Zenon spinning reel differences (USDM vs JDM)
I am looking at a Zenon JDM spinning reel and I see 3000SH, 3000MSH, and 4000SH. I really like larger reels (I use mostly Daiwa 4000LT size reels) for fishing for smallmouth up north. Are the 3000 sizes in the JDM market the same as the 30 USDM? Also, anyone know what SH vs MSH means? I also wonder ...

Re: Daiwa TD-S black limited?
The TD-V was a Wal-Mart exclusive in the early 2000s. The "best" of the TD-S and TD-X reels were the Air Metal JDM versions outside of the USDM HSD and HSDF. The Air Metal versions (though I don't think the TD-S in it) came in 103P, 103H, and 105H (there is one on the auction site right now). They a...

Re: Exit Abu Garcia
If there is one modern Abu worth looking at right now, it is the AF-L. Quite an awesome reel even if you have had a bad experience with the others.

2021 Abu Garcia
Does anyone have any insight as to what might be new from Abu Garcia for 2021? It is their 100th Anniversary (as is Shimano's) and was wondering if anyone knew of any new higher end models being released? I am mostly a Daiwa/Shimano guy but got to collecting/using some of the 1970s Abu products and ...

Re: Carbon Fiber Strait Handles for Daiwa
SDS Custom ones are on the bay. They are excellent and ship from Ukraine. They take 1-2 weeks to get here but for the price can't be beat. He usually includes a free gift bait in the package as well.

Re: Trash customs
4 point stars replaced the 5 point about 1980/1981. Then the rounded 5 point came back late 80s early 90s. Now they have the longer rounded edge ones.

Re: Revo Premier Generation 2 Question
Both of the Gen 2 Premiers arrived today NIB. They are really, really, nice. 6.4:1 so a nice all around ratio and I got the last two they had. They didn't have any in any other ratio but for $119 a reel I figured what the heck. Best wishes on the water.

Revo Premier Generation 2 Question
I was on the big auction site and saw two NIB from a sporting goods store in NJ that were listed at $119 shipped each. They are sold out now but was that a decent price for this generation reel? Never put much thought into what these older reels are going for now. I had a Gen 1 STX, SC, and Premier ...

Curado 76H uses
Picked up one a few weeks back when they ran that crazy priced sale on TW. It's -8 wind chill today in the Northeast but my cabin fever has me thinking the best uses for this rod. I have a Tatula 150 with lime SLP knobs on it (yes I know Shimano with a Daiwa). If you have this rod, what techniques a...

Re: Okay let's hear it.. Abu Garcia or Lew's?
It's funny that this topic came up. Just in the last few months I have started purchasing Abu reels again. It all started on the bay when I saw a VERY RARE 5500 Champagne Gold reel that I got for very cheap. Then I got four 5500 in brown, a 5000D, a 4000D, multiple 2500 and 1500, a few 4600 Red Thum...

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
What's the SV Boost? The reel itself looks like it would palm like an old TDZ which is nice...just probably a little lower. Add a silver star, silver SLP knobs and I am good.

What TDZ reel is that? Custom painted?
