I won't say exact, but I will say I didn't pay over 250 for any of them.

Amazing. Again, great score. You got some really good Daiwas in your possession that are only going to gain value.  ~c~

Like how big? Let's say compared to a Calcutta 200?

They are long and tall. Kind of like B series Curado and new Metanium morphed together

Yea maybe I need to hold one. I was thinking for bigger swimbaits and A Rigs but again they don't call them holy grail reels for nothing.

Spool for one. J Dream/IP spool is a wild animal. Lol. Very light, very fast. Take both and put them in your hands and see the difference, its crazy. The driveshaft is lighter on the J as its similar to the Steez in design. Other than that, its just paint, frame designs, and quality of the bearings really.

Not gonna lie to you, the Zillion is my favorite reel. I love the frame and everything about it. These newer reels are nice but that Zillion is perfect for me.

Yeah. Thats next on my list. A mint Type R for the shelf. Lol. I bought the 2 off the guy on BBC that were rough, but I only got them for parts and to sell off the frames to a guy that custom paints reels. I basically made money off them, and got free parts for repairing reels. Lol

I bought mine for 300 about 3 years ago from HI's tackle. I got a buddy that goes to Japan often. I can only imagine what he could pick up.
