Are the handle knobs the same size on both reels?
Handle length on the models we have are the same but the US model knobs are about 25% larger... specifically longer and a little wider at the end on the US model.
Sweet!

Re: More Bang for the Buck : The Shimano SLX DC Baitcaster Series

I recently bought a SLX DC for fishing bladed jigs. I also have used a regular SLX for over a year or so. After comparing both I prefer the cheaper SLX. I can cast the SLX further than the DC in most situations. The DC is a little easier to cast into a strong wind because I don't have to use my thu...

Re: Shimano Lowers the Price Barrier to DC : Their 2017 Scorpion DC

Why is this reel being compared to a 70 size reel? The frame is clearly the same as the 200 Curado and Scorpion. That is why it weighs more.

Re: Daiwa Re-Images Their Stalwart : Zillion TWS

I wish it had the flip hood like the T3. It would have a lower profile and you can instantly engage the spool. The cool factor is a plus too. I think you are in the minority when it comes to liking the hood. The reel only lasting 2 years proves this. While I liked the shape of the reel I did not li...

The 5.5:1 Zillion is not available in a lefty. The JDM version comes in a left hander though.

Re: Shimano Continues Their Roll : Chronarch CI4+

I am glad the Chronarch has a non clicking brake knob because I feel like I can make micro adjustments. One thing I noticed though was the knob turned too easy so I removed the knob and put a little plumbers thread sealant tape on the threads. Now the knob stays in place much better.
