That Tatula BF 70 is a clone of Salamandura air of last year just different color. I prefer salamandura over Tatula.joekaz wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 5:58 pmThe new Tatula BF 70 is already available on Tackle Warehouse.

Re: New pixy
With these prices, imagine if the IMZ is released in NA. Probably $1900 for the reel ![LOL :laugh1:](./images/smilies/ym11.jpg)

Re: New pixy
Gotcha. The overseas market already has the Salamandura Air TW, which is the same reel as that Tatula BF70. However, its a heck of a lot better looking than the bland grayscale reels we are getting in the States. I have one and its a really great reel. Got it for less than $190, so a much better deal, too.joekaz wrote: ↑Sat Mar 02, 2024 5:58 pmThe new Tatula BF 70 is already available on Tackle Warehouse.

Re: New pixy
Me too, I even thinking about making two tone color out of these new Alphas to make it more interesting. Luckily I have three of these beauties.Chode wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 10:36 amI miss the days off the airy red and canary yellow...RIP colored Daiwa reels...hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2024 6:16 amGotcha.

Re: New pixy
I am interested in a new Alphas or Pixy for BFS. I was looking at the Alphas 800S (shallow spool) or the Air version. My old Alphas SV105 with a 33mm spool doesn't cast very well when the line guide is all the way to the left or right. Once you take off about 2mm of line from the top of the spool, the angles on the line guide get more manageable and it casts much better because of less friction on the line guide. I think this is why the old 31mm spool on the old Pixy casts better with a full spool than the Alphas. Hopefully, the new SV spools on the Alphas and Pixy don't need less line than a full spool to cast well. I wouldn't think so with the TWS, but I sure don't want to lose Inches Per Turn of line pick up by being forced to have less than a full spool. I can't stand running a small diameter spool without it not being full of line. You need a 10 to 1 gear ratio to make up for it.

Re: New pixy
The Alphas Air TW or the Salamandura Air TW would be the reel for you. The spools are pretty shallow, so its not feasible to use them with less than a full spool.toddmc wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 3:22 pmI am interested in a new Alphas or Pixy for BFS.

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
Re: New pixy
Thanks. That is what I expected. It always bothers me when I see someone fishing a spool that is not even close to full.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 6:45 pmThe Alphas Air TW or the Salamandura Air TW would be the reel for you.

Re: New pixy
The Daiwa 21 Alphas SV TW 800 is a sweet little reel built like a mini Panzer, you can swing both ratio's on Amazon for the price of one pixy.
Pixy does have a cult following.

Re: New pixy
I was hoping to see something new. Maybe an entirely new frame with no T-wing. Thing is though, T-wing is kind of Daiwa's feature now, and I am not sure frames will get much smaller than the new Alphas style reels.
This is one of the reasons I think we see such small changes with new generations, scared that reel technology is going to plateau.

Re: New pixy
I don’t mind alphas frame but give me back the brake dial, TWS is fine but such a narrow spool TDZ line guide would be perfect too. Now to call PIXY, I would love magnesium frame to be super light plus some Daiwa colorful.DirtyD64 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2024 2:16 amI was hoping to see something new.
