My buddy from japan went last week to pick me up some Daiwa SLP stuff at the Yokohama show. She said there was nothing new at the Megabass booth I would be interested in (she ly'n LOl)

Love the red on the rod and im a sucker for evoluzion blanks. Im sure to get a couple, at least.

Thank you all for your advices :) Still...I know it is a specific jig and bottom rod...but the review that Cal made it reveals that is a subjective way to fish this rod with other baits and it depends how the angler is going to get use to it... I have also seen a MB F4st-69rsdti, witch has also Ex-...

I'll see in 2 weeks when the rod is arriving... I will try it with spinnerbaits and 10-12 cm minnow wobblers (jerkbaits)...as long with jigs of course. I really think that the tip its going to be very important in moving baits others that the jigs. :) I wouldn't even attempt any moving baits with t...

ugh what luck. It almost seemed rigged, LOl You not seen the videos going around where they claim a defensive player had the quarterback and turned away? Also claim the defender of receiver blew the tackle and ducked on purpose... I don't believe any of it, even though there is another conspiracy g...

And not just Jack in the Box either, Lol

i agree, just call Gary and he will set you up.

Could be the ones you saw had a non-factory modification, maybe Toshi had that done himself or perhaps the person who had them originally really liked him.... Im no Daiwa expert (reason why Im here asking) but that's totally possible a few people had his name screen printed on the handle. Thanks fo...

Ones I've seen has just been a print of T. Namiki Limited on the handle side plate, and Bass or Die on the knobs. The new Steez has the Bass or Die on the handle (not the knob) http://www.daiwa.com/jp/fishing/item/reel/bait_rl/sv_light_LTD/index.html The ones I saw had "T.Namiki" screen printed on ...

Lol thanks, bro. I knew they did.

ETA: ugh I cant find one on ebay. My buddy says no pic = it doesnt exist, LOl

Hi guys. Does anyone have or seen the Daiwa TN version that has "T.Namiki" signature on the handle? My friend, a long time so-called Daiwa aficionado said there is no such thing. Personally, I have seen them multiple times up for sale on japan auctions and almost bought one, but didn't because I alr...

I like it, C-dawg

Sexiness aside, which is personal preference, the new Steez platform blows the old clean outta the water in terms of both comfort and performance. I'm not sure how anyone who had used both could argue against that. I get some folks don't care for the T wing. I was hesitant at 1st as well. Wouldn't ...

Combo looks sweet. Knock off of a Daiwa TN Comes with PE line, too. Its like those Shishamo reels that appear on my Facebook page. Something like 36 ball bearings, frame molded in 100% carbon fiber, Lol.

Thats a tight rod! And boulder is great place to try it out, too.

That ninja setup is great for private golf course here in the valley, early in the morning, in the cover of darkness

Im being serious, guys, LOl. Its just my personal experience with the 2015 Aldebarans. i put a lot of hours on them, from early spring throughout summer and early fall. Couple issues: drag (spools slips during popping/jerking resulting in bird-nesting) gear slippage and casting noises, clutch not en...
