Of course I know what they are! just want to see some pics :D I am patiently waiting for my SRD and IP79 to arrive.

Lol, I misread your post...work is pretty hectic today.

You are going to LOVE the Super Red Demon...it covers such a wide array of weights and is really sensitive.

Isn't posting like this much better?

Lol. Very nice! One of those is on my short list...want to pair it with an X7 Extreme Mission.

The hedgehog/Eiger combo will be amazing   :drool1:

Spring can't come soon enough. ;) I am going to spool it with 5 lb fluorocarbon, and toss small jigs and t-rigs.

Two problems with getting a SRD right now; they are literally out of stock in most places(I checked A LOT of Japanese sites + USA ones), and they aren't in production schedule for the next 6 months. I got pretty lucky that one of the dealers still had one in stock to sell :)

My Daiwa squadron just added another member. Ryoga 1016H, 6.3:1 ratio, gives a measured 26.5 IPT at the top of the spool - a very handy number... :thumbsup:

 

The only reel I own where the sideplate is secured by allen screws!

A Zillion is often referred to as a tank. Maybe, but check out this frame.................THIS is a tank!

20-position MagForce Z dial (the black ring on the sideplate):

RCS 1016 spool - I'm sure the Daiwa junkies will be chiming in with spool options.

I usually always include a photo of a new reel with a fish...............but unfortunately there is not much catching going on here right now. Water is still soft, but surface water temps have been around 41-43 for the last couple weeks and catching is poor. I've had it on the water for about 90 minutes over the last couple days. SOLID reel - it feels like you are holding a solid block of aluminum. Glass-smooth on the retrieve.  A nifty reel indeed.

 

It should work, reel in fish.........................as soon as I can find some fish............................ :lol:

Nice looking collection of Shimano's. Please tell me, if you were forced to sell one, and both reels were in perfect condition and assuming they are used for the same purpose, are you selling the Curado 200E or the new Curado?

I am debating getting the new Scorpion or the older XT1500. I regretfully sold my 1500's a while back and here I am either buying some more or the new Scorpion. They will be primarily used for inshore fishing.

I have handled the new Curado at DSG. I do like the way it palms better than the 1500. If I can scrounge up enough money before the end of December, I might get the 6.3:1 from Japan Tackle while it's on sale.
