Actually looked at one, but wanted picked up a Tatula Elite for spinnerbaits, chatterbaits. Gonna shift the Alderbaran to a Cronos.
-
Thanks, I found a 15 Aldedaran for a good price on Amazon. Should be here next week. Have no idea what rod for it lol!
-
Cool
-
Yes we do.
-
What rod would y'all recommend? My most expensive rod is Tatula Elite AGS Ehler rod 7ft MMH 1/8-1oz. It ran about 289.99. Would a Zodias be good or should I look elsewhere?
-
20 lb copoly isn't bad I've found. I would never run straight braid on swim/glide baits.
-
Thanks for the summary.
-
Thanks everyone!

Yes, I did ask about high end, wanted those who read my post to have some understanding of what I own already. In hopes they could give recommendations, however most have eluded to the concept of personal preference which is totally acceptable. I ruled out JDM reels for the reason of DC reels, apples to apples so to speak, own a JDM reel would open the flood gates for me lol! Yes, I realize many people who never break the 250-300 dollar market on reels, but that doesn't rule out used high end reels lol! But we are getting no where now, with that I thank yee for all the words of wisdom and advice. Good night.
-
I listed what I own not what's high end.
-
Thanks people, love the feedback. Good chance when the tax return comes I know where it's going lol!
-
Well I guess that answers my question. Hmm, do I really want/need one maybe the obvious question than.
-
Thank you everyone who continues to contribute, hearing what others are saying helps aid in my decision. Still wondering if the price is worth the performance, that's the hardest thing for me and justifying the cost. The weight savings is nice, but honestly I'm a big guy 6'4" and 270ish and throwing big baits only because a challenge when they get heavier for as in swim/glidebaits(no I do not intend to use a high end reel for big baits).
-
Thank you everyone for the continued thoughts, information, and opinions. I will continue to read and research information. If a purchase is made, one of the contributing factors will be the handle length and knobs on said handle. Typically like 90-100mm handles however the Zillion I own presents little issue for me.

Can't see Daiwas being like Ferrari aside from being they are imported. My Shimano list of owned reels includes: Curado 70 7:2:1, Curado 200 7:2:1, and Chronarch CI4+ 7:5:1. Sold the Chronarch and Curado 200I, honestly think Daiwa has the market in terms of 100-300 reels. Don't know how the Steez would stack up versus an Alderbaran or Metanium let alone an Anteres.
-
So people still give the edge to Daiwa? Interesting, here I thought Shimano would win out.
-
Only matter of time before someone posted this, you're right it is about preference. Breaking system, feel, and the like. Thank you.
-
Cool, glad you went! Met him at Joes earlier this spring. Great guy with lots of knowledge.
-
Tom could you share some of what youve eluded to? Shimano peaking with the Core100? I've only just recently got into the bass game last summer. I'm loving my Daiwa reels, but I've got the itch to try a high end Shimano. Thanks.
-
Out of the two Tatula SV, just seems better bang for buck.
-
I've been a big Daiwa fan since the release of the Tatula SV and have been primarily fishing Daiwa since. Still however there is this affinity with shiny things lol! So who has the best high end baitcasters? Daiwa or Shimano? Talking specifically USDM not JDM. I currently own: 3xTatula SVs: 6:3:1, 7:3:1, 8:1:1 Zillion SV 6:3:1 Curado 70 7:2:1 I'd like to hear from everyone who reads this.
-
You were at Throne Bros then? From my understanding and all I own is Daiwa (aside from one Shimano) take the side to side play out of the spool by tightening up the cast control knob then adjust braking on side for lure weight/distance. I'm sure someone else can explain it better, but that's the nuts and bolts of it.
-
Cannot speak for the spinning rods, but my casting rod is the Ehler AGS and boy I can feel everything. Solid rods.
-
Exactly why I went to a medium.
