My first JDM...

[GAMEOVER]

You decided to pop your cherry ay? Your in trouble now, I look forward to seeing your first JDM rod . That's still an excellent reel and will be for a very long time.

Welcome onboard the JDM monkey's club

WTG young man! That's a fine reel and I too give you kudos for earning your 'stuff'!

Congrats BassOnly!

Looking on you, I too would like such... At least, the spools for Shimano always were narrower, than for Daiwa. And now especially...
It is not necessary of any tunings!
Here correctly speak: use and serve with love. Remaining - when something will be worn out, will be broken or ITSELF will feel necessity something to change. Be not as everybody!
I'm sorry for some didacticism ;)

Echo on all previous posts. You made a great choice of reels and I admire your work eithic. Keep it up and the sky's the limit.

Uh-oh! I smell the monkey...

[Bassonly]

Which hanlde? Bassart (I am leaning towards this one) or ZPI?

[Cal]

Uh-oh! I smell the monkey...

yeah.. trouble is, that rod will only lead to another reel because you'll find the Scorp Mg is abit underpowered for what you'll end up throwing with that stick... if you're looking Megabass to go with that reel, I'd recommend sticking with something in about an F4 or below.

[Bassonly]

No... I want to put a BBS on that rod, but I am not going to. I am going to stick with ADM rods that actually have a warranty (I.E. loomis). They sure are pretty though!

[OhioChamp183]

awsome little reels!

I use 2 myself for pitching.

Upgraded with 4 ball bearing 85mm ZPI carbon handle, Carbontex drag washers, ZPI sic spool bearings, lubed with yellow rocket fuel.

Pitches 1/8 oz stuff with ease!

16 yrs old, and owns a 20 ft Champ, and buying quality equipment, GREAT deal guy!

You better listen to Cal. He told me the Zillion was a great reel but a mediocre one on my Elseil a year or so ago (my first) I didnt listen. I since then have traded my Zillion for a Sol and baught a Steez. Your in trouble, expecially if your hard headed like me and dont listen.

Wish I had your will power smart-man. You could always get just that ONE rod.. Its only one.. common you know you want to.

One of this was my first JDM, 1 yr later i still in love...


thanks RAUL !!!!

And speaking of the devil, have you oiled and grease that little jewel ? It´s been a year since it greased and oiled it.

yep master, oil every 2 or 3 trips, grease 2 times in this year...

BASSONLY you have to get the platinum ZPI of course its the only handle that looks sick on that reel..

[tj1004]

I like the Bassart. I like the contrast of the black handles, especially on silver reels. I have a Bassart 90 mm on my 100DC and on my Calais 100A. I havent personally seen a ZPI handle so I cant honestly comment on them, but I do prefer the black over the Platinum either way.....Platinum looks a little cheesy to me.

[Nitroman77]

Not when it looks like that... Either way you can go wrong with the any of the 3 handles you can get.
