I got the SS SV105 in today. Its flawless. There is not a mark on it. I don't know why it was listed as "B" condition. The reel is perfect. The box has some subtle rash but that is it. Not bad for $146 to my door.

That's funny. I spent more than that just to trick out that Zillion, which was almost as much as i spent on my SS SV 103HL a few years ago. Well done, sir. I'm a bit jealous. I could really use that reel. Except for the fact that it's wrong handed, that is.

Wow, that looks really nice with the purple on it. Did it come like that for $146 or did you dress it up? I just picked one up in like new condition a couple weeks for $175 to my door, haven't used it yet but will tomorrow.

Bass.co.jp. They have a pretty good used rod and reel section.

The SS SV105 reels come with a 105 spool and purple parts. I think the SS SV105s only came in 8:1 purple.

Here are better pics. Postimage turns pics into potato quality. The reel is flawless in like new condition. I was worried by the poor pics on bass.co.jp. I can't believe they consider this a B condition "some scratches". It looks brand new. I'm lucky the Japanese and US tackle enthusiasts use lefty reels. I can't wipe my rear end left handed.

I like it. I didn't see where you were going with the build until I saw the knobs glow then I got it. Nice mix of otherwise funky Daiwa colors.

Thanks! Yeah, with a little sunlight those knobs glow like crazy as soon as you get into some shade. I think the mag dial screw might be royal purple instead of the deep purple one I ordered, so I got one more to give it another shot. It clashes with drag star and levelwind shaft just enough to bug me.

It's the handle from a Daiwa Ardito reel (a tatula CT). I placed an order from EASTACKLE and saw the reel discounted and had to have that handle.

Oh yeah, I remember someone posting about those. It's funny because all the aluminum parts on the Ardito
rods are red. They look good with a tatula type r.
