Location: Mayville, WI | When Daiwa had both the CV-Z & CV-X out, I couldn't understand why. Both reels were nearly identical, with a few upgrades for the Z vs the X, but with the Z being a decent amount more $$$. Off the top of my head, the updates of the X vs the Z was a metal line guide in the Z (plastic w/ ceramic insert in the X), the color, and maybe a few other tweaks here and there. I've had two 300 CV-Xs for 3 & 5 yrs, respectively. They are good reels (AR bearing aside, keep them clean!) and there is really no reason to get the Z over the X, unless you like the gold color (I don't care for it much myself).
The Luna replaced both reels, but is closer to the Z than the X. I don't know what other upgrades they did, other than appearance. The Luna is the same as the St Croix 300, with the only difference being color (gold vs silver). Same great reel as the X & Z's, just need to keep the AR bearings clean.
