LOL…!!!
more concerned about the new moving part, ie the hood that opens and closes
does the widened line guide really increase casting distance while reducing spool overrruns?

uh-ohhhh ... why does that sound like i better start saving? [xx(] any idea approx % of improvement, bro? no worries if you don't want to pluck figures out of the air [:D] jes' want a guesstimate to see whether worth justifying the price or not [:p]

Yup, Chai Leng Park Penang, near Fajar supermarket. Actually, if you can find fishing shop name Sang Lin, you can find Northern Pro… Happy finding.. ^[1]

Bro, sure it’s a T3? i love my 1016 to bits and would dread to own a pc of this z1016 variant although non of the design n specs resemble any of the 1016, LOL.


That sounds about right [;)] Only prototypes of the T3 are available to a selected few daiwa pro-staff at the moment.

Price wise, realistically speaking, I don’t think the T3 would cost more than the Z or the Steez. The T3 is made of Zaion composite polymer which is very similar to Shimano’s CI4. In other words, the frame and side plates are made of stiff polymer plastic. No doubt, it’ll be light but I’d expect it to cost less than magnesium frame reels.

Pai seh Bro TJS [:I], I am not into super duper hightech tackle yet, so anything more than RM 700 is consider too much for me.. Below, ok la… Hahahahahha…

Any I found out Hwa Tat in Penang selling Conquest for RM 1250, for all size ( 201, 101, 51 ).. Is it something fishy on this??? Sorry if I mistakenly being nuisance.. Just my curiosity overcome me..

Cheers~~

nothing fishy about the price for 51 and 101, it’s arounf that price in KL up till last month. But whether the new stock is still selling at that price, i have yet to find out.

Oooo… Means the Conquest can get lower la.. Hahaha good good

Bro, I didn’t say it can get lower. 1,250 to 1,300 is about the lower price i found in KL, although one shop in puchong i called quote me around 1,100 plus for a 101 but no stock…i dunno how true is that price.

Hmmm.. Let see after a few month.. Maybe the price will change perhaps??

yup, in March i bought alphas R reel n a valleyhill travelling rod (both also like last piece in that shop). When the new stock arrived in April, the price went up between 10-20% because of the yen. The boss said the stock was ordered before the earthquake and the Yen rate has already gone up compare to end 2010. After the earthquake, the yen move another 7%-10% up.

Looks like I will avoid buying japanese stuff for now.
