Daiwa reels new models due soon?

[bjspinner]

In my search for a new reel looking on some of the sites O/S noticed Plat have not got any Luvias listed at all.

Does anyone know if perhaps the 2012 version shall receive an update?

Caldia lifecycle was around 2 years, so maybe one in the works for the Luvias.

Surly it was far to popular to be getting a change already? I saw the same thing the other day as well though, so maybe.

How about a new freams, ballistic or steez? That would be good.

I'd say over this spring/summer/autumn the freams, luvias will be updated for sure.
About 3 year cycles and daiwa stagger their models unlike Shimano that seem to release many at one time.

There was an 11 Caldia, now there is a 2014 Caldia. There was a 2010 Certate and now a 2013 Certate. There is a 12 Luvias and there will a ____ Luvias. Get the pattern?

It's a three year cycle. Unless Daiwa are desperate to make some money than you will all have to wait until next year.

The first Caldia kix was 2009 I believe.

Though I did see the current production trend of 3 years.

Pretty sure the Caldia Kix was released in 2007...

Just noticed the new Ignis Type-R on Facebook. It looks bloody nice!

Apparently sits inbetween Luvias and certate.

Going off of specs, it actually sits between a Certate and Exist..

Also judging from JDM prices, it will be more than a 13 Certate. Im guessing it is going to fill the $600~ bracket which is missing from the current Daiwa range.

Yep its above a cerate on the price scale, it is a luvias body with more bearings, a wave spring in the drag and more bling like an exy handle they look good I reckon.

Daiwa said it sits between Luvias and Certate. I reckon it will be pricier than the the tate at first but.

I looked at the Ignis type-r they look great around the same price as the certate's ($20-$30), its just hard to go past the value of the Luvias at present.

I have a couple of 13 Certates and love them, just surprised that the Ignis does not have the magseal line roller.

Where have Daiwa said this?

Nothing on their site or FB page eludes to it, neither does any info from Japan.
