A Reel That’s Nearly Impossible to Backlash Leads Daiwa’s New Bass Pack By Joe Sillis

Date:

Cody Meyer let the lure fly. He took his thumb off the spool and waited. Meyer, of course, is a fool. Every bass angler knows that a baitcaster without a thumb might as well be a rat’s nest of tangled line and frustration.Seconds later, his lure splashed down. But the backlash never followed.

Meyer was not a fool. The FLW veteran knows his reels, and at the 2016 Bassmaster Classic Expo in Tulsa, he showed up with one that’s nearly impossible to backlash. (Seriously…check the video at the bottom of this story.) It’s called the Zillion SV, and it’s the flagship of three new models of bass-oriented baitcasters from Daiwa for 2016.

“We wanted to introduce the bass reels to the right audience,” says Daiwa’s Curt Arakawa. “When we launch a new product at ICAST, the consumers might not be able to really use them until spring. That’s why we decided to launch these at the Classic. We wanted to put them in the hands of the dealers right there, so consumers at the show had a chance to see them and purchase these products right off the bat.”
