A Better Levante? Megabass Remakes their Mainstream Rod Series

Image

Introduction: For many years Megabass rods were reserved for enthusiasts, those that saw fishing tackle as more than just tools, but rather functional works of art. The Levante Series changed all that when it introduced the brand to mainstream anglers. This season Megabass has completely remade the Levante Series, following the recognizable actions of their popular Orochi XX Series, and introducing some of the features and refinement from their higher end rod lines. Over the last few weeks we have begun fishing the new Levante rods, and got the inside scoop on the design from Kenichi Iida, Product Manager at Megabass, who was responsible for creating the updated Levante Series.

Quick question, what's the spinning reel used in the review? Looks like it says Daiwa on the spool, and several components look very Daiwa-ish, but I can't seem to find a USDM or JDM reel that looks quite like it.

It's the previous generation USDM Daiwa Steez

Thanks for the quick response! Just started taking my fishing more seriously and looking into everything on the market, so it looked nice but threw me for a loop.
