It has a new spool design and new SVS infinity design like the one used in the Casitas. In the video the guy was casting a long ways with the MGL. Heres a pic of the spool Can you link to these videos? Quote
Hogsticker Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 I think Shimano is also releasing some new cranking rods in the Zodias line. I saw Dave Mercer using some in his facts of fishing show this morning. Maybe that's already been discussed, not sure. I noticed they have an Eva lick nut rather than the medal. Glass and graphite composite construction with a nice deep flex. 1 Quote

bassbassontherange Posted January 18, 2016 Posted January 18, 2016 That's a sick lineup. Shimano has upped their game. It's going to be interesting to see what the other players do to keep pace. Quote
Super User fishballer06 Posted January 18, 2016 Super User Posted January 18, 2016 What's the details on that Stille? It's got the most of my attention. PS. I don't think I can resist that Scorpion 71. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 18, 2016 Global Moderator Posted January 18, 2016 I wonder why there's no 70XG Scorpion? Like that high gear ratio but I can't even begin to do left hand retrieve. Quote

I emailed Jun yesterday specifically about the 70XG and he said Shimano doesn't list it as "available" to vendors yet - so it's not listed on their site, yet. They will list it as soon as Shimano updates the other gear ratio status. I feel you though, trying a left hand retrieve would probably be worse than me trying to brush my teeth with my left hand. I pre-ordered a 70 HG just because. 1 Quote

Right now, Daiwa is still riding the hype of T Wing and we never really see a ton of innovation from Doyo brands. But that's just my opinion, only time will tell. 1 Quote

Maico1 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 After looking around I am thinking ballpark for the Antares DC ..512 +/- and the Aldebaran BFS...290 +/- plus shipping for both. That is based on 76,000 yen (Antares) and 46,000 yen (Aldebaran) . 1 Quote
Maico1 Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 A little more info, move around the site for more info ......http://tzlure.com/shimano-2016-antares-dc.html Quote
