Re: What replaced the Pixy?

With all the shallow spool options on many different reels, it's tough to make a standalone finesse reel.
I don't think anything would replace an actual pixy.

With aluminum gears, the HG may be a safer route for longevity.

Re: New Steez TW ALUMINUM for 2017 !

The A have 8+1 Bearing , the Knobs have 0 bearings or have the Wormgear 0 bearings ??? The prototype that was examined at The Tackle Trap had zero handle knob bearings. It's relatively inexpensive, and very easily remedied, but still surprising nonetheless. It's possible that issue will be addresse...

Re: (Help)Daiwa SV question: related to spool only?

Re: Metanium MGL problems

Have you investigated inside?

Re: high speed level wind upgrade

Re: Full story on Daiwa Real Four?

Never had the engine plate screws strip. Seems more likely poor maintenance from someone tinkering with their reels and then passing to someone else. Spot on... tightening these ting threaded screws well past the original design parameters. Once stripped... New frame or bigger modified screws. LMAO...
