Thankyou!

Just curious if anyone has this reel and how they like it..

When all that was available was right handed you didn’t have a choice. Now that lefty’s are all over the place it has me wanting but then if it sticks I’ll have to convert everything and that’s a pain in the rear.

All Shimano needs to do is bring back the original gears and market them as macro module lol

Just update the frames and keep the same gears of old and I’ll be a happy camper.

I had one metanium 20 that went through 3 gear sets from Shimano. I loved the reel but it was disappointing, I have a conquest 400 for swimbaits with micro module and that seems to be the only reel that has seemed to somewhat last without gear swapping. Standard Daiwa gears are just fine and are jus...

The old zillions were money that’s for sure. My steez sv tws are smooth as glass after tons of use and they feel almost identical to the smoothness of the current hyper drive steez limited I have.

The 20 metaniums I had all went geary and grindy even after new gear sets. Caught lots of fish but those mico module gears just have no durability.

I bought two a while back, one of them jdm model with the aluminum gear and the other American with the brass gear. The us model got rough fast which surprised me but the jdm model is still butter. I swapped the jdm gear into my steez Ct 70 and it’s silky smooth. I think I’ll order the aluminum set ...

The roros in the stock spool for alphas air or gekkabijin manages very well and pretty smooth flat casting with minimal effort. The stock spools are lighter in those reels than the alphas Ct and millionaire ct, maybe that’s the difference

Good idea thanks for the tip!

Yes they are better than I expected, 1 drop of oil and its good to go.

Decided to try a pair of the Roro ceramic ST bearings and they are noticeably quieter and smoother than the stock bearings in the alphas air tw. I guess I got lucky , still waiting for tackle trap to get some more sizes in for the hedgehog red air bfs in to try those as well. For $20 a pair I’m pret...

No worries, I appreciate the feedback. I use the standard samurai in 12 and 14 and works well but I bought a 1000yard spool of the 6lb and wanted to see if it was as good as the other sizes in the lineup.

Has anyone used this particular size in the hidden concept? How’s the strength and abrasion resistance ?
