You have one of the best collection of tuned daiwa reels.

Do you prefer the SS or the T3? It looks nice, but I don't know if they are any good when there's already Steez and T3 in my arsenal.

I don't own a SS, the silver reel is a Steez with a SLP front plate.

Wow, the one thing that prevented me from getting a Steez might be gone. I just hate the look for the wide front plate.

Zaion knobs are available from time to time on the Japanese auction sites.

The differences in performance/build are minimal.The MB factor is worth the extra cash to some.
Much the same the IS range feels/performs better in hand when compared to the Steez.

My ultimate T3,
MB FX68
SLP works Zaion skeletal knobs
SLP works Moon drag star
SLP works CCC
SLP works swept carbon/flat silver accents(matches main frame color)
SLP works 1010 black spool
T3 Air Hybrid light weight main gear

What do you think of that drag star? Is it easy to adjust?

Outstanding!!! Love the trickle down effect. You are the man!

Sorry,I missed your question regarding the drag star.
For me it is not an issue at all,the reduced size does not offer any limitations functionally.
Another prime example of form over function,it does look cool

I look at this thread daily. That is a work of art.

What a pairing. Meant to be... must fish like a dream.

That there is trickle down economics at its finest!

Gorgeous combos AB!
