Re: Reel for XXX Black Themis

I have the evolution model armed with an IS 73, MB honeycomb spool (11# shooter) & zpi bearings. Pop X machine. Tried my 'zilla & steez t-wing on the rod, but the '73 (super tuned by Dr. Shields) is just magic. Matter a fact it's a gas. Never tangled with a mega toad, but pinned a few 4#'s. Enjoy th...

Re: Where to send my Diawa Steez for tune up.

Spot on with carbonx drag upgrade and zpi's. Additionally, an internal polish, new spool depending on the use and longer handle...say 95 or 100mm. Function over form...bling optional. I've got 3 and couple of is 73's. Just great reels.
