Title: "ZERO" Reels - DAIWA BG "Clones" or what DAIWA BG Reels REALLY Are Now ???

Alan & All,

I was browsing on eBay and came across these reels . . .

Are they DAIWA BG "Clones" or are they what DAIWA is now selling as "BG" reels with different badging, since DAIWA BG's are now made in Thailand, instead of Japan ?

I think that is so wrong...

If you are going to use a reel as a reference, at least make it look a little different.

Okay, that's the extend of my soap box shout.
