Re: Zpi Zelos
If they're making another reel, this means the Alcance sold I don't get why would anybody bother with these when shimano/daiwa are a thing. Expensive Chinese reels with a ZPI logo on it doesn't make me want to get one. Hell, i don't even want to try one.
Re: Zpi Zelos
Lol, well obviously I am tempted I so enjoy my Zpi spools. While the first Alcance reels didn't tempt me, this new reel with seemingly better components has my attention.

Re: Zpi Zelos
I like the handle. Let's hope they can remember to add all the parts and pieces to this one before they hit the market.

Re: Zpi Zelos
Tore into the old reel, these reels literally piggy back off the name because it's just a branded part here and there with sub par everything else.
When I saw the reel I swore zpi was bought out

Looks like an aliexpress reel.
Re: Zpi Zelos
I think the reel is the same and these are upgrade parts (spool, drag star) branded Zelos for the reel? The reels still have the Alcance name on them

Re: Zpi Zelos
Seems I am the only sad person with an interest in ZPI reels. Others on this site must have had miserable experiences with ZPI Alcances. In a spur of the moment thing, I purchased a FishBand reel, which I donated to a friend after first use. While I have not used ZPI reels, ZPI reels seems on another level compared to FishBand. TT members may be aficionados in comparison, but Amazon.co.jp users have ZPI reels rated higher than many daiwas including the 21 Zillion...

Re: Zpi Zelos
I’ve kept my eye on the alcance since release. Every now and then I’ll try and find some reviews. No luck from actual owners or users tho.Dalleinf wrote: ↑Thu Mar 25, 2021 11:25 amSeems I am the only sad person with an interest in ZPI reels.
