granted it was new so would need some bedding in etc, but the reel handle wouldn't even wind down on its own if let go from just off TDC. for an expensive reel i thought that wasnt good enough

The handle is 50% lighter and the main gear is larger. Regardless, i simply dont get why this bogus measure of a reel would even be a consideration. The handle doesnt turn itself?????? Maybe thats what the thing attached to the end of its supposed to do........

Or maybe Tanacom is more your speed

for $900 yeah id expect the handle to turn itself and fish to automatically hook themselves and land themselvess too

Ha. Do you also spin the handle and then count the number of revolutions?

HA. Thats for amateurs, i just spin the handle and time it till it stops. ive got a timer specifically for it

I was under the impression that Daiwa actually made the handles a tad tighter deliberately in order to to prevent the reel winding involuntarily?

Just found out that theres a recall on the new exist 3000 models, only just happned so I don’t know much about it apart from the fact that the main gears have a fault in them, something along the lines of tolerance issues and material used.
only the 3k models at this stage afaik.

I believe you're right, I think it was the 2012 model that Daiwa made moves to deliberately stop involuntary winding. and I liked this feature as the handle falling with gravity at times would move the lure from the strike zone.

Why you let go of the handle when in “strike zone� ?
