Thanks for the info...

But what is the screen name of the official Daiwa rep?

I would like to use the spool in a lefty reel...

Will it work properly in the lefty reel?

Without any changes?

The BCR 803 was my favorite jig rod.

I would also like to know the line capacity of the Metanium. I don't have any immediate plans to sell, but I would also like to know the appoximate va...

bearing count is deceiving to me. my old chronarch 101a is smoother than the 12 bearing pflueger supreme. dont let bearing count be you deciding factor in getting one reel over another. if you wouldnt mind telling us the reels you are comparing curado. I recall the old days of transistor radios whe...
