Re: Daiwa SV103 vs Zillion SV TW
If I'm not mistaken, the Catalina TW also comes with the bronze "Hyper Digigear" as well.

Re: New 2023 JDM Reels
Daiwa took down the link to the SS Air. Perhaps someone hit the "upload to server" button when they shouldn't have. Hopefully we'll get an official announcement soon.

Re: Daiwa limitbreaker
Phone app is used for logging stats and to push software updates into the reel (new braking modes, etc). It's not used to operate the reel.
There's a button on the palm side plate to select the brake mode (currently 4) and brake strength (8 total) using short or long presses.

Re: New 2023 JDM Reels
The spool is not symmetrical. Curious what changes Daiwa made to the braking system. https://www.daiwa.com/jp/resources/fishing/item/reel/bait_rl/ss_air_tw/__icsFiles/afieldfile/2022/12/09/SS_Air_TW_85L_002.jpg I like the redesigned palm side plate. https://www.daiwa.com/jp/resources/fishing/item/re...

Re: What is your rod for tiny cranks ?
I just received my Yamaga 82/B. Great price on Digitaka so I could not pass it up. Great quality as expected and exceptionally lightweight. Does not feel like a 8ft+ rod when handling it because it is so light. I plan to use it in the 3-10g range. Can't wait to try it next weekend.

Re: Daiwa Alphas Sv TW 800s
I was able to take mine out for a few hours today. Spooled it 8lb Berkley X9 braid. First thing I did was open it up and installed a clicking drag from Sagisi Customs. The spool weighs 12.7g on my scale, so very similar to the normal spool. I threw lures from 3g to 7g. Handled them fine and effortle...

Off the top of my head the Okuma Celilo kokanee rods. There's an 8 foot UL and L powered casting rod. https://okumafishingusa.com/products/celilo-specialty-rods You can also look into casting kokanee trolling rods from other manufacturers. There are also ajing casting rods that are long but typicall...

Re: Steez SV 103H ticking/clacking sound when casting
The pinion should not be engaged when casting.
I would check the palm side spool bearing first since you already swapped spools with the same result.

Re: New 2020 Shimano Metanium
Can't find the posts about it but some said that even with the drag backed off all the way the there was still considerable drag pressure on these reels. I just got on another one in from Japan today and it had the same issue. I break down my reels when I get them to add bearings where applicable a...

Re: Rays studio inductor plus a type r inductor spring on sv spool
Hard to find good performance spools for the OG Zillion. 100M spools gets snatched up as soon as they're posted for sale. I just ended up getting spacers.
