Re: TDZ for Bottom

Its pretty unique in that regard. The longevity alone is impressive let alone the modifications. Is there any other reel with that type of record? [/quote] There are old reels still in use like the old green Curados for example. The closest one could be the original Alphas as they still get used an...

Re: TDZ for Bottom

I've used mine for bottom contact with 20lb fluoro. No problems at all with the drag (carbontex). It seems I get more fish with 6.3:1 than a faster reel, probably because it forces me to slow down. That said, I use my td-z's for ikas, Senkos, squarebills and spinnerbaits. Don't get my wrong 7-10:1 ...

Most sought after for what? Rarity? Performance? Selling price?
Just curious your thoughts in those categories you mentioned...

Re: Show off your OG Zillion

[/qoute] I've got colorful OG's also! :D The SV spools seem to fish the same in the OG. Both the Steez SV and SV103 spools like the 3-4 setting on the mag dial. This is the same way that the SV spools fish in their original platforms. I got the spacers a long time ago, but I have so many reels that ...

Re: Isn't it crazy that some Daiwa platforms are almost 20y old and still in production?

I am still waiting on a redo of the TD-Z...maybe 2023 when the platform would be 25 years old! Some of the people on here might not have been born yet lol! Wouldn't that be something I know right? Add a 90mm swept aluminum or bonus carbon fiber handle, some OG corks (to copy the originals), longer ...

For the TD-Z, TD-X Air Metal, SV103, Steez platforms, what are the most sought after 34mm Daiwa spools as far as performance is concerned? Thanks and best wishes on the water.
