Where does it say pre order? Anyone know the spool diameter?

It says pre-order above the 'add to cart' under availability. Spool is a 31mn g1 duraluminum fixed inducer 'trout tuned' job. Holds 40m of 6lb line.

I inquired to Digitaka, the other day, and got them to add it to the pre-order and/or got them to fix the pre-order link. :D

I can't wait to get it in!

Actual pics in this thread (only place I've seen it)- https://sdfish.com/forums/t/new-2018-da ... it.166043/

Looks more like an older curado green in person, vs the matte army green look in that digitka pic. Would probably be a perfect match on a legend elite blank

T'would 8-)


I want one for the Pagani AIR BAMBOO F1-63PB POPX STICK, but am not sure now due to the line capacity...most of my fishing is off of our dock, and I make long casts.

Thanks man! Just ordered one. Monkey's been whispering in my ear on this guy ever since I saw pics last winter. :D

Know what else uses a 31mm spool....pixy! The Daiwa link states that the spool is not compatible with other items, but I bet that only applies to current production.
