Somehow they shaved off 25 grams bringing it down to 150g's.

I think it's the weight of the frame only without a handle and a spool.

Really? A flat black reel is limited edition now? They're so boring with these colors.

Zillion HD plus SLP parts. Eh. Been waiting on a special LTD reel from Daiwa since the TN or 105.

Kinda of a shame that this is what they're considering as limited. The zillion is most likely their most successful baitcaster (other than the tatulas, i guess) in over a decade, and it looks extra generic with all the black and red accents.

I believe the "limited" part refers to limited numbers available as opposed to a limited edition reel.
For the DIYers amongst you, Plat and Japan Tackle, a board supporter, sell the body, without spool, handle and zero adjuster. If you have some parts lyimg around waiting for a home, it will save some money.

This just makes me sad. I miss early 2000s Daiwa.

I was wondering how they managed that kind of savings, lol. Yes...Daiwa is getting lazy with the limited reels.

They need to bring back more colors like the older T3 SLP works. Everything is black or silver nowadays
