No the Symetre is made by Shimano not Diawa.
I looked at a few Diawa but I was once again disappointed by the quality for the price.
i admit to owning a shimano finally after all these years, a shimano conquest 400, but for all other applications, id choose daiwa.
you like cadillac eldorados, i like ferrari f50s. its all down to preference.
the reasons i choose diawa baitcasters and spinning reels over shimano every time are:
daiwa is lighter weight
more bearings/smoother
smoother drag
better ergonomics
better styling
just feels better in my hand.
however, for round reels, id choose shimano conquests, epsecially the dcs for the 100 & 200 series.
