I believe it was Guido Hibdon who won the Classic on an SS1300. Picked up a Japan made SS700 and it's a nice little reel. I have own 700, 1300, and 1600 in the past. Should have kept them. I believe they have been in the Daiwa lineup consistently starting in 1987.

Here are just some of the classics that are in my lineup among others. The fully mint or nib versions of each haven’t left their boxes. ? Added some recent blue to this Ito/105h hybrid.

I try to find as many of these as I can. My dad who passed in 2015 used these and they were his favorite bait. I remember being a young boy and going to a place near me called Zambor's and Bush Hog's were all over the shelf!

Megabass Brigand or Enforcer or Steez AGS 76MML. You will love any of those choices.

And that's a big auction site GoMexus handle. Aren't the nice for the price!

I could be wrong but I am pretty sure its the old frame. The new SV has the 100 frame even thought the CT is labeled a 100. Look at the side plate lines and screw placement. Also, the cast control knob. I think it's just the old CT re-colored.

New model is the same exact reel with blue highlights and updated knobs.

I have a Certate LT, Luvias LT, two Exist 3012H, a Ci4+, among many other reels. The Certate is a truly work of art. You won't be disappointed. They are awesome reels and I would buy another.

Cool...if it is (as I am not familiar with the older spools), how do they perform? Thanks!

Not sure if it's a Ray's. Wouldn't be a zillion spool though since this is a TD-Z (34mm) and a Zillion is a 36mm spool. I bought two off of someone on TT. They are really nice spools!

Subtle, classic, finesse...

Saw that soon after I posted that in your For Sale post. Nice looking reel regardless!

Those SS Tatula reels are going for a pretty premium penny right now since they were so limited!

There is on the Megabass rod that I put it on!

What size Certate? I just picked up a 4000-CXH. Here is my Certate 4000-CXH. Changed out the knob to an RCS cork with a champagne gold cap. Best wishes on the water!

Gorgeous perfection.

It's a really good reel. For $150 it's better than most. Shimano and Daiwa are the brands to stick with.

Cork looks so much nicer on the Luvias...

2020 JDM Luvias LT 4000-CXH. I am probably going to change the T knob to an I knob in black or cork with a champagne gold cap to match the accents of the reel. This is the made in Japan model. Reel weighs 7.6oz. and it’s the shallower spool JDM version of the 4000 size.

Nice! Got a link?

What handle would you recommend?

A new finesse special...Dobyns with a CT SV!

And/or buy some of MountainMan83's spacers! They are awesome!

Haha! Yes, I have 11 of them (6 XS and 5 H)! Three currently in rotation and the rest are NIB as I think they will hold their value in the future but I don't plan on selling them as they really are my favorite reels. And yes, that is a Megabass FX68 Custom spool which I believe is a 1010. I have purchased previously from this seller who is an active member on here and he is a good guy. Everything looks good and the reel was tuned by Ian. Thank you for the heads up though.

This Ito arrived yesterday from a great member on here. TD-Ito with Megabass purple spool, Zillion TW SV G1 spool, and he even threw in a free reel cover and Megabass bait! Class act for sure! Thank you Scrapiron!
