TW clearance sale of Daiwa sv105 and sv103 ... ???

[blakjack23]

Nooo! Time to stock up on these I guess. The used market for these just got a bump

[LowRange]

I need to get around to picking up an sv103. Sooner rather than later. Probably outta snag a Perfet Pitch to pair with. When are the xx rods planning on being phased out?

[papabassin]

I have been going back and forth on which OG Zillion reel I should add to my line up. It's been between the SV103 and the Deps Zillion...this puts the pressure on a little bit.

This is annoying news. I got a SV105 over Black Friday and so far it is the best casting reel I have tried, in terms of ease of use and how comfortable it is to hold and cast with.

Is there a 1:1 JDM equivalent, or should I snag a second one on ebay, where the prices are still sub $200?

The sv105 is an overpriced Alphas sv. I don't know why people keep buying them. I bought my Alphas sv the same year it was released for $187 at normal retail. It came out to ne $207 shipped to my door in 2015.

Are they still in production? I did a quick look around and most places have a really limited selection.

I've actually come around to the T-wing lately. I was not a fan of the first few generations of t wing, but it seems they've worked the kinks out, and owners of the Zillion SV TW and Steez TW love the casting distance. I wish the Zillion was smaller profile, as the Steez SV TW is

[Dustys60]

So is daiwa forcing us into the tws reels? I have never owned one but really never got excited about them. This may bring the price up on the og zillions if that is the only non tws heavy-duty reel we have to choose from. I am praying that they have something up their sleeve for a classic release.

I got my US version new for $216 shipped in 2015 so I guess I paid $9 for a one year warranty (that I didnt use)

That's not bad at all. I was under the impression that the SV105 was going for $270.

Could always get the new Fuego CT coming out...

Help me understand why all the hate for the twing? I remember the grooving....

[martinbass]

Hello! Has any of the sv103 users experienced inductor blocking?

[alafly]

I personally don't hate it at all, just don't prefer it. I feel that it makes the reels taller in profile. It's why I have been looking at Shimanos more.
