I’m holding out for the Stradic DC

SLX DC.

Daiwa Tatula 100 or the Shimano SLX.

I'm ready for a Zillion based off the Steez A with brass gears. They can do a 1516 HD Zillion line from the current Zillion HD with the recessed mag dial side plate. They can even do some mill work on the flat top portion of the frame like the old TD Zillions had. I wouldn't mind two different Zilli...

You bring shame to Shimano.

Lookin at a future purchase reel to match with a Dobyns DX746c preferably in the $250-$350 range. I’ve got Daiwa’s and Shimano DC’s and wanna see what the next tier level of reels has to offer. I will use this as a heavy cover jig rod and creature baits. I’ve looked at bantams and zillions and also...

I posted pictures did you see them? How can I measure it without having to just stick it in and guess?

Thank you. I found a handle just have to get a star and other parts. I’ll start hunting one the spools. What all spools will actually fit this platform? I found a box with a black spool I believe came from a zillion Type r I bought off here a few years ago. See if it fits. If you're lucky it will b...

Definitely not a TD Zillion stock spool. If it fits a TD Zillion then it is a TDZ 100 spool.

It does look like a 105 spool though. Those are 34mm if I am not mistaken.

How do th...

Daiwa owns the Globalride brand. While the reel is not a Daiwa reel the seller can list it as a Daiwa Globalride to get clicks.

All of them. The reel has been in production in some form since it was introduced. There aren't generations or different platforms. There is just the Alphas. It would be akin to saying that to apply to the Curado namesake. I'd dare say that there would be clear definable series allotment of product...

True classics never die. See: Daiwa Alphas.

Which series and year of manufacture?

HLC spools pop up from time to time for around $100 or under TYD. I picked one up recently for my IP68 and love it. It will dump a full spool for 65# braid in an instant throwing a frog.
