Re: Bearing cleaning in ultrasonic cleaner

Maybe just a normal feeling of dry bearing as long as it doesn’t make sound and smooth spin after add oil, I wouldn’t worry about it. I soak my in acetone/nail cleaner in a jar on top of aquarium air pump, then wash off with isopropyl alcohol and let air dry overnight.

Re: Red Zillion SV TW 1000.

Really hard to tell from the picture if mismatched hood on this one. I wonder where can we just get just the parts. Last time I have a friend contact Daiwa Malaysia with no success. May be red hood would look better on HD instead of flat black? This 'red' zillion is actually burgundy. Not sure that...

Re: Budget Spinning Reels... Legalis best bang for buck?

I used to have old Legalis LT, pretty smooth and good for budget type fishing. Got the new 2023 2000S-P for lower speed retrieve and even like it a lot, smooth and feel solid can compare with other 100 reels out there. I normally use ballistic FW, Kage LT and Vanford and don’t mind at all to include...

Re: Are you using any Chinese manufactured reels?

If I can afford I would buy trusted brand name Shimano/daiwa. If I cannot Walmart reel Abu, or alike would do me better than getting something I don’t know and no warranty whatsoever. You get what you paid still count. I’d rather buy used reel in flemarket. I have some low price reel as disposable w...

Still price is over $300 though. If the price come down to around JDM zillion < 250 I might got one to match my silver zillion an...

Daiwa Tatula MQ LT.

Have anyone service these reels yet? I told myself I don’t need anymore spinning reels since I don’t use these often enough and still own 4 of the Daiwas. I don’t find the need of MQ body and MagSeal for my regular bass and crappie fishing and those add more complications when servicing the reel. I ...

Re: New pixy

How about another Tatula. The new BF 70 is coming. That makes 12 Tatulas listed on Daiwa's web sight. This is based on the Alphas Air TW, not the tatula 70/80 frame. The new Tatula BF 70 is already available on Tackle Warehouse. It has a BFS spool. Gotcha. The overseas market already has the Salama...

Re: New pixy

Why 70? Let get it straight Daiwa, don’t get me wrong I like Daiwa, sold most Shimanos. Stop trying to be Shimano for just one second, please. They have had the 70 for 3 years now. The tatula 80 is standard. The tatula 70 is the sv version of the 80. Speaking of, I figure they may release the alpha...

Re: Enough with the tackle. LETS SEE SOME FISH!

It’s been quite awhile since I hold a big slab. Worth the cold and got up at two in the morning. Only one crappie but damn 5 bass. That is fine table fare! I agreed, white flaky meat plus cold water to booth the firm and clean taste. Too bad it 2-3” bigger than I would want. That is okay I can enjo...

Re: 2024 SLX with MGL 3 spool.

That sucks that your slx dc xt is starting to feel Geary. Did servicing it help with the geary feeling? What did you use yours for mainly? I have one and it’s as smooth as the day I got it and it was most used for chatterbaits and crankbaits. Aside from my zillion sv I used this slx dc xt just as m...

Re: 2024 SLX with MGL 3 spool.

The SLX is okay for its price point, the frame is small enough and comparable with Curado 70 or Tatula TW 80, I agreed a lot of newer Shimano get geary and noisy over time and this thumb bar design is suck a$$ especially when wet and slippery. To be fair you have to compare SLX line up with Tatula 1...
