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.

It has already been proven on more than one occasion in this thread with specific examples. Your refusal to accept it is of little consequence to me.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Don't feed the troll! To give my input on the original question posted, I just ordered and received a JDM Steez TW1012SVXH. The reasons I went with the JDM version is:
1. I wanted the higher gear ratio not offered in USDM
2. I wanted purple highlights to match a custom I've having built
3. I will be using lighter line and wanted the smaller spool not offered in USDM
4. The JDM version TW1012SVXH comes stock with a 90mm handle

Matt does great work. I think you will be happy with that one.

You'd be gone in a heart beat if it was up to me.
Reading what you have posted took away roughly 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back, there's no debating on that one (yes only 5 minutes because I skipped most of the other posts you spewed) but I'd rather see a positive to every situation, that being said, what you posted was rather funny and a great source of entertainment during work hrs, and that, to the detriment of time lost.

Wow your job must be very difficult and time restrictive if you're on TT during your wotk hours.
Bye, Felicia.
