Its their "bread and butter" line. We will see a Type R and an SV version soon id imagine.Hogsticker2 wrote:Yay, another Tatula...... Nobody ever saidpoisonokie wrote:Lol, doesn't tell you jack sh--...joekaz wrote:Daiwa Project T 2019 "begins" vid is out.

2018 Zillion HD with all that would be unstoppable. Wonder when Daiwa last used a dual anti reverse system. Also wonder what the future of the hyper digigears are, they won't stay in the Ryoga alone I hope.

And updated Steez SV TW shocked me too. Although....remember in the JDM advertisement, Daiwa mentioned they could have made it lighter.

Maybe, if I had control of that at Daiwa, the new releases would include a 90mm handle. That is one of the reasons I bought a Steez A and added knobs, spool, etc. Just sucks that the style of the 80mm SV TW handle looks better, but the 90mm Steez A handle feels better. Other than that, I really don't know what they could improve on. If they are trying to make it lighter it obviously won't get brass gears (and the aluminum gears seem to hold up fine). Also even though I think about this "trickling down technology" I am not sure about the hyper micro mesh gears in the new Ryoga. Wasn't there someone on here who reported having some issues with them??? I still never found out if they are closer to Conquest level micro module or Metanium/Bantam/Chronarch/Curado level micro module tooth size...Hobie-Wan Kenobi wrote:And updated Steez SV TW shocked me too.

Maybe it was in front of us all along????????
I totally agree with the handle statement. Using an 80mm handle on a non-BFS reel is a little archaic.DirtyD64 wrote:Maybe, if I had control of that at Daiwa, the new releases would include a 90mm handle.

About "what they can improve upon", think back 10 years. Are the products of today what we imagined? I am stuggling how the Steez SV TW could get better too. Being lighter...sure but, at what expense? I dont want it to geel like a plastic toy and have it blow up. I also dont want to pay 150 bucks more for some space age materials that make the reel 30% lighter.
Slightly off topic. I still think the Pixy and Alphas NEED a frame update. It is good how it is but...i feel the same basic design for 10 or so years deserves an upgrade. Even if it gets a Steez SV TW like treatment near the clutch of the reel.
