Randy, how do you know that the spool sits on a bushing instead of a bearing? Like you said, there is not a lot of detailed info on the Daiwa Japan website.
And would this bushing have something to do with the reel being designed for salt water? Would the bearing be more vulnerable to sand and salt?
Do you think this reel is really worth over 50,000 yen?
I also wonder if this will be like last year's Luvias, with a first run made in Japan before shifting production to China...
