Just re-read my comment again...... not even taking sides or saying a product should meet everyone's needs and wants. don't get too defensive or offended by it.

When the JDM Pixy was initially released, I recall the masses wishing (over the years) for a USDM release. That wish has FINALLY been granted and people are now nitpicking about the reel? :roll: Personally, I'm ecstatic about a USDM Pixy release......more so because of parts availability than anyth...

I fish almost completely in brackish and inshore waters, which is the only reason I dont have a Pixy. same :crying: But that's all about to change with the spool/frame spacers, an I'ZE PX68 spool (est.

Love your work.

And I was waiting for a clever answer ](*,) I though to my self. He will mention the new Revo LTX that is close in weight and is also a finesse reel... ](*,) Maybe for you they are the same but for me is like two complete opposites. :-k Maybe you are talking about apples and I about oranges. I hear...

Thanks Raul. I contacted mundo.

Bump for anyone who has a spare. Will pay for shipping and any other reasonable costs incurred.

Cheers

Agreed

Good work Cal.

Hi all,

I can't seem to recall who it was that machined some spacers for the Alphas or Sol to close the gap when using with a Pixy spool.

Does anyone have a spare they can send to Australia?

Cheers

Damn... more exxy than the Steez.

But then again, on paper it's better than the Pixy SPR ($550-600).

Save yourself some trouble and get some Carbontex drag washers from Dawn at Smoooth drag.

The Pixy-R does have the clicking Drag Star from what I am reading on the SPECS.

Think he means the clicking when line is beng pulled against the drag

Don't know about fixing it, maybe someone else can chime in.

But you can get another 51 or 51S spool from Shimano Japan. Most of the JDM retailers should be able to help.
Otherwise, you can consider Avail aftermarket spools.

What sizes are the spool and sideplate bearings on the new Daiwa Pixy PX68? A buddy wants me to upgrade the bearings on his PX68 but he knows squat and I didn't see the reel yet. Thank you for your help! PX68 sideplate (mag brake side) bearing 10E280 3x8x4 spool bearing 10E266 3x10x4 source: http:/...

oh wow
