No idea what he’s saying but looks a lot like when I tear down my 21 Zillions.

I remember that. They added some 5 year service contract to justify the price increase for the USDM Steez CT. It reminds me of the Jim Gaffigan joke about the French selling the US bottled water that’s free from any faucet. “How dumb do we think the Americans are? I’ll bet we could sell those idiot...

hit the other sellers on amazon tab and see if there is an amazon japan option Well now this is a game changer. I’ve been scrolling most of the day and it’s clear the current global state of fishing equipment goes like this; *insert company name here* JDM: Here’s all of our premium level equipment ...

Just an FYI, this reel is down to ~$430 on Japan Lure Shop. And the Yen is pretty steadily losing ground to the Dollar. There’s a chance this reel gets even cheaper as the year goes on. If it happens to go below $400, this would be a fantastic buy for this reel. It’s a beauty. I never thought I’d s...

$350 for an alphas air TW!!!

This is almost as bad as the $750 US Steez you can get from JDM retailers for about half.

Daiwa is just insulting our intelligence at this point.

$456 shipped to my door from Japan in 4 days for mine.

Daiwa USA is nuts. It’s a great reel. It’s not worth anywhere near $750. After taxes, it’s just under twice the price for the US model.

Daiwa introduces new reel.

Claims to upgrade from ‘hyper’ to ‘ultimate’.

Still has ‘hyper’ written on the side plate. Lol

Never change, Daiwa.

Just call TW and they will give you the discount by phone sale. They just can't advertise it or give the discount online.

Really? Isn’t this how tackle trap lost Shimano?

How much did she hold? I use 8lb Tatsu on my Millionaire, put enough backing to where it only holds 50-55 meters. If I could get close to that the Gekka would be fine for 99% of fish I fight... I really don’t have a good answer for you as I didn’t do any sort of useful measuring when I spooled up. ...

Bone stock.

Ordered Gekkabijin from digitaka on Monday.

It arrived at my house on Thursday.

Caught this bad boy on it today (Friday).

I run straight 8 lb tatsu on both my Gekkabijins.

Caught this one today on a 1/16 oz crappie jig with the Gekkabijin on a Dobyns sierra ultra finesse. Handled her beautifully.

I ordered a Gekkabijin from digitaka on Monday.

I have a shipping confirmation and my package is moving. Looks like a few folks are working.
