Re: 2023 Steez A II TW series in Saltwater?

Re: GLX 892s vs 893s

I have a 892s and I use it mainly for ned rigs in areas with light grass to no structure, in thicker grass or rocky areas I prefer my baitcasting setups, also it bombs 1/4 oz lures like crazy, I have a 2500 size reel on it

PE Spools

Hi everyone, I have a question about PE spools on Daiwas SV reels, how is the braking actually different compared to the normal spools, I tried searching but the info was scattered and or with the older spools. What are the differences with these newer gen spools. Thanks for the help.

Re: Ordering Phenix X12 spinning rod

I was too in the market for that rod, I messaged Phenix about it on instagram a while back and they told me that it would be in stock in a few weeks but that was months ago now and its still been out of stock since then.

Hi all, I am trying to find a tdz to buy, but before I buy one I had a few questions on parts compatibility. I was looking into handle upgrades, star drag upgrades, and internal upgrades. I have searched the internet for more info but info is hard to understand clearly. I come from using the newer d...

No that is the new 22 Zillion TW HD While I agree about Shimano paint generally being tougher, especially in SW...that appears to be a Zillion HD in your pic? Ummm....that's kinda what I just...

Re: 22 Zillion TW HD

The paint started bubbling next to the spool. I am at a breaking point where I might give up on Daiwa reels just because of the paint… even though the performance is awesome. Never had an issue with any shimano reels paint bubbling, even the magnesium reels.

Re: 22 Zillion TW HD

Yep I own a gen 1 steez a, definitely bubbles. IMG_6110.jpeg I see... it seems like the paint is similar to the steezes when fished in salt... it starts bubbling... I have read about some Gen I Steez A that had this happening with use in SW, however the paint on the 2019 Morethan PE SV is thick and ...
