Haters gon hate xD

I think the regular, black FX68 looks the best. What rod are you putting it on?

Not positive yet. Either an *** Black 2, Daiwa DX-Bass, or Zillion.

Could you please explain why?

T3s are the most polarizing reel in the Daiwa platform. People either hate it or love it.

It seems like a great platform to me. Plus the Megabass logos add some incentive for me.

Idk anything about either reel but after you get the one you want post some impressions about it. I'd love to hear it. There's several Daiwas I'm interested in checking out at some point.

Will do! I got a new Fuego and I love it so I figured I'll start getting some high end Daiwa stuff too. Glad I tried their products.

Nice! Is it a new to you Fuego or the New model of the fuego? My buddy was just looking at those ended up with something else. He loves his previous gen Fuegos.

It's the new generation Fuego. Not sure how it stacks up against the older, more expensive Fuego's but it's a good reel no doubt.

So, have you had a chance to play around with the FX68?  Would love to hear an update as I may be close to pulling the trigger on one soon.

To be totally honest with you, the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like a bad idea. I figure I should put a solid Arsenal together before I really get into enthusiast tackle and gear. I ended up going with a Curado I to save some money, which I'm impressed with. I still plan on picking up one of these reels eventually. Sorry I can't help you, but the feedback from others seems great on the reel.
