Re: Daiwa SS Air TW

Aldebaran has 1 bushing in worm gear, I've added it and have not noticed much difference. When i replace 2 bushings with bearings in worm gear in daiwa's with t-wing i always notice improvement.

Re: Spy Bait Reel - High End

I have 2 spinning reels , 19 vanquish and 20 Luvias (not airity) and when it comes to lightness of rotation vanquish is better. Luvias does feel smoother. For spybaits i prefer vanquish due to better line management with fluorocarbon. I think daiwas magseal on main shaft impacts winding resistance t...

Re: New 2021 Daiwa 月下美人 “Alphas” Air TW PE Special

Is GekkaBijin spool behave same in Alphas air tw, not sure if there is any difference between magnets of both reels. I thinking of just getting GekkaBijin spool for my alphas air instead of buying GekkaBijin reel.

Re: 2022 Daiwa Silver Creek Air TW Stream Custom

Surprised it is priced higher than gekkabijin air, i don't see any improvements , if anything it is downgrade due to less bearings.

Re: New 2021 Daiwa 月下美人 “Alphas” Air TW PE Special

I also like the look compared to my alphas air tw, mainly red accent pieces on adjuster and handle base versus black plastic. So main changes are cosmetic differences, new spool, 12 bearings vs 6, drag clicker, spring with felt washer at the spool bearing (silent tune?), PE line only, gear ratio 8.5...

Re: Anyone buying the Alphas SV TW over the Zillion SV TW 1000?

I got the Alphas SV TW. I was mainly I intrigued to see the parts compatibility with my Alphas AIR TW. I also found the specs of the Alphas SV TW for my ML to M needs quite well. The extra money wasn't worth it to me for the Zillion and my uses. I should add I was hopeful that the 32mm spool would ...

Re: Daiwa Alphas Air TW 2020

For people who have the clicker, how do you like it so far? Does it work on the same principle as one in steez ct? And how does it compare to one in steez ct?
