Re: Daiwa SS Air TW
What about that gekkabijin? Same platform but with a more distance oriented braking profile and PE spool.

Also check your magnet rings to make sure they rotate when adjusting the dial.
Re: New GLX
Loomis has a captive audience of 55+ that will pay full retail no questions asked on Tackle Warehouse or their local shop like Hank Hill buying a car. https://youtu.be/4oaEfBMA7AE?si=Mgu9peemOnD6FYWe Yep...that's why Shimano purchased them. I guess they wanted Gary's secret resin blend as well. Hey...

Re: Are you using any Chinese manufactured reels?
Avoid plastic frame chinease reels with aluminum gears like the plague. If you do get a chinease reel when get one with an aluminum frame and side plate with brass gears.

Re: All new steez sv tw
I remember that. They added some 5 year service contract to justify the price increase for the USDM Steez CT.

Re: Daiwa Steez AGS QC
You guys doing the pickle jar crank with your wrist twist or just taking the finger tips and turning the lock nut? I used to do the pickle jar crank until I cracked a cheap rod decades ago and switched to the finger tight method. Never been a problem since. Finger tight, I think it’s just the qc/ma...

Re: Daiwa Tatula MQ LT.
Or maybe, just a maybe, they sell the ones that not quite pass QC or B grade from brand name manufacturers. I would think twice before spending money on higher end reel or 200 and up from this market. I’d rather spend 20-30 bucks more from Japan vendor just for a piece of mind. It's the same stuff ...

Re: Daiwa Tatula MQ LT.
What I don't understand is why I can buy USDM reels in USD on Aliexpress for way less than anywhere in the US. A lot of counterfeits on Ali. Not reels though. They'll put SHIMANO on a ad for some chineasium reel and the reel itself won't look like any Shimano reel. They also will borrow styling ele...

Re: New Shimano Caius casting reel
Looks like a new plastic platform to replace the old Casitas platform. This particular reel looks like the bottom of the barrel version like a Bass One but at Casitas money. Hard pass.
