FISHING REELS GET FASTER AND FASTER
"DAIWA BREAKS SPEED RECORD"
by Steve McCadams
 

     Baitcasting reels keep updating themselves but you might need an armed guard to watch your boat should you leave it unattended as Daiwa’s newest model targeted to bass fishermen has a suggested retail price of $300. By the way, it’s engraved and has a serial number.

   Daiwa was the first tackle manufacturer to introduce a reel with a blazing fast 7.1:1 gear ratio – a benchmark that competitors were unable to match for nearly two decades.  Now, in recognition of the company’s 50th anniversary, Daiwa is taking this concept a step further by unveiling a new Special Edition Hyper-Speed TD Zillion with 7.3:1 retrieve – the world’s fastest compact baitcaster.

  Capable of cranking in an amazing 32 inches of line with a single turn of the handle, the new reel allows anglers to rip lures back to the boat faster than ever before.  That means covering large areas of water in a hurry, finding the fish quickly, and putting more bass in the livewell, says the news release.

 

Steve McCadams is a professional hunting and fishing guide here in the Paris Landing area. He has also contributed many outdoor oriented articles to various national publications.
