1. Td-ito
2. Airy Red Pixy
3. Monoblock (Topaz) - and that says something because I'm not a fan of round reels. :!:

Type R 103H

I'ZE Light 103

TD-ito 103M

No particular order. I have had a Pixy Airy Red and Alphas R Edtn, both great reels for slightly different overall techs, but neither struck the same cord with me as the other listed reels.

Of course if I had ever owned the Type R+, TDZ AOI, Ring SLC or SSS, or Zillion HLC or Deps, or a Monoblock or Bespoke...my votes could be 100% different.

The underlying spirit of angling,Is that the skill of the angler,Is pitted against the instinct and strenght of the fish,And the later is intitled to an even chance for his life...Regards Hardb8.

Dang that Wajima really takes the cake... Are the handles bearing supported with ABEC 9's? I wouldn't want to have to upgrades for that kind of money... :lol:
