The black paint job makes it look a hell of lot better than the Caldia.

damn, i knew it looked familiar, so its RCS on steroids lol
is that the same case for the other reels and rods as well???
does anyone know wether the parts are interchangable with the caldias??
yes the black looks awsome would go well with the gen black range of rods
thanks guys

It deserves to go on a Kirisame. It even suggests it on the reel.

That's a heck of a price to pay for a Caldia. Albeit, souped up...

Megabass reels aren't based on any specific daiwa reels, they are just built from daiwa parts. Yuki Ito has an agreement with daiwa, wherein he operates as a design consultant for daiwa, and in return daiwa allow him to use their gear. Calling a Gaus 20 a caldia is like calling a steez or exist a caldia, just because they have the same body.

I think its a fair comparison. Both mid-range cheapos in a pair of lacy knickers with generous spray tans.

Yep i said knickers. Twice now, and for that i apologize.
