Black drag star on TDZ 103ML?

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Black drag star on TDZ 103ML?

Post by zachman587 » Wed Mar 02, 2011 12:44 pm

why do some 103ML's have a black drag star and others do not, is there something different about the reel?

I've never seen a stock TD-Z 103ML with a black drag star.

I've never seen one either but would sure like a couple for my TD-Z 103's.

that's a custom painted reel so I'd assume the drag star is custom as well.

The pre swept handle Cabelas prodigy(advantage frame) had a black drag star like the fuegos and will fit the TDZ.
I had 1 on 1 of my fuegos for a while. Looked good w/ a carbon fiber handle.

I would assume it has been painted, as I have never seen one. This is one of Blakjack23's TDZs isn't it?
JDM quality is unsurpassed. Period.

either a custom painted or it is from the Daiwa BBS.

BBS comes with a black drag star that will fit any TD-Z

yes it is. I was considering purchase of a 103ml from a fellow tackle tour member but in the pics i noticed the black drag star. i asked him and he said they came like that.

Yup, thats my reel...well was, it has a new owner now. I actually bought a small parts lot on Ebay early last year from a guy in Austrailia and that was one of the parts. It does not seem like it was painted aftermarket, it seems factory to me. I always wondered if it was a stock part from a reel and now that teamdaiwarick posted that BBS pic I'm assuming thats where it came from. I still have the black drag star...I might be willing to sell it if someone is interested.
