Daiwa TD ito....

Abu pro max and black max in 1600 and 3600 size

 

Those are GREAT little reels. I have one of each in the 3600 size and love them!

 

The reel that I wish ABU would bring back is the Record 40. Shoulda grabbed one (or more) when I had the chance.

Another vote for the Chronarch D. 

 

On a side note: One thing I wish Shimano would have done when they came out with the new Curados was atleast keep the reel in a green paint scheme.

Chronarch D or the Calcutta TE series

Exactly this...

TD-Z, I wished I had stockpiled them when Cabelas blew them out at $200.00.

The new Conquest wipes the floor with the TE. The Micro gears and new braking system blow away the VBS and HEG.

Nope, they never blew them out for 200, they blew them out for 240, I know because I got 4 during that blow out.

I actually like this *** lot! It's like what Abu did with the original Ambassaduer Reels! Some of send this to the reel manufacturers!

Also another fantastic reel I'd love to see again.
