Been running the '21 Zillion SV TW for a while now and I’ve always loved it. Recently grabbed that new AL Ti Elite from KastKing bc I wanted a solid aluminum reel for my new setup, and figured 230 bucks was worth a shot.
Took both out Saturday. The wind was being a pain so I was swapping setups trying to punch through it with weightless plastics. Sitting on the bank casting them back to back I had a moment of realization. I honestly could not feel where that extra 200 dollars went on the Daiwa.
Both feel great in the hand and the AL Ti was managing the wind just as well as the SV spool.
So I have to ask. When you guys drop 450 plus on flagship models do you actually feel a massive leap in quality on the water. Or am I just lacking the skill to notice that high end precision.
