Daiwa Luvias 15 1003 Custom
The Daiwa Luvias 15 range of reels are amongst my favourites and the baby 1003 model is just perfect for ultralight line applications. This Luvias 1003 was seen on the 34 stand at the 2018 Osaka Fishing Show, displaying the company’s rose pink Zerogra Double Handle III and Balancer III. Sweet ride.

Another JDM rarity – the Evergreen Opus-1 Nero. And the first time I have had the pleasure of seeing this rare spinning reel in hand.

2018 Daiwa Freams LT (Light Tough). The 2000S looked and felt amazing for the money. Shallow enough spool. Think this could come out at somewhere near £100!
Reiko Kojima Daiwa Japan
