Showing off my Millionaire V

Post by CanadianMike »

My grandfather gave me this Daiwa Millionaire V reel when I was about 10 years old. It's never been spooled or used. It's been under glass since it was purchased. I know Abu Garcia sued Daiwa over copyright ©️ infringement. The reel wasn't produced long and was a black eye in Daiwa's history.
It's a beautiful reel. Thought I would share.

Great reel, thanks for sharing. That appears to be an early or intro model. Diawa still makes a Millionaire model in China withe graphite side plates. You can also get the Aluminum reels pretty widely on the net. I would keep that one back and get a vintage model for fishing.
