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.

They are probably counting each ball in every bearing. lol

Thats the funniest thing iv seen all day!

They have bearings all around the brake race. Hahaha

If I had of laughed any harder, I would have broken all of my ribs... Its just so funny how much better things look when the quality is ramped up!

gross

Those look awesome!

Looks more like a knock off of a Z 2020.

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.

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.
