btw .... how's the training going? Aside never having enough time in between 10-14 hour work days, the biggest challenge will always be finding those that will honor the art.

The big performance difference...to me...is the spool. The tuned rotor makes a noticeable difference. The ito handle is nicer, but the spool is the key difference.

Just buy it...or put an ito spool in a Sol.

The Sol is beautiful and performs incredible well.

The main drive shaft on some TD-Zs is also ported. I believe the R, R+ and the Ito. See compared to a standard drive shaft. This one came in a standard TD-Z 103H.. Lucky me :) http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff239/dougl58/Lures%20for%20sale/DSC06227.jpg I'm also noticing different materials... ;)

Before I did any bearings, I'd get an HLC or PE spool. Then upgrade the bearings on those spools.

Some folks have had reduced reliability with cera...

No, I didn't

Does the lake have stripers?

4) I have noticed that the Type R feels much smoother than the Coastal during the retrieve. I am assuming that this is due to the fact that the Type R comes with a 4BB handle, so what can I do to make the Coastal feel more like the Type R? Will I have to swap out the handle, or can I just upgrade t...

Oooooooooh...a fixed inductor.

I have a Daiwa Zillion Coastal and the Zillion Type-R, and had a some questions regarding upgrades. 1) Will I get a noticeable increase in casting performance if I upgrade the Coastal with the Boca ABEC-7 Bearings (spool and sideplate)? What are the bearing ratings used in the stock Coastal? 2) Wha...

Well done!!
