Terrible, Im spewing.

HAHA, so you're kind of saying that the old exist was like Catherine Zeta Jones in an elegant evening gown, and the new exist is like Sarah Jessica Parker after being hit by a snow plough?

[Bobby Bass]

No thats not what I meant.....two snow ploughs driven by aliens

No style just futuristic uglyness, wouldnt tap it at all.

1 out of 5 from me

[stella fella]

Of course! How could I forget the aliens

best post Chris, yeah she's a bit rough to look at but she feels great....

Sarah Jessica parker is defiantly not eligible for the bling thread

Daiwa Australia OFFICIALY annouces 2012 Exist, definately looks the goods, I can't see it being more expensive then the last one.

She would want to do more than feel for $1,000.00 especially considering her looks

bugger I was hoping it was a prototype or a gee up. Im sure heaps of people and aliens will like the new reels. I hope they dont do the same thing to a new steez, that would put me off a bit.

It's a shame that reel designs are looking more and more like some uni students art project, the flow the current exist has is amazing... simple... with just a bit of bling.

Bobby, I've already sent an Email to Daiwa australia asking if they next steez is like that/when is it out.

[Bobby Bass]

I think it will have the same rotor and body, lets hope the spool is closed and a bit more elegant.

Looks like a Caldia abit blinged up.I thought diawa would bring out the ducks nuts and make this somthing special.I guess it all comes to the bottom line.They have zaion and it is a great product but they could have finished it beter.The spool looks like a ballistic spool with holes so there is a weight saving. A Carbon fibre handle also would have been great.Titanium future metals.The color scheme looks need some attention.Its as if they got paint on the cheap and will use it across the board.
I hope future designs will be better.

Whats special about it its no stella or is it a replacement.??Love the spool

[Tri]

being that its daiwa hope they bring out some ridiculous ize/rcs stuff to replace maybe the spool or so. cause the handle is very similar to the luvito in a way anyways so that nothing new by side the fact its being closer to the body for more control i presume.

i dont know what you guys are on about! looks so cool and i think if your paying that kinda money for a reel it has to look cool and out there! if i was a little older and had that kinda money id buy it!

[MattyBoy]

Well that got beat with the ugly stick ...mind you it could be that new car look syndrome ... I wish with higher end reels you had a choice of handle length and knob type to suit your fishing style.
