Yep, you have to have a metanium pinion, curado main gear of the same ratio.

Thanks, Dan. I have an old Citica that I'm pulling out of retirement.

Anyone know what trebles evergreen international uses on their jdm cranks?

I'm not sure, but they seem to hold onto fish well.

Do the US Pros beat around the bush avoiding talking about the reel or is it random footage they just had lying around 🤷🏻‍♂️ This video was made for Japan, not the US. The American guys are just in it because of the facial recognition factor. US tourney guys are like full-on celebrities over there.

Thanks eveyone for your input. I pulled the trigger on the Daiwa Catalina. I'm not sure if it has brass gears, but I couldn't pass up on the price.

Yes, brass gears.

I guess that's dependent on how many gorilla's you put into the cast.

I had 2 Z200H's with loose inductors, they made funny noises but casting wasn't all that affected other than the noise.

The few reels that I've seen with a loose rotor came to me with a spool full of birds nest.

Inductor come loose?

He said it's not affecting the casting, so this is doubtful. If the rotor cup popped loose, the reel would blow up the entire spool of line on the first cast.

BNT 2394 isnt available anymore, right?

Hey Dan, is there a comparable or direct replacement for this bearing?

That Ito is sweeeet!

Because of the smaller diameter of the collar around the a/r bearing, some of the stars designed for the Steez/Zillion/TDZ leave a gap and look funny imho. The Steez EX and PX-R stock stars have a tapered edge and look much better. Just my 2 cents worth....

Oh yea sure today is the day i learn all daiwa reels are jdm design reels and daiwa is a Japanese company. :roll: What i meant is those were tweaked from JDM versions to move as high end jdm style reels for north american market. Not sure I see your point. You seemed to say that JDM reels didnt sel...

The spool bearing is somehow stuck inside the reel frame. It takes me taking the reel off the rod to remove the spool from the reel. I think that the bearing housing needs to be shaved but I’m not sure how to do that. It’s starting to frustrate me because I have an identical reel that I can put the...

No, the SLPW drag stars dont work on any Pixy except the PX-R.
