yeah I moved some spools around last night, have a few PG's and a few NRC's, a SLC Deep, and in once case an R+. I have two RCS 1016's but they are in two good setups, TDZ 100ML's with spacers and 7.1 gear upgrades for my SwimBait and SwimJig setups. But I could pull them and go with R+'s in those p...

Liking the 21 Zillion, but in some cases I am finding the Boost Spool lacking for line capacity, ie for larger braid or or fluro. Heck I just about emptied the spool on a cast to clear up some loose braid loops the other day :(. Assuming the common Daiwa 34mm variants, ie Steez 100H, TD-Z V-spool, ...

Yours shouldn't be rubbing on any of the tdz. Shouldn't rub on the old steez (pre TW) neither. If it does, you might be missing a shim under the bearing on the palming side plate. I believe this is the issue - the bearing had been replaced by a previous user. I have fiddled with the brake side and ...

Thanks, will check it out! Does seem more likely

So, I have an older ZPI RC series 34mm Spool for Diawa, and I've noticed the inductor rubs on pretty much any reel I tried it in, ie several TD-Z and Steez variants. I also have an older Diawa/RCS Spool that does the same. Then I ran across the below statement on a JDM auction listing... It can be i...

Is there a real difference between the old and new Steez A ? Something about the new Steez makes me want like it more than the previous version but I can’t say what it is exactly Something Tim mentioned about Shimano vs Daiwa breaking that I can’t remember verbatim but experience recently when cast...

Searched back on this, but mostly found thread comparing different PE lines or PE to PE diameter, etc Recently purchased a reel that is PE line rated (Morethan) and the line capacity is confusing... It's rated for PE#1.5(US PE20lb, JP PE30lb)-200m, 0.21mm(US4lb, JP6lb)-200m(220yds) I'm trying to spo...

Tried to search for this but having trouble finding it - For converting the TD-Z and it's variants to a swept handle, do you use the thin (PX Type R) or thick (Steez) handle collar? I want to say the thick one, but wanted to confirm. thanks.

Well I rolled with the Zillion G1 SV spool today, it was like throwing through molasses lol. I guess I am used to R/R+ spools/tuning, so that SV spool really limits casting in the Steez A. Had to basically drop the dial to 0 to get any sort of decent casting distance, and the spool could get a bit f...

I put the RC001 spool in, and it drags a bit...ie when you reel the handle you can hear/feel the side of the spool dragging on the sideplate. Brakes are set to 0, so not sure if just a tolerance issue, as it should fit with no issues. Anyway, I also have some TD-Z Type R and R+ spools, and several Z...

I don't know if it's me, but this combo is a nightmare to use for some reason. Have it setup with 40lb braid for a swim jig rig in the grass, and I've backlashed it to the point of cutting out line the last three times on the water :(. Now, I am no pro, but I don't backlash reels very often, so I as...

Trying to convert my IP to fit 34mm spool. Are these still around anywhere? Does anyone here fabricate them? I've been looking for some for the longest. Help a brother out! Thanks! TackleTrap normally has them, but appears to be OOS at the moment. Give them a call they can probably tell you when th...

Stock another vote for the J-Dream. a tad heavy and 36mm spool (plus JDM limited release) keeps more people from enjoying this reel. Tuned, I'd put the various TD-Z's up against pretty much anything though. Same profile, magnesium so lighter, 34mm so many, many spool options and you can make it do a...
