Just picked one of these up! It's a lot of reel for the money ... The new design to hide all of the screws makes the reel look cutting edge but it requires taking the rotor off to get to all of the screws.
One thing to note is that Shimano will never have anything within Daiwas budget friendly zone. That could compete on this level, I’m a heavy Daiwa and Shimano user. So I love them both but in terms of price point and versatility, Daiwa takes the win by far.
Could you fit 150yd of 10# braid? Seems like you could based on the numbers on the box... Question is "Is Diawa's box accurate with respect to how much line this spool can hold?"

Hey my friend..is it a screw in handle?
Great vid! Do you know if there is a big difference between this new version, and the last generation gold/gray version?
I don’t believe that one has the high gear ratio.

I have not checked if the advertised numbers in the box are accurate. I have been using the reel and love it though!
What kind of line are you using on this reel? As well with the pounds i am learning as I go newbie here lol
6 lb Berkley Trilene XL
How much 10lb braid does it hold?
I’d have to check the specs. I filled mine with mono.
