As an FYI, in a previous post the author of that teardown speculated that SH weight difference was due to an Aluminum gear. Should we have been smacking him around?kolp wrote: Nice find! A big slap in the face for the doubters and misinformed speculators....
Daiwa puts these same gears in sub $150 reels and selectivly advertises it. You won't hear a peep about it on the Daiwa USA website or on the side of the reelkolp wrote: Hyper digigear is Daiwas top tier gearing made of marine bronze. This is one of the key differences that sets the Morethan reels (spinning and baitcast) apart from their siblings.
..there is no way Daiwa would advertise the new model as having Hyper Digigear if it didnt. Anyone who owns Morethan reels know that this is the main selling point of these reels.
Yes BronzePolkfish1 wrote:Fellas; I’m trying to learn about and enjoy tackle here and am losing the message among the slapping. Unfortunately I didn’t get as much out of that tear down tutorial as someone who knows the reel guts well would. So it is made out of the bronze, right? That’s the conclusion? A yes/no, other will be much appreciated. Thanks

The author of of the teardown article owned an OG Morethan (as do I), he also owned a Steez A (as do I), niether of us bought the reel becuase it had Hyper Digigear. (I bought mine because it matched the MB Destroyer) Many people (including Alan Hawk at one point) had no idea which digigear was which.
However, XH is 205 g,
Red Fang TW Hyper custom is the same weight as XH.
I wonder if the gears are the same.
Because the material of the gear seems to be pretty stuck
It may be different.
That means SH is a duralmin gear,
XH is divided into winds called brass gears ...?
New morethan has the steez frame. It’s smaller than the HD and palms quite a bit differently. I’m fine with both platforms having fairly big hands but I’ve really become fond of the way the steez (=new morethan) platform palms. The previous morethan model is the same frame as the HD (I believe).Dustys60 wrote:How much difference is there between this reel and the zillion hd? They look alot alike. Is the morethan smaller?
ok lets make this clear. the morethan 8.6 is bronze gears, the 7.1 isn't . I have seen the tear down pictures of a 7.1 morethan in another group and they are in fact the same G1 Alloy gears as found in a Steez A. The article referred to in the links shows a 8.6 morethan.DirtyD64 wrote:I saw the pictures that prove the gear isn't aluminum, scrolled down from the provided link and read the comparison of Steez A versus Morethan PE SV TW and he included pictures of both. What are the benefits of bronze versus brass? It looked from the pictures that both reels had a clicking drag.
This makes me wonder about ordering those gears for a Steez A... If they ever went out that is.
My bad, still good either way, 8.6 is getting fast though. Still though, not really sure about the differences/benefits of brass versus bronze or aluminum. Brass is mainly copper and zinc depending on who produces it. Bronze just has more % copper I think, not sure it is always combined with the same other metals, again depending on what grade and who produces it.BARRAMANIAC wrote:ok lets make this clear. the morethan 8.6 is bronze gears, the 7.1 isn't .

Bronze is copper with tin . And is a harder material than brass.DirtyD64 wrote:My bad, still good either way, 8.6 is getting fast though.
