Re: 2022 Daiwa Silver Creek Air TW Stream Custom

Its like Shimano forgot to release fishing reels? Everything that's coming out and looking good is from Daiwa as of late.

Re: Best cheap spool pin remover

Might as well break down and get the SLP pin remover. Mine has been going strong for a couple of years, and that's under pretty regular use as I run a shop. I have yet to use the spare guide pin that came with it. There are also the Reelspeed pliers, if you can find them as I don't believe Aaron ma...

Re: Shimano Core 101MG Issue?

The only thing i could think of is a damaged or dirty anti reverse bearing. If its happening on a jerking motion, it would make sense, but i don't know about going full free spool, tho.

Re: Best cheap spool pin remover

The newest Roro spool pin remover is awesome...and inexpensive. Works very well and has both the blunt and pointed tips on the same fixed handle. Doesn't scratch spools either. Is it the one for $35 or something? Kinda expensive, wanted something cheaper. I saw Gomexus has one with stainless steel ...

Has anyone put silver metallic cork knobs on one? I ordered a couple since I despise the stock knobs they come with.
Had a pair on my Ryoga1016. They're very easy to scratch and their texture ain't too great (slippery).

Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22

Didn't even knew there was a 34mm version. Interesting. But all i want from it is the engine cover and the cast control collar in that sweet looking blue :shock:

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000

Yea, all the aftermarket engine covers sold by slp, ktf, hedgehog, etc are always a ring that you attach with a double sided tape. Personally, i want to remove the plastic engine cover completely and replace it by a metal one.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000

It's not my reel, so I'm not sure. It's from an Instagram account rembrandtreels. There are several fully customized new zillions on there. Here's another one. https://i.postimg.cc/dtm5s52W/251663415-309454687387038-5018970938863549327-n.jpg Interesting. That Star Drag must be made in South Korea. ...

Looks like the ss sv slp dress kit plate will work. https://i.postimg.cc/Wp8ySjg9/254951363-981174835834919-3784178470938268037-n.jpg Looks awesome. That little simple thing makes this reel look so much more high end and so less Fuego/Tatula grade. The plastic collar that is around the zero adjuste...

I don't get it Can't stand the platform. No matter how they paint it, add bearings and give it another name, its still a Tatula. Is it the twing u don't like or the bulkyness?

Has any of you thought of swapping that fugly plastic engine cover? Trying to figure out which engine cover from another reel would be compatible.
