Re: New Steez A II vs High End Shimano’s
Casting distance Shimano vs Daiwa? This is a whole nother can of worms. There are some big time Daiwa distance spools that I would put up there against anything Shimano has to offer.

Re: Best all around Daiwa Casting Reel ?
I think the short answer here is anything that utilizes a 34mm spool. Pick your platform and form factor and have at it. Plenty of BFS and mag finesse spools, tame spools for wind or target casting, max distance spools etc. Plus you have all the fun colored SV and ZPI spools. These 34 mm spools can ...

Re: Choose a rod brand
I am not sponsored or brand loyal so I dip my toes into many pools. Old School OG Era MB are right up there with anything top shelf. New MB not so much. Evergreen is certainly up there as well. For more easily sourced rods higher end Steez, Loomis GLX/NRX, Shimano and Phoenix K2 are all up there. I ...

Re: Bfs bait caster recommendation
Get the Geb. Should be around $100 less than your budget from Digitaka or a similar shop in Japan. I have tons of reels from various eras and this was a home run out of the box by Daiwa.

It is not BFS unless you are casting a chicken feather

Re: Daiwa SV103 vs Zillion SV TW
Ha. Sorry. I did not notice the date of the old post. Beautiful SV103s you have there. I use ZPI in mine too. Or should I say, I have ZPIs in my SV103s as I rarely use the reels. I do not think I used them at all in 2021-2022. Hope for time to give them a workout in 2013. Appreciate the kind words....

Re: Daiwa SV103 vs Zillion SV TW
Thanks for all the input. I have decided on the Zillion SV TW for now mainly due to it being lighter, further caster, and I like the knobs better. 8-) I own 2 of each reel. The zillion casts better (longer distance) and does a little better with light baits. However, difference in casting length an...

Re: BFS Reels
I still have and love love love my SS Air. Its built on the OG Steez platform, as is the SV Light. I sold my SV Light only because of overlap/redundancy. Still a great reel. I also have the Alphas Air TW. It is a much smaller reel than either of the the other mentioned. It will do down to 2 grams w...

Re: Aldebaran 22 and Avail spool?
Maybe its just me, but i was trying to throw some 2 gram spoons on a couple different rods, both UL, one jdm one cdm, and both were giving me issues. whereas the gekkabijin on the same rod had no problem with them. right now i have it paired with a ray tarantula and have it dedicated to 3-4 gram sp...
