A new Alphas variant for the year 2006, the Type-F was the Alphas freshwater specification reel produced until 2010.  The reels bearings are not CRBB, but it does have two more in the handle to provide a smoother feel on retrieve.  Daiwa also reduced the weight by .2oz.  The frame is still Aluminum, sideplates plastic, spool 33mm Duralumin, and drive gear bronze.
