Re: is Daiwa tatula still the reel to get?

I'd add $50 and grab a 21 zillion. But don't do it if you don't want your tatulas to feel very bleh afterwards.

Re: 12mm Handle Bolt

Only saw them through PLAT. Why not just install a 10mm bolt with a 10mm bolt retainer? A couple of my bigger reels with bigger handles look kind of funny with 10s. Meh, i have large handles as well, its fine. Nothing new that i am aware of uses 12mm, so finding them is gonna be a difficult for no ...

Re: If You Sold all Your Fishing Equipment

I'd buy a 21 zillion from Japan for $220 in the 7.1:1 ratio, a two piece Expride, a vision 110 and call it a day 8-)

Re: All new steez sv tw

The older Air reels had the 32mm spools (alphas air, t3 air, ss air). Wonder if their spools are compatible with the new steez.

Re: 34mm Mag Z Boost Spool Now Available

I don't understand the concept of this. A standard magz spool, in most cases, is already a long caster. They have stiff springs that retract the inductor reasonably quickly, allowing you to bomb baits pretty far. By having a two stage braking force, the 2nd spring is so stiff that the spool might be...

The Daiwa 21 Alphas SV TW 800 is a sweet little reel built like a mini Panzer, you can swing both ratio's on Amazon for the price of one pixy.

Pixy does have a cult following.
The cult that follows it expects colors and style. This is a fake pixy [-(

Re: Wanees decal kits

The decals may be good on those beater reels with paint chips and dings that look like they have been drug behind a car on a gravel road. A much cheaper alternative to a new paint job or cerakote. I'd say its pretty good for new reels as well. If you have a nos td ito that you'd like to use, these ...

Re: Wanees decal kits

Very interesting. I'm not sure that I want my reels to look like an engraved shotgun, but those look thick enough to provide some protection. There are a ton of different colors and textures. And i am pretty sure that these were originally introduced to protect your reel from scratches since these ...

Re: Bearing cleaning in ultrasonic cleaner

Would be nice if you could post a short vid. Because i have been doing this for a while now, and unless the bearing wasn't in great shape to begin with, after an ultra sonic bath, it shouldn't become much worse than it was.
