My Chronarchs(not MGL) have no issue casting a 1/8-3/8oz ball jig with a 3" swimbait(Matrix Shads). Shouldn't have any problems at all casting those Keitechs with the Ch MGL. Thank you. I used a friend's Ci4+ for a while during last tournament and he had a Santone 5/16 finesse jig but that would ab...

I understand completely, I just call an alphas that because I am new to this and did pay the extra price. Also all the new Daiwas are majorly based off one another to save money with minor changes to justify price jumps (still love them all). I just wanted to know from an owner of a curado 70, Chron...

Didn't want to add a whole new thread for another question, but was wondering after trying to search the forum and find it... My SV105 easily casts an 1/8oz road runner with a 2" crappie grub (with 8 or 10F), I don't HAVE to be able to do that with the new reel I am hunting, but would like to know t...

Is it bad to be left and use right handed reels? Figure I could use both...

Also what was the price after shipping if you don't mind? Those have the Finesse Tune Brake just like the Aldebaran BFS right?

Last question then for now, this goes for either/both Daiwa and Shimano, will they still warranty Japanese reels? For example my SS/SV103 is full Japansee instructions. Would I send them to the place where I would send my Tatula or Ci4+??? Thanks again for all the answers, I don't know how many ques...

Reel: Haven't honestly had a bad one, maybe Revo Winch because the brakes began to stick out making casts like 15ft, but fixed it by locking those and only using 2 other blocks, and thumb bar sticks. Rod: Bass Pro Carbonlite, original black ones, bought for like $50 supposed to rate down to 1/16 spi...

Thanks for the info, I read for a long time in the warranty section, I read positives and negatives, but never found an outright answer... How does Shimano's service compare to Daiwa's? If I buy a $280 Chronarch MGL or $300 Zillion SV or another SV105 can I expect the same support? I am not done wit...

I am in a pretty large aluminum boat 95% of the time, I will probably add a TW setup with 30lb braid (something cheaper, don't use topwater a lot) and buy this current reel for a 6'8" ML Lew's Custom Speed Stick Topwater rod, I know that makes no sense, but for finesse swimbaits and smaller texas ri...

The old Zillions are definitely something special, if the sale persists they will be on my list of possibilities too. I think I bought my Zillion TWS reels on sale for around 155 though and they have been worth it for sure, I cast 3/16 jig heads w/ a 3.3" or 3.8" Keitech plenty far on them (as long ...

I am looking to complete my reel collection, I have: an SV105 on a ML TFO dropshot rod (finesse), an SS/SV, a Zillion TWS7.3, a Zillion TWS9.1, an original Tatula Type R 8.1, Tatula HD 7.3, BB1PRO 7.1, and a Revo Winch. Spinning includes a Gen 1 Revo Premier, Stradic Ci4+, and a new Revo STX20. I wa...
