Re: New pixy

$350 for an alphas air TW!!!

This is almost as bad as the $750 US Steez you can get from JDM retailers for about half.

Daiwa is just insulting our intelligence at this point.

Re: All new steez sv tw

$456 shipped to my door from Japan in 4 days for mine.

Daiwa USA is nuts. It’s a great reel. It’s not worth anywhere near $750. After taxes, it’s just under twice the price for the US model.

Re: All new steez sv tw

Daiwa introduces new reel.

Claims to upgrade from ‘hyper’ to ‘ultimate’.

Still has ‘hyper’ written on the side plate. Lol

Never change, Daiwa.

Just call TW and they will give you the discount by phone sale. They just can't advertise it or give the discount online.

Really? Isn’t this how tackle trap lost Shimano?

Re: Fluoro on Gekkabijin

How much did she hold? I use 8lb Tatsu on my Millionaire, put enough backing to where it only holds 50-55 meters. If I could get close to that the Gekka would be fine for 99% of fish I fight... I really don’t have a good answer for you as I didn’t do any sort of useful measuring when I spooled up. ...

Ordered Gekkabijin from digitaka on Monday.

It arrived at my house on Thursday.

Caught this bad boy on it today (Friday).

Re: Fluoro on Gekkabijin

I run straight 8 lb tatsu on both my Gekkabijins.

Caught this one today on a 1/16 oz crappie jig with the Gekkabijin on a Dobyns sierra ultra finesse. Handled her beautifully.

I ordered a Gekkabijin from digitaka on Monday.

I have a shipping confirmation and my package is moving. Looks like a few folks are working.

Re: 2021 Daiwa Zillion SV TW

I had a whole bunch of 20Mets. Posted lots of information on here about them. Loved them.

I now have zero Shimanos and all Zillions, Steez, Airs, etc.

Until Shimano fixes their MM gears, it’ll be a while before I own another one.

You won’t be disappointed with the Zillion.

Nice looking reel! It seems to me that they have made room for Boost brake by moving spool frame towards machinery side.

Indeed. To me this looks like an answer to the Alphas Air/Gekkabijin/silver creek reels with the boost technology.

Re: Dobyns Sierra Ultra Finesse Casting Rods

Just wanted to add to this thread.

The 6’5” light rod with both an Alphas Air and Steez Air is an incredible setup.

Better than any other spinning combo I’ve ever used for crappie.

Re: Steez A II Tws

The reel looks almost black in color but the Daiwa photos had it more of a blue color.

Re: Steez A II Tws

Better get our JDM gear now.

Bank of Japan just threw a wrench in the entire global economy and widened their bond yields. The Yen just got a lot stronger and looks to keep headed that way into the next year.
