There is a link on one of those pages for a dual braking 18 bearing reel. How would one even go about putting 18 bearings in a reel?

Damn,just ordered one of those knock off 'air handle 'assemblies from the bay.
Could have had a whole SS air reel for $25

I bought one of the No. 8 candly apples. Looked nice until I got to actually hold it. Afraid to fish it. It will likely break in a few casts.
Basically a TD-Z knock off........ But no where near the quality.

That's right, pharmboy2010! There are better copies of daiwa reels like angler (tdz 100)and omoto cerveza( tdz 103) with all the features: mg frames ,mag z brakes, floating spools and cheaper material I guess for their cost.

Re: Terrible Chinese knock off reels
How in the world can they make/sell reels that cheap? I mean, it does cost something to manufacture.

Cheap parts, cheap labor and no R&D or marketing = rock bottom pricing.
