I got one a few weeks back, used a couple of days up in exmouth, performed well, but on day three handle was rough and sticky. Conditions were pretty rough and it may have got a soaking but was rinsed after each use. I have sent to Daiwa to check it out so will reserve judgement for now....
And have been really happy with it. Picked up a 12 kilo sambo last weeks and handled that really well, nice and smooth and easy to use. It has become my go to demersals outfit. Robert1979 I will be interested what Daiwa say on yours?
Yeh will let you know, I have a few Daiwa reels (BG35h, Saltiga, Catalina plus another cheapo spin), no issues with any of them, the BG35h is probably 4 years old and been very well used, never serviced and as good as new mechanically. So was pretty surprised with this. I will let you know what they say.
Cheers for the imput fellas, What are those Mythos worth ive heard them being mentioned alot of micro/demersal jigging. as im from SA no one here stocks them so its hard to see what they are like.
They are around the $600 mark. Love both of mine and the Mytho plus is a great match to the Ryoga. Use them both in targeting demersals with jig weights from around 80gm up to around 180, usually 120 to 140.
No problems with ours but given my time over again I would have went with a Penn Torque, probably the 12. Would have saved money and arguably got a better reel with the thrust bearing.

If you want to run those
If you want to run those lighter jigs you are better off with one of the standard Mytho like the Mytho LJ60
When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
