The Daiwa IMZ is too expensive even for TT?!

The reel is out, and nobody is even mentioning it. :shock: Did any of you bought it? Is it too expensive even for the "prestige" class that's on TT?

Thats awesome TT picked one up to test.

It's expensive for sure ($715 plus shipping, about the same cost as us US Steez CT SV) but I don't think it is the money for the high rollers.

Too many face value negatives or unknowns (software, 1st gen). One thing is for sure. Everyone in the poll that said yes, sure didn't jump on it.

I could go for it, but that Japanese app messed me up.

Yeah I think the biggest issue is the JDM exclusivity... I am not sure, but I think the app doesn't have an English version and has other specifics that wouldn't translate well in other countries.

I don't think expensive is the right term, but more like there are too many "deterrents" and cons (as already named above) for someone to get it.

If this was sold in the US, the price would be $1399.99 :laugh1:
