Re: Japan Reels for you who dont know.

HAHA yea i guess it is. <br />The top ITO AI is a special addition that Mr. ITO designed from japan and it runs 250s,but I got it for less. <br /><br />The Red Pixy Alone was 300ish.....handle/knobs/4bearings was 90, and the IZE spool was 60ish, but they are THE most easy reels to cast light baits out there.

Re: Japan Reels for you who dont know.

I'm getting used to my first baitcaster, a Daiwa Advantage. How do your Daiwas compare to your Shimanos? That is, if you've had a chance to try 'em out yet.<br /><br />Dan

Re: Japan Reels for you who dont know.

The thing i dont like about the daiwas is the drag star not being clicking and being stamped alluminum not like the scorpions. The other thing is they can throw UL baits, BUT thats what they are made for. Drags on the daiwas is more than the scorpions(shimanos) and dont have as much play in the handles like the shimanos do.
