He’s the last on I finished. Has a Zonda Hedgehog spool, Orange zeal’s, polished internals. Simply and clean.

Me loving to finesse for smallmouth it’s going to be:
1-Kistler KLX Ned Rig rod 7’0 light action fast.
2-Kistler Helium 3 Med/light 7’0

For me it’s 3 rods:
1-Kistler KLX 7’0 Light action Ned Rig casting rod.
2-Kistler Helium 3 med/light 7’0 casting rod
3-Kistler Helium 3 Medium casting rod those are my 3 main rods.

For me it’s about the Alphas body!

Kistler KLX Ned Rig rod, 7’0 light action rod.

Here’s a little purple for you.

Very nice, Staten Island. Somewhat partial to the Alphas platform myself. I'm pretty sure my collection is limited to six...2 Sols, 2 Purple Alphas, 1 Alphas F, 1 ito Ai, and 1 Alphas SV105. Oops...7. Thank you! I just purchased the Alphas 103, was able to get it mint without a mark on it, for cheap!

I use to love the original Daiwa Zillion rods!

For me I can’t get enough of the older Alphas/Zonda, the body type is perfect for my hands. Made in Japan and build to last!

Here’s my purple reel.

A couple of mods

Daiwa Tatula SV TW with hedgehog parts and Daiwa Red RCS knobs.

What are the differences between the jdm and us version beside the line guide color and knobs?
