Daiwa tuning parts brand I'ze introduces limited edition reels designed by Mr. Yuki Ito, the Megabass founder and chief designer. All reels are produced upon order, and order should be placed before the end of July 2003. Delivery is on the basis of first come first serve, but it might take a few months to satisfy orders because of custom production.
We deliver the beauty to customers after August 2003.
