Notes: The M-Ito was part of the Ito series reels released in 2003.  They are a collaboration between Daiwas I’ze Factory and Yuki Ito, head of Megabass. They were produced in limited quantities to order.  The spool has larger drilled holes from the stock CV-Z and the handle and frame have received more machining to reduce weight.  The knobs are whiskey bottle oak.  The reel features the EAS system.  The drag is reported to be “50%” stronger than stock.  The right and left models differ slightly in appearance.  The left features orange trim rings and a gold star while the right received gold trim rings and an orange star.
