Waiting on the left hand hd as well

The 8 gear lefty comes in stock pretty regularly. I'm waiting on the 7 gear myself.

Me too. Check Digitaka a few times a day.

Would it be impossible to run around 8-10lb fluoro? How much would it hold? I have not tried it yet with fluoro as I am mostly a braid guy. It's definitely a faster brake profile. It's ideal with the thinner premium braids. Hopefully someone will try it and report back. I would be the wrong person ...

I received my silverwolf last week. very nice reel. The spool is very fast and I wouldn't suggest use with mono or fluro line . I have 20lb sufix 832 on it and was using to cast 1/4 to 3/8 lures and definitely had to use higher brake settings than i would with other SV spools. typically i would use...

Unless the guides are breaking during actual use i.e. fishing ; then the issue is how anglers are handling their rods. If people are treating them like I see some sponsored pros treat their kit during tournaments then I would not be at all surprised the ags guides break. They are built with maximum ...

I am likely grabbing a few of these. From what I can tell they are all very tight smooth. I will be upgrading to the 12-1.

Never mind found it. Also Japan Tackle had the specs wrong its 10-1 bearing same as the SV and HD.

Thanks guys

I like it. I have one in the cart at digitaka now. Just waiting on availability of the Alphas shallow spool model effort I buy. Bushings in the levelwind seems plausible, given that it's actually designed specifically for "saltwater bfs". Bearings in the levelwind won't last in salt, no matter what...

Was looking over the specs on Japan Tackle. I figure as its not specifically mentioned and it's meant for light line it has alum gears. It shows magseal printed on the body so we can take that as confirmation. I thought for sure it would have the same bearing count as the Zillion SV TW and HD ver bu...

Yes. Do a YouTube search and watch the video of the rotor spool action. It's sick. I have never seen such a consistent tight line spool.

Thank you for the info! I agree about the felt drag. Shimanos upper models have great line lay. Speaking of line lay, I just got to see the line lay of Shimanos premier surf casting spinning reel. The Aero Techinum MGS it has the Long Stroke Spool plus Super Slow Oscillation 10 (had never heard of i...

Yes that is why I like changing handle length as it changes the the circumference of the circle the handle covers. The IPT as you stated does not change but the change in handle length changes the distance of the arc and gives a +/- change in leverage as well. Just an easy way to effect retrieval ra...

At the top of your price range Certate LT all the way. I have the 5000D. IMO at its price point especially if you get it thru Digitaka for mid $300s I do not think it has a match. I would recommend either the C3000 or the reg 3000. Both give you options down or up r s pectively in spool size capacit...

What year did the frame size change from the og to the newer? The 50th was what 08?

Sort of a weird question but it seems there's quite a bit of parts cross referencing between these two models. Sort of Legos like. I was wondering for those that may have both in the same size or have the knowledge. Does the rotor assemblies interchange? The schematics are most much help as the Vanf...
