Drakestar,

Don’t miss the silver lining, it’ll be the first time she’s relieved you’re just buying tackle!

If Plat doesn’t allow it I live in Japan and can hook it up.

yay, i've got space on the rack for another ulitma

What model is that older Steez in the middle, back row?

I ended up ordering a Slp Zillion in 7:1 on May 6. There were no discounts being here in Japan. I paid full price 32,000 JPY for the body, 14,000 JPY for a boost spool and 11,000 JPY for a SLP 95mm carbon handle. I’m sure it won’t be any better then the regular Zillion but that’s ok, it’ll be beauti...

I looked on Plat and it appears you can’t buy just the gear set. I’d recommend shooting them a message.

My wife swung into the local tackle shop here and sent me a pic of the price tag. Street price here is $775 for the IMZ and $350 for the Steez AII. The IMZ had already sold out and the Steez AII is only orderable in 6.3:1 based on stock with Daiwa JP. I’m curious what she was doing in there though…s...

I have the X-Bites and love it although it doesn’t throw well enough for me at the low range. I plan to grab an Evergreen Black Raven soon for that but have also considered The Sensor for the same reason. Joe I just bought the Sensor... :big grin: Let us all know what you think of it. I would’ve al...

Personally I really like it. At an MSRP of 32,000 JPY the street price will probably be somewhere around 27,500 JPY. I’m game to pick up a spool and handle to add to it. It would be a tad cooler if the TWS was black as well.

I have, it feels identical to the original Steez A to me.

Interestingly enough I’m wrapping up a five day trip in Tokyo. JDM Fenwicks outnumber most of the other rod manufacturers by a large margin in every Tackleberry I’ve been in. I wish I knew more about them or researched them before I came, I could have grabbed some for rock bottom prices.

I kind of hope we’re saying the same thing about the new Zillion platform in 15 years. I didn’t think a frame could feel more right to me than a TD-Z but it sure does.

Reel arrived today. Can’t wait to get it on the water … Would you mind sharing some pictures please? especially up close ones Thanks for the pictures with the price its not too bad i guess. Especially considering trying to buy a Steez A 1016 or 1012 reel right now and even on ichaban tackle 270 for...

The Zillion HD spool casted different in a Zillion 1000 than it did in the Zillion HD? It did, I think because what seems like a stronger braking profile in the HD. The spool definitely feels a bit more free in the standard Zillions but not wild like some of the reports I’ve seen from the Steez HLC...
