Is Yuki Working on an ITO Steez?

Post by Nautilus » Thu Apr 27, 2006 5:39 pm

Hello all! I'm new here but not to high-end gear.....one of the seriously afflicted types. I've got to try the new Daiwa Steez but if there is going to be an ITO Engineering version released anytime soon I will wait. Does anyone have any inside information on the subject?

I'm sure you're right! It wouldn't be much of an issue except the price on the ITO has got to be around $7-800! :shock:

Skeeterboy....that good news....I was basing my opinion on Jun's prices.

Just4kix, Me too! I was disappointed with the handle on the ITO Alpha....got to be some carbon or cork or SOMETHING worth bearing the name.

The finish holds a lot of weight with me which is why the Original Alphas 103 is my favorite, Purple! :D

Yup...I don't get why the purple was discontinued. There are plenty of silver, midsize reels out there. :(

DISCONTINUED? Did I miss something? It's a different model from the Type-F being saltwater safe and all. Please chime in all and tell me ain't so!

Maybe I'm wrong....sorry for the early morning shocker! I guess I'm just not seeing them anymore.....just the silver ones.
