Hogsticker Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 3d brakes have not been confirmed to the best of my knowledge. Folks on that other cite are swearing it will not have them. I'm not convinced. Quote

Care to share your thoughts on this? I have always used spinning reels where vertical bait presentation was important. I would be interested in how the TWS reduces the pendulum swing that you typically see with BC reels. Quote

And this is just strictly my opinion, the shape of the t wing does give the lure a more natural fall, I use a 6'10 mh tatula rod and tat type r for my lighter t rigs and close quarters pitching. Just seems to me that instead of your standard line guide the the line has more room to play. As I said this is just strictly my opinion. Quote

Hogsticker Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Well it turns out the new Zillion TW SV is made in Thailand. If this new Steez is as well it's official, I agree, Daiwa has lost it. Quote
5fishlimit Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 The top is the new Zillion SV TWS. The bottom is the Zillion TWS. 5 Quote
5fishlimit Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 The more I look at this picture the more I am starting to like what is going on. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted January 20, 2016 Author Super User Posted January 20, 2016 It's strange that the 'steez' has the t wing exposed a lot more. Quote

DirtyDeuceGoose Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Yeah I don't quite get the ultra exposed wing either. Perhaps it's due to the thumb bar being changed? Quote
IAY Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 It's probably to compensate for the height. Quote

And depending on thumb placement it could be hitting the thumb or lower part of index finger. The line guide on the SV105 sticks out some and at times with my thumb across the top it gets hit, see the same happening here. Quote

bootytrain Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 2 hours ago, rippin-lips said: It's strange that the 'steez' has the t wing exposed a lot more. I'm guessing its to aid casting distance. The new Conquest has its levelwind stick out farther. The Metaniums is pretty far out but the top plate covers it. Quote

Every pooh poohed the R's as not worth the extra $ and thought the 8:1 ratio was a gimmic 3 years ago. Daiwa is dedicated to the at wing, that should be obvious and they wouldn't continue with the T wing design if it was negative to thier sales. Tom The tatula has only been out a little over 2 years Quote
DenhamBruce Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 After reading the title and seeing the first post I can honestly say that gave me a good laugh Quote
DirtyDeuceGoose Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Somebody more knowledgable than myself might know more... But isn't there some benefit of having the line guide further from the spool? I thought this was something going on with the Curado I. I don't recall if it was too close or moved farther away. Quote
