This will be a fun thread to watch and read ........ but IMO it is too broad .....
However getting into the spirit of it ....... All round Daiwa
Best spin range (most best in class)
Best baitcasters (best mid to high end)
Best rod range (best high end spin & baitcast rod)
Certainly the best light to medium tackle .
Though if I was to buy a game reel it would be Shimano . A fly rod it would be Sage.
I have no trouble with looking at some reels from Pflueger , ABU & Quantum ....... plus others in certain specialised areas.
Now do you include G Loomis as Shimano .
As I said too broad to really answer without a bit of tongue in cheek
