Anyone noticed these little puppies yet? Due for release shortly in Japan, doesn't look like a limited run so am hoping they make it to Aus
 Wondering if Shortlite or someone knows a bit more about them????Cheers Addict Last edited by angling-addict; 20-04-2009 at 11:47 PM. Reason: pic didn't show up

I'd say the only way they'll make it here is by importing yourself when you buy it online!
 And wont be a cheap item like the rest of the ito/megabass/daiwa models. Change knob and it'll be sweet. They look to have the luvias body, and has been mentioned that its zaion aswell. I like em  Chop

Nitlon - Going off the price over there 48300 yen that's $680 Au..... so I suppose over here with transport/warranty/middle man etc you'd be looking at about $1000 as a stab in the dark!
Chops, I've heard whispers they could make it over, so holding off an upgrade for a little while with fingers crossed..... but I've seen 3 different release dates in Japan, May, Aug and Sept

im guessing this is either a standard ITO dress up model as he had previously done OR the let him loose in the factory at last under the new trade agreement sent up between ITO and DAIWA last year, where Daiwa has enlisted Yuki as a design consault and in turn Yuki has access to the daiwa reel manufacturing machinery
either way its a tidy looking reel, out 250X luvi on the roids ! looks to be the Zaion Platform for sure with a custom spool an handle, so apart from the spool its nothing out of the ordinary just yet. will have to wait n see what else pops up

Hotrods.........cheers for the info mate
I've done a bit of digging with quite a few phone calls..................and........................ ......... they're coming to Aus   Don't know price yet though unforutnately, will keep digging and let ya's know when I find out Oh, another thing I sussed out, I don't think this is anything to do with a trade agreement, Mr Ito has employed one of the Diawa engineers to give him a hand with the Megabass reels , so they should be an absolute CrackerI know what Mr Rudd just bought me with his bonus Cheers Addict
