Re: New pixy
With these prices, imagine if the IMZ is released in NA. Probably $1900 for the reel
Re: New pixy
Wanted to make a thread about it a few weeks ago when i originally saw it, but then i aked myself what's the point? A Pixy is: Finnesse speced, colorful and made out of magnesium. What are we getting this time around? An Alphas from years ago. That is not how you revive an OG, Daiwa. And considering...

Re: Are you using any Chinese manufactured reels?
I'm still using a made in China Daiwa Caldia 2000-sized spinning reel. Aside from a couple of the design features that I don't like (just personal preferences regarding the non-folding handle and the rotor design), the reel's held up well over the years. That's no noname brand. The likes of daiwa a...

Re: Are you using any Chinese manufactured reels?
The Piscifun Alloy M reel is a solid option. I wouldnt pay the $90 full price for it, but for the $66 shipped that I paid for it, its a good reel. It was never slick-smooth, but again, still a good reel for what I paid. I suspect that the lower ratio reels would be smoother. Mine is 8.4 ratio. Have...

Re: New Tatula is $100
What's the issue with the plastic top piece? If its made like the Zillion, the metal frame will be underneath it. All that plastic piece does is help you in cold weather. I had one on a zillion crack just putting the reel back together. I was able to repair it, but it should have never broken like ...

Re: ZPI back to making spools?
I kinda don't trust a brand that began selling some $70 noname reels for $300. It'll be happening even if you don't believe it, most likely raw product made there and packed in J-a-Pan and it gets a "Made In Japan" sticker and pricetag to boot. How else are they to stay viable in today's climate? I...

Re: ZPI back to making spools?
About time. You looked at their page, and its like seeing an Aliexpress ad, what the hell. Seing them go back to what they're known for is great news, but their stuff better be made in Japan, and if it isn't, and they're selling Chinese made handles for $120 :laugh1: I kinda don't trust a brand that...

Re: Are you using any Chinese manufactured reels?
Chinese reels from Aliexpress are popular in my country due to price. I have experience with Tsurinoya and Ecooda. Tsu is probably the most popular here and most of their models are decent budget reels. Same experience with Ecooda, they are also decent reels. Also do not need to overthink it, high ...

Re: New Tatula is $100
$100 is a good price for a Tat. Anything over $119.99 is a no thanks from me, and this goes to all Tats made.

Re: 2024 Metanium DC
Most likely will buy one just to have a DC reel since i've sold mines. And i also like how the modes adjustment is outside. About time they did it.

Re: 24 Daiwa Airtiy SF Lightest reel From Daiwa ever
Do we really need to go under 5oz? I don't exactly want to use something that feels like a plastic toy, and some weight is needed to balance most rods. think these light reels are designed with super finesse applications in mind. in Japan it is common to use 4lb and under floro line even for bass f...

https://www.megabass.co.jp/site/products/destroyer_p5_f2st-73x/ ;) If you into BFS, this 3 pieces P5 looks really unique. It has an EX fast tip that become regular when you fight the fish. It looks like smallmouth killer \:D/ I might finally give in and buy a Megabass. I am into bfs, and the rod do...
