It’s a sickness

This has got to be the smoothest reel I’ve ever had in my hands

I will be honest I was expecting....

[Polkfish1]

Although I’ve learned that a good portion are made based on pre-order, I’d throw out Designo. I’ve been massively impressed with their rods and they were a pain to source. Another maker I’d suggest is Zenaq. I have yet to try one, which will be remedied, but all I’ve read about Zenaq has been exceptionally positive. With only one US supplier, which I understand happened only recently, these seem to still require some will to get across the pond.

Hmm—must of messed up—-this was meant to go in the “what should I get“ thread

[Jnkoepp]

Sorry to disappoint. This is actually my least expensive reel but there’s just something about it to me.

Will some pics of tricked out Namikis, itos, is79, jdream, morethan, or ip79 be better?

Hey Jared, nice reel, and I'll agree, the Zillion 100P is among the smoothest reels I've ever used. The teeth on that 100P main gear are massive, which makes me wonder what this micomodule gearing is all about. Btw, did you ever get that Morethan TW?
Also, there's a thread all about Daiwas in Show & Tell. You should post some pics of those others, too.

Nice reel man

So often they come up in tough shape cosmetically.
That one you have looks amazing

[BigG]

Great cranking reel.

Nice work. I love the TD Zillion. Shame that my only example is a lone IP68. I'll have to change that.

Is that drag star Daiwa purple or HH deep purple? I recently bought a used reel that will arrive form Japan someday. It was too cheap to pass up and has purple parts on it. One of them is what appears to be that exact drag star. It's was $73 after shipping and $58 before. I bought it for the purple parts and to have another go at the T3 platform and Magforce 3D but mostly for the purple parts.

The MX is the best of the T3 series, outside the MB variants. I sort of miss the one I had.

It’s an RCS deep purple

Isn't it just a JDM Ballistic? The spool looks like a Ballistic spool.

[hoohoorjoo]

No, that's an MX model. That spool is what makes it the best of the best. It's a great spool and it also works excellent a TDZ. The reel really is an excellent distance caster, with great control, as well. I sold mine and it was still very smooth, but I had heard that they got geary over time. I wish I had kept it.

[LowRange]

Interesting. It looks visually identical to my Balistic spool. I'll have to compare the two whe ever I get the reel.

I don't know what that means. Is that the Daiwa purple we see on most Daiwa purple parts?

[Jnkoepp]

Sorry. I misspoke. SLP... so yes, Daiwa. Not sure they’re stock on any reel though
