Nice! That makes feel better about my decision to go ML. I have a handing miraclebass but its a light-fast. Not bad for $17 but I need a little more backbone. Jealous of that PB! Trying to break my 6.2lb PB this year!

Wow! I’m way under budget for reel#1. I did a little bit more research and I might be able to afford an Alphas BF TW (I wish). Thanks for the tip! You saved me a lot of money!

I found a 2021 Zillion SV TW 1000 in a 6.3 gear for $196. Is this the one you would recommend? Sorry for all the questions. I'm so lost in the sauce on the trim levels lol.

Ok, perfect! I didn't realize the Zillion could be found under $200! I didn't even look in that direction because of the price Ok, great! There's so many options I just wanted to make sure I was getting what I needed. Nothing worse than spending $250 on something that you can't really use lol. Out of curiosity, what are your setups and what do you mainly use those for?

Ok perfect! I was going to do 10lb braid to a 8lb invizx leader.

Awesome! I didn’t even look at zillions because they are normally like $350. I’m going to start the hunt for one tonight!

Thanks! I didn't know about the BFS spools. I will have to check those out!

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum, but definitely not new to fishing. I have been doing a lot research via the forums on the site, but was unable to find an answer to my specific question. I just picked up a Zodias ML-Fast and an Expride Medium glass rod. The ML will basically replace one of my spinning setups for small 1/8-1/4 oz treble baits like the strike king 100 jerkbait and the Megabass X80 jr, but I will also be fishing lightwire hooks with weightless plastics and ned rigs, mojo rigs, 1/8oz t-rigs. The glass rod will be a cranking setup mostly fishing in 2'-8'. I spent a lot of time finding the correct rods, but now I am completely overwhelmed by the amount of reels that Daiwa offers. I really like the Daiwa BF70 for the ML, but someone at bass pro said that might not be the best choice since the spool doesn't hold much line? I saw the new Alphas BF TW, but saw that the Tatula SV TW 70 also is a finesse reel. I am so lost guys lol. Can someone please help me out. Doesn't necessarily have to be Daiwa either. I would love to stay in the $150-$250 range for both reels if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!
