Re: Smoothest gear grease.

Last year I had settled on ZPI F-0 Pro Grease Medium for all gears and ZPI F-0 Pro Grease Soft for sliding/moving metal parts/frame bearings/worm gear. After some research, I now use Dupont Krytox GPL 225 for gears rather than ZPI Medium, which is a significant upgrade over an excellent grease. The...

orochi xx DSR Gen 2?

I've deep dived many-a-posts and can't find the answer...is the Gen 2 Orochi XX Diablo Spec R faster or slower in action to the Gen 1? Are they similar in power?

Re: Rod broken on arrival

if you order something, and it comes broken, it's on the seller....never the buyer.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000

Assuming the above is correct, would the hyperdrive gear model make even a same-gear ratio pinion and main gear from the 2 different reels incompatible? Good question. Not sure who will be the guinea pig. The main gears i found identical had the same dimensions in the meter with each other between ...

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000

Just got info from the Tackle Trap, Zillion Sv1000 gears will NOT be compatible in the Steez A. I finally ordered a 7.1 JDM Zillion and noticed my Steez had a faint ticking when reeling. Broke her down and re greased and now it is gone. I asked about Zillion gears thinking the brass might fix the i...

Re: Confirmed new Nrx coming out !!

Not overly impressed. Was hoping for more full grip in like a 864 or 874 MBR instead of the 1980s 6''6 and 7'0 options . full grip lengths are pretty pedestrian and uninspiring. Only casting models I'm interested in are the 844 MBC and 873 CR . I'm sure the blanks are electric but was hoping for mor...

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000

I guess I might be the only one who has an issue with the new Zillion. I love everything about the reel except for the mag dial location. When I cast or fight a fish my index finger usually ends up right on top of the dial. Not only is it uncomfortable but I have felt and heard the dial move. The p...

Re: New Zillion - How well does it skip??

been able to have mine on the water for a couple months now. I don't see any difference skipping between this and the steez sv1016 g1 spool. have skipped weightless senkos, bladed jigs, spinnerbaits and it's effortless to skip 10-15 yards. Biggest difference so far is on a long cast. SV boost feels ...
