Has anyone ever used JDMfishing.com? They have a gear set I need for a Daiwa sv 105. The site looks good but never used them. TIA

Here's his website, US-based

Considering his limited selection, inventory, and the fact that he's onshore (VT area code), if he had something I wanted, especially needed, I would risk it.  

But to be sure, call him first

I've only borrowed his archive for drooling over Isuzu benchmade reels.

When they make up a batch of these, they sell them by lottery.

They're good.  I bought that same gear set to upgrade a TD Sol for a customer, got it in 4 days.

Looks like JDM Fishing is out of stock on both left and right gear sets.  As painful as this may sound, have you tried reaching out to Daiwa?  I say painful because their shipping method is horrendously slow.  They use FedEx Smartpost and it often tours the lower 48 before making it to your door.  It typically takes me 2 to 3 weeks to receive parts from Daiwa USA.

Why not try plat? Their shipping only takes about a week.

Plat orders from OEM once/wk, so it can take 1-2 weeks before they ship.

For a single parts order, likely the lowest-cost JP Post (vs. $28 FedEx), which takes longer to get here.

While that is an option, the cost of shipping can make it prohibitive if it's a customer's reel.  The only way to make it worth it is to place a larger parts order so the cost of shipping is offset.  Assuming DVT orders just the gears from plat, the cost would be roughly $100 with shipping at the current exchange rate.  At that point you might as well just buy a used SV105 for a parts unit from a Japanese seller.  I've seen them for under $150 on many occasions.

Try this place for hard to find discontinued Daiwa parts. They had a gearset and other small parts I couldn't find elsewhere. Make a request in the text box if you don't see the parts you need listed and a human will call you back. Better yet just call. Cynthia is thorough, will dig around, and easy to deal with., and they don't gouge on shipping.

Thanks everybody. Daiwa and all the other usual sources are a no go. I’ll take another ratio. Anything that will fit just to save the reel
