About this piece
The Isuzu Direct DD310SSS is a completely redesigned direct-drive baitcasting reel that returns to the roots of baitcasting. It omits modern conveniences like a clutch and drag system, connecting the handle directly to the spool for an authentic, technical casting and thrilling fight experience. Built with a BC42-size frame and weighing approximately 113g — a 35% reduction from the previous Tabby300 model — this reel is crafted in Japan for 2025.
