I don't have any issues with the finish on mine but I found that some reels, not all, rock on the reel seat.

Very smart, much better the Stradic FI or the Tierra and up. I have a Symetre for sale, on line twisting they sucks. I have been using the Exceler 2000 and 2500 for salt water and they are OK. Stay away from cheapo Shimanos

NICE!! Thanks...love it

I have to think about this one.....probably, Pixillas, TD-Z 103 Type R+, TD Ito and Steez 103.

That question will never be answer :-/

Very good news. Thanks for posting it

Lighter spool. Coated pinion and pawl = Less friction during the cast.

That is not normal. Like RM said contact them, I had to use their warranty service and is excellent.

I have a few Airrus rods including a Puls-R baitcaster, their quality and warranty are top, but they are a bit heavier than a similar on a different brand, say St Croix Avid or Gloomis IMX.

You can also get it from this guy, may be even a couple of bucks cheaper, but like Robert said, that is the only way, the knobs shaft on the Revos handle is way thicker than in the Daiwas http://www.brooklynbillstackleshop.com/bassart/bassart.html

I also agree with the other guys. I have TGs and ABEC 5 ceramics from Smoothdrag.com in my Daiwas. The only ones that I noticed any and very little difference were with my Pixys. TD-Zs, Alphas and Shimano Scorpion were exactly the same.

Me too

I have fish with the SX and STX, close very similar and I think is a good general reel......I refuse to use Shimano's b/c of the century outdated VBS .......and not, they are not Daiwas

The Revo S is like to go back to the old Jurasic Shimano things. Sx and Stx are very similar, if it is on your budget to go with STX. If it not.....Daiwa HSTA.

E-21 for me

I thought that both were very even,.....but I sold my STX

I have the same rod......Queen of the heavy cover.

Zillion........ or Revo if you fish righty.

Highly recommend.

Same here

The knobs on the JDM can be remove and the plastic spacers replace by same size ball bearings. I does make a big difference.

Nope Hate VBS on any reel....Shimalo or other. Neutral. Revo ST & STX system. Love. Megaforce V, Z and specially Type R. If you are not on that list, you are out completely ;D

Do you have any ?

Anyone else guys? It would be really appreciated. Thanks

It plays OK for me. Very good info, thanks. Impressed by diameter of the knot on a line-to-leader, which is my only complain with the uni-uni knot. I'll be trying that tool if I can find it
