Enjoyed the review, does this mean if I want Steez SV like my older Steez, I have to buy JDM or just buy SV spools?

Mine came with two bushings per knob.

Same here.

Nice review Cal. I love my Alphas/Sols/Zondas, and the SV didn't disappoint. After the usual upgrades the reel is outstanding. Daiwa going to make a mint selling spools and gears. How if they just would update the OG Zillion (103SV).

Appreciated the review Cal. I a little disappointed that they is no BFS rod in the line up. I like everybody else hope they sell the volkey line up here.

All I have done is handle both and based on that I thought the Zodiacs were nicer.

Casting distance isn't important unless your buddy is reaching the school fish before you can.

The sad thing about the article is that most people won't get a change to read it. Thanks for the great review. I decided early on to upgrade my Zillons and have added an IP 68 and J Dream 79 to go with my Type R and Crazy Cranker. Still want to add another IP 68 or J Dream 63. I sick that Daiwa has...

I was hoping for a comparison to the old Zillion, but I guess that doesn't help us going forward. I not feeling the love for the TWS, if this is the platform.

Since this is a 3 part review and you mention mounting reel on one of your 2 Destructions, I'm looking forward to the on the water comparison. I haven't decided if I will purchase the Zillon TWS yet, but have bought some MB Zillons and am looking to purchasing a J Dream or two. Maybe you review will...

These rod are the best looking rods Gloomis is offering right now. Love the full cork grips, the lime green highlights wouldn't be my choice, but are that bad. Some full cork grips on the NRX like on the 916C would rock.

Thanks Bantam

I love topwater and have been using poppers mostly with some walkthedog baits thrown in there. After reading back into the forum I decided to try the Jackall binksy and pompadour, plus the deps buzzjets. Got them in this winter so haven't had a chance to fish them. I have played with them and I am m...

Thanks for the review. I bought several of these and some 10Xs and they are so much larger. Going to throw the LC Mags on my swimbait rod and they're going in the swim bait box. Looking forward to trying them this summer.

As gofast boats they have efficient hulls and get great fuel mileage. I have a 2007 that doesn't have a stress crack on it.

I looked at this rod a The Tackle Trap a week ago, and almost brought it home with me. My wife doen't know about the Super Rekkai yet
