Everybody I know fishing Daiwa BFS likes their aftermarket spools better than the Air/PE spools Daiwa supplies.

I'm really curious about the brand Loongze. Their round bfs reel looks like a tank with all that clean machining.

If you are on the fence, I recommend getting it. If you get a RH and a color other than silver and decide it isn't for you, post it for sale here and I'll probably buy it off you.

Friend handed me his “just out of curiosity“ buy the other day - the Soloking Acura. I expected hot trash but in the end I was blown away how smooth, non-geary, nothing-weird it performs. Spool is fast, retrieve nothing to complain about. You get a lot for 40 bucks. Just feels like a cheap frame th...

Don't ask... Bitcoin is finally running again though at least.

Took the Zillion TW with me to Venice Louisiana earlier this fall on a Redfish trip. It put a whooping on some big bulls and didn't miss a beat.

I agree with those that think the frame is based on the Steez A/SV TW.

Most of the replacement spools with the narrower axles have slightly smaller spool pins also. It seems to make the spools have some ability to rotate forward and back a bit when the handle is held in place.

Daiwa put out teaser vid titled "The future is coming. Are you ready? 03/04/2022" on their Facebook page. Just shows a dude in a tux, a briefcase, handcuffs, and a helicopter.

Interesting...

No reason to hate. I enjoy a lot of the Googan Squad content. Some of it is intentionally silly, but a lot of it is better than the fishing shows I watched on TV growing up. It reminds me of growing up fishing with my friend and family and occasionally doing dumb things. I don't have much interest i...

He had the same kind of cancer my wife does. No cure. Very depressing. RIP to a legend.

The RCS 1012 & 1016 spools are good for that. The Zillion SV spool is good as well, as are the ZPI spools.

How tight do you have your spool tension set? Does adjusting it make any difference?

Has everyone else received their Zillion preorders? I ordered a RH 7.1 in January from TT and still haven't got it.

Congratulations Teal! I hope you find more time to fish than I have since the birth of my girls.

Just look at those plastic handle nut retainers. Wtf Daiwa.

The nut retainer on the Salamandura looks fine to me. I have plenty of other styles already.
