Daiwa Coastal

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Warhawk wrote:Daiwa has had a few “Coastal” reels in the last few years. The Zillion Coastal is a great reel. The one based on the Aird was ok, but nowhere near as nice. The last one is blue, based on the Tatula, I love this one but I’m a big fan of the TWS reels, I had to ditch the handle though, this big round grips are a no go for me. It’s got a cheap eBay cork knob handle now, love it.
This was the Coastal I was thinking about it and didn't think it to be up for tarpon

Very nice! I did a few things to mine when I tore it apart. Carbontex, levelwind bearings, Abec 5's and a few cosmetics. Going to get a Mag Z spool and I'll be set.

That was what was good about that kit, it comes with a carbontex washer for below the gear as well. I hadn't even thought about the spool being magforce v. You will be set with z
