After looking at my reels, I thought that I would post these four. The Steez 100HLA, purchased new in 2007, was my first baitcaster. Never used one before then. Now I have a “few” 😊. The reel has been fully maintained and “super tuned” by myself. It is as smooth as and has the casting performance as...

Steez AGS out of the three here.

+1 on either the 7'1 or 7'6" Compile X AGS

My 7'6" MML arrived today just in time for my club tournament tomorrow at the California Delta. I have been Been fishing the previous SVF version since January and have been really happy with it. This version feels lighter “in hand” than the previous version. Will see if the upgraded components (Co...

That is a schematic and it is not the schematic for the Zillion SV TW 1000. That reel and some other recent reels (USDM and JDM) did not include a schematic. See this thread: http://www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86225&start=15#p695931 The manual for the JDM Zillion SV TW 1000 reels does no...

I have been using YGK G-Soul Upgrade X-8 (30#, 40# and 50#) for the past two years. After reading the description and reviews of the SS112 Sinking Braid, I decided to try it on my spinning reels and baitcasters that were using light weight lures in deeper water subsurface presentations. The SS112 di...

What's the warranty of these rods? The Hookup is saying 5 years, but seeing lifetime on Tacklewarehouse? This kinda worries me, especially unproven durability of AGS guides. The warranty tag on the previous version (EVA) states "Limited lifetime" and the current version (cork) states "Five year lim...

The wait isn't going to be much longer, at least for guys who have ordered from The Tackle Trap!!

Any further update?

Was it the bearing and bearing collar highlighted in this picture that "dropped"? Picture is from the disassembly of the new Zillion SV TW 1000L. It appears that Daiwa has begun to not include schematics with the new reels, so I take sequenced pictures as I disassemble the new reels. Regards, Doc J...

remaining pictures

It appears that Daiwa has begun to not include schematics with the new reels So they're trying to extinguish the right to self repair... I've seen nothing of the sort on either JDM or US Daiwa reels. My Zillion 10, Steez A HLC, Steez SV TW LTD, 21 Alphas, 21 US Zillion, etc. have all come with sche...

The current JDM Zillion SV TW worm shaft has two spacers rather than bearings in a stock configuration.
