This is one of my go-to techniques. I even use them up shallow with a short leader, sort of a stroker rig. The zoom lizard is my all-time favorite soft plastic on a c-rig.

Re: Red Zillion SV TW 1000.
Really hard to tell from the picture if mismatched hood on this one. I wonder where can we just get just the parts. Last time I have a friend contact Daiwa Malaysia with no success. May be red hood would look better on HD instead of flat black? This 'red' zillion is actually burgundy. Not sure that...

Re: Things You Have NEVER Tried
No magnum spoons for me, either. Ive never fly fished, but I learned how to use a fly rod in my buddy's back yard. Ive never used a spybait or a ned rig. Dont kill me for this, but I can count on one hand how many times Ive thrown a suspending jerkbait and Ive never thrown a Vision 110. Blasphemy! ...
Re: New pixy
I am interested in a new Alphas or Pixy for BFS. I was looking at the Alphas 800S (shallow spool) or the Air version. My old Alphas SV105 with a 33mm spool doesn't cast very well when the line guide is all the way to the left or right. Once you take off about 2mm of line from the top of the spool, ...

Re: Red Zillion SV TW 1000.
What kind of a sane person uses a quality carbon handle with that kind of nut retainers? :laugh1: It looks like one of those cheap chinease handles that sort of look like an RCS carbon. Still the plastic nut retainer is dumb. I bet Daiwa got a lot of negative feedback from the US about the colored ...

Re: Red Zillion SV TW 1000.
The paint on my Salamadura Air has proven very durable so far while beating the bushes around my little ponds. This appears to be the same paint. I sort of wish it had a black glossy frame like my reel, though.

Re: New pixy
How about another Tatula. The new BF 70 is coming. That makes 12 Tatulas listed on Daiwa's web sight. This is based on the Alphas Air TW, not the tatula 70/80 frame. The new Tatula BF 70 is already available on Tackle Warehouse. It has a BFS spool. Gotcha. The overseas market already has the Salama...
Re: New pixy
Why 70? Let get it straight Daiwa, don’t get me wrong I like Daiwa, sold most Shimanos. Stop trying to be Shimano for just one second, please. They have had the 70 for 3 years now. The tatula 80 is standard. The tatula 70 is the sv version of the 80. Speaking of, I figure they may release the alpha...

Re: New pixy
This is just a rebranded Alphas Air TW. :doh: [-( I really enjoy my alphas air tw, but no way would I pay that much for one. I guess Daiwa just got lazy. Do they really think the average US angler usnt aware of JDM offerings? Even Bassmaster magazine and Jay Kumar's Bass Blaster talks about JDM tack...
