I realize the Zillion HD spool isn't a long distance spool like HLC but it should be more distance oriented than the original SV boost considering it has the Mag Z, but still fairly allround is it not? Or maybe Daiwa SLP Works RCSB MAG Z Boost 1000 G1 is a better choise for distance but still more m...

Is this spool specifically for distance casting? That's what I'm trying to find out. My assumption is a spool more toward distance than the original Zillion sv tw 1000 SV Boost spool but not as much as an HLC spool. The latter is far from allround but rather distance specific for more compact baits...

Has anyone tried this Mag-Z boost spool yet? How is it in relation to 22 zillion TW HD spool? I want the spool which will cast 3/4-1 oz aerodynamic baits (spoons, pencils etc) as far as possible in head-winds with some control. Don't want a spool that is "wild" and unpredictable on most casts. The s...

I have a Zillion TW SV 1000 and a 12 Exsence DC. The latter my go-to reel for costal shore fishing 3/4-1 oz slim baits on a 9'6" -1 1/4 oz rod. Have tried the Zillion for this costal fishing as well, they cast about the same, safe and fairly good distance. The DC often feel a bit over breaked at "mi...

Do you guys think Zillion HD + Ray’s spool can outperform Silverwolf? I ended up order Zillion HD instead of silver wolf. I already have Ray’s 34mm spool laying around. The HD seemed to be the right choice for me, cheaper and come with brass gear. I also have JDM Zillion SV with AMO spool. Meaning ...

Anyone who knows about the weight of the Wolf spool? I have a regular Zillion 1000 and I use 10-15 lb braid so I figure a shallow Wolf- or DIY Ray's spool would be better. Anyone compared the latter - Pros, cons?

What do you know, I stand corrected!
The switch does exist on Exist LT while the Airity and Certate LT will fare without.

My reel finally got here today. I believe it was delayed some due to the blizzard of 2021. After checking it out, for those who care, there is not a anti-reverse switch on the Luvius airity. Even though it shares the same frame as the Exist LT, daiwa did away with that feature. I don't think the Ex...

Intresting but would it translate into any real fishing benefits?

Interesting. Thx for the heads up. Yes TRT at YT has some good entries but it's too focused on distance and the tone in the comments section is often very dividing not including at all. Actually like the entire USA of late years.. :( That seems contradictory when it's said there at TRT that the mee...

@JBcrankaddict - thanks for sharing. I understand saltwater can be an issue with alu-gears, my Zillion will only see freshwater.

I guess Finnz922 are spot on in what Daiwa wanted with the z-adjust, don't matter to me. My new, first z-adjust Daiwa has a minimal play from factory and I will start so and then play around to my liking.

JapanAngler does deliver thru FedEx if that helps, got my reel within a week.

@JBcrankaddict Is that reluctancy based on previous experience of alu-geared Daiwas, Shimanos or both? Maybe you should consider that the gears in new Zillion is supposed to be something new, something else... even better? On the other hand that might actually be considered as a risk in terms of Dai...

At first I was looking at the Alphas. I thought, just as HWK of it as decent ML- M reel for a reasonable price but the origin of the Zillion and the 34 mm SV-boost spool intrigued so much I finally went with the latter. So light and smoooth when you crank it! Eager to try it but winter persists...
