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.
