Re: Every new Abu looking the same is incredibly dull and boring

Just saw the Zenon review. I imagine that after all these Revo generations, Abu is still not smart enough to include double bearings for the pinion gear? How many more generations will it take? Its just weird to me. Surprised to hear this has the line out alarm. Thought another TT memebr said they ...

Re: Do Ci4 based Shimano spinning reels feel hollow?

Yeah I hear you.

Grab the handle and rock it side to side and it flexes the stem/reel; but with more than normal torque you'd ever do while fishing.

Good to have options for sure.

Re: Do Ci4 based Shimano spinning reels feel hollow?

I notice flex in plastic reels; but I look for it and can't ignore it. Finally just this last month got my dream spinning reels. 2 3000 Excense and 2 Shimano Stella FK's. Love the feel and zero flex of metal reels and made in Japan even better. The light weight of Zaion is great and works perfect; b...

Re: Did the Zillion21 made the Met20 irrelevant?

Have seen and heard a lot of people switching from their Mets to the new Zillion. Even tho the Metanium is more expensive, the zillion has a lot of advantages over it. 1. Plastic side plate and top makes this a perfect reel for cold weather. 2. Aluminum frame and handle side plates makes it salt wa...

Re: If you have the same models in the original nrx and nrx+ what differences have you noticed in action/performamce?

The DSR 822 feels stiffer and better for me than the old. More versatile I think. Rated to 3/8 vs the old NRX 1/2oz. Got the 842S NRX+ and I love how it feels. both models about .3oz lighter and the reel seat is much more comfortable and alone is the reason I traded up. The 843C feels good; but I'm ...

Re: Daiwa 21 Luvias Airity spool compatiblity

It is my understanding it will fit. What won't fit is any 2500 size spool on Daiwa 3000 reel. Shimano 2500/3000 interchange across the board as far as I know within current generatrion reels; minus the newest Stella which has a new unique spool to Shimano. Others will chime in if I'm wrong I hope. H...

Re: Conquest 782s

10.5 oz? Is that correct? Exsence is 6.5 with line and 782 was listed as 3.31.

I'm close to getting the Conquest SJR 782 but not if it is actually 4 ounces.

Please scale weight rod if you have time.

Thanks.

Re: Quick Abu Zenon question

Call the retailer you bought from; or did you order on ABU website?

Guess there's a chance they could remove the spare spool; but never heard of that.

Return it and buy elsewhere man.

Re: Quick Abu Zenon question

Had one and it came with a shallow and stock. Mentioned on gere in another thread as well; but won't shock me if this is a cost cutting measure and they did away with it in this crazy world we are living in.
