The_Natural Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 "Like Mike...I want to be like Mike".... Anyone remember those commercials Daiwa Sol/Alphas Circa 2003 Abu Revo series... Pflueger How about Quantum's entire lineup... I think Shimano is the only Manufacturer that has a product line that actually differentiates itself and sticks to their own designs. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted July 18, 2008 Super User Posted July 18, 2008 Can't say that I didn't notice the similarities between the Daiwa reels and the Revo's when the Revo's first hit the market a couple of years ago. Quote

You and everyone else, but it's just crazy when you put all of the reels next to the alphas/sol. Here is the old Michael Jordan commercial for those that don't remember it... *Warning...clicking on this link will likely get this jingle stuck in your head for at least 24hrs* Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted July 18, 2008 Super User Posted July 18, 2008 Being a huge Daiwa fan even I have to admit that Shimano produces some beautiful and unique reels. Take this for instance, this IMHO is a work of art. That's about enough of that for one day... : Quote
Super User burleytog Posted July 18, 2008 Super User Posted July 18, 2008 I saw you drooling over my Shimano's last month. Then again, you probably saw me soil myself when I fished that Steez. :-[ Quote

I remember the summer that Jordan's Citrus Cooler flavor came out. For three straight months my allowance went to Gatorade, baseball cards, pellets for my gun, and fireworks. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted July 18, 2008 Super User Posted July 18, 2008 Mmmmmm...citrus cooler. I bet I drank 100 gallons of that stuff back in the day. Quote

That's classic; the three most important things in a 10yr old's life... bb guns, baseball cards, and fireworks. My mom said I ruined 3 vacuum cleaners from her vacuuming up bb's Quote
Super User burleytog Posted July 18, 2008 Super User Posted July 18, 2008 d**n that commercial makes me feel old. :-X Quote
Super User Jeff H Posted July 18, 2008 Super User Posted July 18, 2008 One should never grow out of the shooting fun afforded by BB guns. The Revo's are sure nice reels, no matter their poposed lack of originality. I don't care who copies who as long as I get a quality product. Quote

Don't think I haven't seriously thought about a bb gun as of late...primarily because of the Drozd. As a kid, a full auto bb gun was only in my dreams. I guess I could fulfill it as an adult. The new Drozd blackbird is like the original, but holds 3 co2 cartridges and has a 400rd bb hopper instead of only a 30rd clip. Me likey! http://www.airgundepot.com/eaa-drozd-kit.html Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted July 18, 2008 Super User Posted July 18, 2008 That's hilarious Natural, the vacuums and all. Your poor mother. The Sol/Alphas frame is everywhere. Then there's the Zillion knockoff, aka Quantum's KVD Signature Series Baitcast Reel. Quote
