Finest... Man that's hard.

OG: td-Ito

Rarest: shimano Calcutta xt 1995 limited green color version (I've still never seen one outside of Japan tackle).

Pinnacle of technology: 2016 Antares DC (still not avail in USA yet, so technically jdm only atm).

Sexiest in stock form: ....i'm going with the monoblock viola, followed by the sunburst Zonda, is73 viola & is73/79 green ito's.
Honorable mention to all the Lin varients.

Custom: for me.... It has to be rarebreed's custom type R+.

Finest jdm reel that doesn't actually exist(yet) :lol: : Z 1016 (the mini- Z).

*I'd probably pick the TD Ito outright if there were 7:1 gears for RH ;)

Hard to list just one...So many make me smile. TD Ito. Z2020. Monoblocks. However... I think I will go with the reel that started the BFS stuff.

Pixy in Airy Red. :big grin: :big grin:

I do love my Conquest 101hg :big grin:

Not the sickest looking reel out there, but damn it rocks in every way...

Steez changed the game for daiwa. Like conquest did for shimano. At least these two were ground breakers for me

What a hard question, It's a toss up for me. I love my Diawa Pixies. I also have an Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 2600 Elite JDM only reel that's pretty special.

Tie between Airy Red and Zonda 10.

Heavier work: Ryoga 1016

Hard to get what you paid for such a reel, with shipping from Japan [-(

With a stock reel it would be the LIN 10

With upgraded handled and ZPI spools TD Ito & Personal orders and Monoblock are just as good in a slightly lighter duty reel.

For lures greater than 1 oz and large fish I am loving Z2020 and Ryoga 2020.
