daiwa reel on shimano reel seat

[kunia13]

Someone mentioned that there are some fit issues daiwa baitcasters when mounted on shimano rods with ci4+ reel seat.
I'm particularly interested in Adrena/Expride + Steez SV fit.
Thanks

Not that I know of. Pretty much all low profile freshwater reels can go on any manufacturer's rod. That's why so many use the same brand and/or style of reels seats. The Ci4+ is a unique design to Shimano, but I assume if my Chronarch MGL interchanges between the same rods my Steez A does, then their similar dimensions would allow the Daiwa to fit fine on the Shimano rod. I also fish with a guy who had Daiwa reels with a few of the Zodias rods throughout his lineup.

Any nicks in the reel seat from interchanging? I like to keep my gear as spotless as possible and some reel seats can be damaging to the paint on reels.

There are slight fitment issues with Daiwas reel feet and Ci4 reel seats. It's a tight fit. Right now I have my PX68 on an 18 Poison Adrena. I've tried every Daiwa reel I have on my Expride as well. My 09 Aldebaran fits both rods like a glove, but Shimanos reel feet are slightly smaller. You won't be able to crank down the reel seat hood as far or tight with a Daiwa reel. Still works, but I'm already getting scratches on the PX68 reel foot. I would never put my custom painted Steez SV TW on either rod. My experience, ymmv

It's doable. Just know that eventually the reel feet will get dinged up a bit. I actually struggled with it at 1st, because the reel seat hood won't tighten down to the point where it's flush and gapless. I try not to pay attention to it and just fish

Never had issues with my alphas on an expride, however, I only tighten the locknut/foregrip enough to keep the reel secure and from moving. There's always a gap in the reel seat.

Yup, can confirm there's some annoyance with the Adrena+a daiwa reel. It also destroys the paint on the reel's foot, even when taped with tape.
