Agreed, I've bought a few different aliexpress handles. They are not the same quality as the Daiwa carbon fiber handles.SSS wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 5:12 amYea i know. Just referring to the build quality. It might look similar to a certain chinese handle, but when you have em side by side, there's a big difference.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 11:43 amThe usdm zillion type r had the same 90mm handle as this red zillion.SSS wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 1:47 pmI know exactly what chinese carbon handle you're referring to, i have three, and they are not it. This is the proper RCS handles without RCS 90 written on them. Same as the PX68 Alphas Type R and air stream custom handles.LowRange wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 8:38 amIt looks like one of those cheap chinease handles that sort of look like an RCS carbon. Still the plastic nut retainer is dumb. I bet Daiwa got a lot of negative feedback from the US about the colored nut retainers and that pushed then to just use plastic retainers on their non enthusiast reels.
The px68 and air stream custom handles were 80mm.

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
Re: Red Zillion SV TW 1000.
I’m not sure if it is really burgundy color. Is your salamandura air burgundy or red? On some image the red look the same. Why Daiwa use skeleton knob on these reels? The reason I didn’t get salamandura air because I have too many shallow spools for all Daiwas and I don’t like skeleton knob.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 11:47 amThis 'red' zillion is actually burgundy. Not sure that would look good on your HD with those bright red anodized parts.

Re: Red Zillion SV TW 1000.
Its definitely burgundy, but it does have a ton of ultra fine metalflake. Im pretty much neutral on the skeleton knobs. Ill use them if they are there. I neither like nor dislike them.Just_Bass wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 7:41 pmI’m not sure if it is really burgundy color. Is your salamandura air burgundy or red? On some image the red look the same.
