I would be cool if daiwa would bring a reel to the table that's as light as the 70 in that price range (about $160 on the the big auction site). Alphas/SV105, sadly it is leaving, I could see them have some PIXY TWS variant on the way. I know it doesn't make sense because their larger SV reels cast...

Zillion SV is an awesome reel , honestly it is one of my all time favorites . Casts amazing with upgraded spool bearings and the drag is strong and very smooth. I have mine with a 95mm Cf handle , black smooth I shaped knobs and exterior parts in hedgehog royal purple . It's a beauty and for $200 I...

Let's make it under $300, so we can see what affordable reels folks choose.

Any other restrictions? Current production only?

no budget ?

I'd be curious to see that. I could also see how the red Inspira could look like the Stradic ci4 from a distance. Not saying you're wrong, I just haven't seen the picture. Find the April issue of bassmaster "parting shot" section...plain as day , no mistaken it. It's not the first time , I've seen ...

If you look at last months bassmaster magazine towards the back . there is a photo of Jacob Wheeler , who is sponsored by Okuma...He has a deck full of Stradic Ci4's on the boat , if that tells you anything. I'm not saying they won't work ,I'm just thinking that if you're fishing for money , you mig...
