Maybe this is old news, but this is the first I've seen of the new Daiwa Trillionaire and Black Widow.  Looks like they are based on the Exceller and TD-A, respectively.

i wonder how hard it would be for daiwa, abu, shimano, so on to offer not just 6.3:1 in these reels. id love to see a 3.8:1, maybe a 4.5:1...

I agree with Skunked Again completley I want these companies exspecially Qauntum to come out with with a ultra-low gear ratio like 3.8:1 or something like that for crankbaits.

That is news to me too. I like they looks of both, too bad the Black Widow is not available in LH.

For the same reason Shimano doesn't offer the Curado 200E5 in a LH version, just no demand for such a beast.

I remember the old version of the Black Widow, I had one back in the day. Man that thing was a piece of junk. Newer version based off that TDA frame should be a decent little reel if it's anything like the TDA.

They have been out for a while.  I bought several of the baitcasters last winter and spring.  Also bought the spinning reel.  The baitcaster looks sweet parked on a carrot and I am thinking of another carrot for the spinnging reel.  Here's a pic of the spinning reel:

BTW, I think the TDA Black widow II spinning reel only came in the 2500 size.  Never could find anything out from Daiwa about these reels.  The only place I saw them last winter was on e-bay.
