It seems to me that this new daiwa platform (steez A platform) is the same shape in all its variants, but not the same size. I began thinking this when I received my new 10's and they palmed better than my tat 100's....even though the frames appear to be the same.

Very curious as to how the 10’s palm as compared to the newly released Zillion 1000 SV ‘s.

I see a clicking drag and am curious as to what material the gear is. I like the array of retrieve ratios though.

Speaking of which (kinda), the Zillion 10 (JDM) has clicking drag bug NOT clicking cast control.

I'm seeing these for as little as 275. Tempting but I don't like the way the Tatula CTs palm.
Zillion 10’s at $275 ?
Yep. I happened to come across them on Aliexpress. $7 shipping. There appears to b some sort of large sale on everything on the site.. I've bought loads of stuff off that site but never anything that expensive. I trust them but it is still Aliexpress. Expect to wait a month and have no tracking info the whole time.

Pic because links are forbidden when we are dealing with something like a reel. Cal doesn't seem to care about links to ali when it is their spools and parts and we stay in our diy spool containment thread.

I don't seem to recall a policy of forbidding links to other sites that are offering deals or sales. In fact, we have a sub-forum dedicated to this type of information. A sub-forum, incidentally, I didn't agree with because to me, it's a matter of respecting and honoring those vendors that support this site directly and make it possible to keep this place running.

If anything, if I, or our moderators, removed anything from the vendor you're talking about right now, it was probably due to a question of legitimacy. I couldn't say for sure though.

Hadn't seen this newest 1000 version...clearly aimed at the Metanium. "Let's make it the same color in case anyone is confused. "
