The 2005 Alphas Ito (103L) Ai
Daiwas silverling tuned and redesigned by Yuki Ito, founder and president of Megabass Japan
Since a while I was looking for this reel on the known websites and auction platforms and it was kind of tricky to find one in mint or at least excellent+ condition. Most reels on offer had multiple scratches and tarnished stains, what underlines the fact, that the bare aluminum frame and clear plastic sideplate are really vulnerable to this kind of damages.
Anyway… this morning I got one that looks really promising (at least on the provided photos), and even if it was at the more pricy end of the scale, I’m happy to get this well tuned and nice looking piece of reel manufaturing that is supposed to be the counterpart for the upcoming F4-68X JABBERWOCK.
