2011/12 Daiwa wish list

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

I'm easy, Just give me an Alphas 103 or Sol WITH a zillion style clicking drag star. Anything else that reel needs I'll do myself.

And of course that!

After looking at my collection (not as big as many on here) I wish they would bring back the a lighter version of the TD-X or TD-S HSD reels. Even though they were heavy, they sure did fish well and handled a wide range of baits.

Aaaii Cap'em...I am always on the lookout for truly "minty" 103 HSDFs...superb reels that are well under the radar! :-$

A shrunken down HSTA (make it about the size of the Zillion or something) without compromising gear size would be fine with me.
