We’ve seen that some anglers are Abu Garcia aficionados whereas others like Daiwa products and stick to buying them all the time. The Abu Garcia Orra has stainless steel guides, and it’s a medium power pole, whether you decide to go for the 6-ft 6-in one or the 7-ft one. In case you haven’t noticed, the Daiwa option isn’t available as a combo, at least it was not when we analyzed it. You have to buy the pole and the reel separately, but even so, they are more affordable than the Abu Garcia combo. The Daiwa rod has aluminum oxide guides and has been built out of Im-7 graphite, so it’s pretty lightweight. Also, it’s a 2-piece spinning rod unlike its Abu Garcia counterpart, which is a 1-piece pole.
