger fish, or pull stumps out of lakes...but I would lay a bet that you will completely love this gem of a little reel.
