Not sure if the bearing count would determine the source reel. Wouldnt the spool assembly be a better sign? Speed shaft or not?

Yeah, because technically even the 6 BBs are less than a Tatula. Will just have to wait and see what type of spool it has. I can't see Megabass not having the free floating spool. However, I would have swore that their first T Wing reel would have been a Steez variant, though. So who knows!

Not to nitpick but their first T-Wing reel was the T3 variant FX line 8-)

If this is based on the Tatula, I can see it losing them some credibility, unless it's a such an amazing performer that it makes up for its lack of pedigree.

Not feeling it, never could get into the t wing deal with Daiwa.

I would rather have a higher end reel get the Ito treatment, with a little more creative color scheme.

Maybe these were meant to match the USA Destroyer series?
Get your kids hooked on fishing, and they'll never have any money for drugs or alcohol.

You wouldn't be saying that if a vag was in front of your face, LOl

Yeah, my brother (big daiwa fan) absolutely hates the twing design, too. like many others here.

agreed.
A dude on Instagram had a few Steez A's (pretty sure they were A's) painted in the Ito colours and it is amazing!
PM me the Instagram link please...I wanna check them out!
This is all I can find......

Now THAT is a thing of beauty (unlike the megabass tatula). =D>
