Is it graphite or an advanced technology given to humans by extraterrestrial visitors as some ancient astronauts researchers theorize?

It means you have zero spool tension. If the spool slides side to side then there is no compression of the spool tension knob on the spool shaft. Most of my reels across many brands are set up the way.

Because a BFS rod (bass rod) is very different from a trout rod. Plenty of brand offer both and what we see time and time again is the bass rods get the BFS treatment and the trout rods are broken down into stream or area and are not referred to as BFS rods. Perhaps this is just a way of designating certain models within a bass rod lineup as the lighter powered, finesse orientated rods by adding BFS onto the end but the fact is that if it has BFS on it then there are a near 100% chance it's a bass stick and you will be hard pressed to find a trout rod from Japan with BFS written on it. If it's from Japan and has BFS written right on it then its a BFS stick. If that means they are all too stiff to cast trout mangents, well, get a trout rod.

Is the text you posed and the image provided unrelated? That length, power and description are that of the classic BFS rod. That is no stream or area trout rod.

I would start with the sv boost spool. Those are supposed to cast really well in the steez sv tw. Not sure if there is an hlc spool that fits these reels.

I was not aware that the steez sv tw could not accept zillon 1000 gears. In what what are the the two steez different from a gear fitment perspective?

I think they updated the hooks and added a weight transfer on some baits like the flat a too.

The spools are completely different. One is an sv spool and the other a magZ spool.

Yes. I would get a boost sv spool from the new zillion but that's me.

Steez A for the aluminum frame and higher capacity magZ spool. If it was me I would be going with a morethan pe or zillion hd. Not sticking a blue reel with tatula knobs on a p5.

But that isn't misinformation. It's the opposite actually. They were misinformed into thinking that lews was a reel company and distraught to find out that they are a brand name that orders their reels from someone else with their name out the outside. That's the truth. I have a feeling if this was known from the start no one would care or get their feelings hurt. Its this building up of the brand into something they are not and then finding out the truth that seems to rub people the wrong way as if their ignorance was the brand somehow betraying them. If anything getting the truth out there so it is widely known would end this cycle. I like doyo reels. I like the ones lews orders. I want one with that quet cast swing arm centrifugal and lews seems to be the only one ordering reels with that brake.

Whatever meaning it had in Japan has been completely lost and roughly translates these days to "baitcasting ackle for light weights for any species". We have Ajing, 7+ foot long salt rods and trout rods being thrown around as "BFS" just because it's an easy acronym to throw around. ML does fall it into the BFS camp. Shimano BFS lines of their bass rods top out with ML.

Yes. One of my favorites.

Very different. Its a wider reel with an aluminum side plate and the same gears as the tatula ct. Its actually the original tatula 100. The tatula ct is a skinny version of that reel with a plastic side plate. The 100 is a an all new even smaller reel with new gears however the spool is the same dimensions as the tatula ct. Daiwa also changed how they rated line capacity at the time of the new 100 and also conveniently renamed the old 100 the 150 and the old 150 the 200 when they brought them back in flat black paint. The tatula 150 is nearly 10 years old. http://www.tackletour.com/reviewdaiwatatula.html

The 100 and tatula ct have the same spool dimensions and hold the same amount of line. Same with the fuego ct and the tatula elites reels. Fun fact: for $45 you can drop a tatula elite long cast spool into a tatula 100, tatula ct or fuego ct.

Bass pro does not design reels. They purchase them from people who design, manufacture and sell reels. Reeves left bass pro and took the lews brand with him to do the same thing he was doing at bass pro but with the lews brand essentially resurrecting it and saving it from bass pro/browning. This is a good thing.

Are we trying to create some head canon about how lews is a fishing reel manufacturer that designs their own reels from scratch and just uses "the doyo factory" to build their reels and that that browning or bass pro just for some reason could put the lews name on products and that the manufacture, lews, was independent and designing reels in secret this whole time?

It was owned by browning which was owned by bass pro and the brand was dead in the water. Story goes that the bass pro employee worked with doyo to source bass pro reels and was upset that bass pro was switching to a cheaper chinease oem for their house reels and left the company but managed to take the lews brand as part of the deal and then brought the dead brand back to life using doyo reels. There was some bad blood between lews and bass pro after this and lews reels were blacklisted by bass pro for some time. To me its a great story of resurrecting a brand and working to bring the best doyos to the US market. Some of the early halo reels they had made were pretty cool. They were taking very good doyo platforms and specing them out to me strongly reminiscent of the origional lews reels with a non instant antireverse cranking reels and reels with a lews medallion on the center of the side plate which i thought was cool.

Zillion 10 is an older reel and not as smooth in the same ratio as other new zillions and much less smooth because of the stupid 10:1 gearing. Also the zillion 10 palms like a tatula ct because that's what it's based on. That gen of zillions aren't the best.

Brake movement is only an sometime an issue if you cast while palming the reel. Just cast normally and that won't be an issue.

Make up whatever head canon you need. We all have our ways of coping with things that bother us. I would say just don't let it bother you that they are doyo with their name on the outside. They were owned by bass pro of all companies for years and effectively dead. It's good that the brand is back selling competent reels.

These have a 4 position brake cup the the ray's studio spools for daiwa reels but also have an ftb like brake on the reel plate. Strange but new. I wonder if ray's made the spools for them like dream tackle did the hakai. They look just like a ray's long cast spool for 34 mill reels down the 4 position fixed rotor. http://www.tackletour.com/previewicast22arkfishing.html

I like how with daiwas the components are on spool making it easy to swap in an sv spool into a reel that did not have one or the opposite and put a magZ spool in a reel with an sv spool or even converting old spools to sv spools with parts. You do end up with a lighter weight spool though when the components are on the reel side though a walled garden approach.

Basically a impulse driven nonlinear magnetic brake like sv but similar in execution to shimano's ftb. A few oems have figured this out. This is a kastking reel with it. Doyo also has two versions of a similar brake.

It is still very likely an oem reel with their name on it but they either had that oem make them a frame based on their request or this is an unused frame from an existing product line from that oem and this is the 1st time we are seeing it. I know kasrking has an ftb like nonlinear mag brake reel so whatever oem they use now is capable of offering that type of brake to the market. We don't know what "gravity control" mag brake is but I bet it is something like that.
