Daiwa Project T 2021

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.

Going back to the time of the original Project T’s videos came out and they would be posted here instead of just commenting they are up..... Laaaaazzzy....

They are really touting how smooth these zillions are, I'm looking forward to seeing what they bring.

It will be interesting how well they are received. It does look like it was color matched to the Tatula Elite rods. I have the Ish frog rod, so I may get one if people are happy with them.

Those videos are starting to really wear on me, a diehard Daiwa fisherman. The Tatula spyder over and over before, and now HYPER, HYPER, HYPER! I will probably run into Brent on Lake Perris (where his part of the videos was shot) later this week. I'm gonna ask him if he is really feeling hyper. :D My team partner had to tow him in a few weeks ago because he was having troubles while breaking in his new boat. My buddy (Shimano staffer) wasn't willing to ogle his reels. What a missed opportunity to see what real reels feel like! :laugh1:

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

The 2021 Zillion Sv Tw still isn't posted on the Jdm daiwa website even though it's already on sale on jdm tackle sites. Been looking for more detailed specs before buying..... :(

I don't know who's worse, Ehrler or Ish, but Ehrler is stupid annoying in this one. :roll:

I wish they would use Feider. His videos breaking down techniques are great and he uses a lot of the old variants like the Pixy, so I think he could break down reels good.

I really don't know how Ehrler pulls the sponsor money he pulls. I'd love to know how well these new zillions are lubed from the factory.If somebody on here gets to crack one open before I do , your findings would be greatly appreciated.

I'm curious to know what lube Daiwa recommends on aluminum gears.

Got mine from japanlureshop and its cheaper than plat and digitaka. Goos luck, they only have the 7 gear ratio left hand at the moment.
