There is fishing in all of asia that uses tackle similar to bass tackle.  Snake head species and predatory catfish are common sport fish.  AE is a trip.  I've been down the rabbit hole and seen some things.

i know.  but i was asking about Bass fishing.  no LMB right.?

 

the catfish species are amazing.

Yes, there bass have been introduced throughout south east asia.  You average person buying a reel or rod from AE is likely targeting some other species.  What we call a 'bass fishing reel" is just a "fishing reel".

Chinease market fuego using a 17 tatula sv spool in red.  It has the "hard to turn spool knob" as well so you can adjust it zero times.  There are daiwas for various markets that have little differences like this.  There is also the salamandura line of tatulas for the chinease market as well as prorex reels from diawa scandinavia.  Australia got this olive drab fuego ct.  There is also a distance tuned braid special tatula 100 with a power handle on it called the HRF pe special.

 

With any of these reels you are buying from a different market and won't have warranty with daiwa USA but they aren't so unique that the parts aren't different from a standard reel that they can't be maintained yourself with US spourced parts. 

Thanks for the info. I think I will go ahead and skip that! ? Don't need another rabbit hole to go down!! ??

 

Found myself interested in clean old Daiwa and Shimano reels from the late 90s through early 2000s.

 

Started off with a TDS103HVLA and TDZ 103HL. Expanded from there to a another 103HL, a 105HL, a couple old school TD Fuegos, a TDZ103H plus a JDM TDX103H and a USDM TDX103HSD and a few Shimanos like a pair of Calcutta 151s and a Scorpion Metanium MG7. LOL!!!

 

That big ol auction site can be dangerous!! ?
