ICAST 2019
Re: ICAST 2019
coastal sv , same frame as the tatula elite. they tried to tell me the coastal and the elite frame is slightly different than the tatula 100 but , visually I couldn't see a difference. they said something like "smoothing out some edges" but , idk..
Re: ICAST 2019
So this is it from Daiwa??? Nothing really "new" new??? No big deal, I am fine with the current upper echelon, just wanted something more I guess...
Re: ICAST 2019
Overall I’m somewhat disappointed. Over the last two ICASTs, I have not seen any new rods or reels that I would consider to be a worthwhile improvement over what I am currently using. Which suits me fine!

Re: ICAST 2019
If they didn't announce it at iCast, I imagine we are going to be waiting a while.

You are probably right...about the time we heard about the Steez CT.IlliniDawg01 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 13, 2019 2:17 pmIf they didn't announce it at iCast, I imagine we are going to be waiting a while.

Re: ICAST 2019
So tell me what looks plasticky about this one. I'm not a flashy kind of guy, but this is one of my favorites out of all the Alphas variants I've owned over the years. I sold off most of them, but kept this one and an Alphas SV105P.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: ICAST 2019
So are you saying the SV spool on the new coastal isnt deeper?Aquaftm45 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 11, 2019 4:46 pmThere are no dumb questions when it comes to Daiwa's latest offerings
It's on a 34mm platform, so no.
p.s. There is nothing "coastal" about the Coastal other than the blue color.

Re: ICAST 2019
I do miss mine, it sucked when I bought it but the spool bearing was bad. Put in new ones and it was much better and then it managed to some how come loose on the front deck and it now resides near rocky creek in deadman bay in about 9ft of water along with a st criox rod.E73Bass wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2019 10:07 amThis...

Yes... You are correct ... and the 2 models that have followed since this original are a tad better. I owned this one you show and when the upgraded Zillion versuon was introduced... I got rid of the OG coastal.
My mistake the Zillion Coastal ( now discontinued) was a step up in quality and a different animal.

Re: ICAST 2019
I will agree with that, though the original was a solid reel for it's time.
