Re: So much Hype - The Beast that is the Daiwa Zillion 2021
I can't wait to get mine from TTT. I hope I actually get to go fishing a couple times this year.

Re: Vibration analysis between '20 Met and '21 Zillion
I wonder if I would notice much difference in use. I feel most vibrations with the hell of my hand where it grips the rod just behind the reel.

Re: SV Spool Questions
What Adam said. The spools are nearly identical outside of the inductors. If you put them side by side, you can see that the SS spool inductors stick out a bunch more. You can get an aftermarket inductor from ebay or Aliexpress to swap in. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254205197260 You can also remove th...

The Z200/Z2020 not do anything for you?

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Yes everything I’ve tried so far has been 12, 15, and 20 lb tatsu. Will try braid next. I would still be very surprised if the zillion could match the Met on the lighter end of the spectrum. I had a good call with Dan Isaac the other day about getting the most out of my Mets. He had a good explanat...

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
How does the size of the frame compare to the Steez SVTW, Steez CT, and Tatula SV? I'm asking because I have tiny hands and have trouble palming my curado and my Tatula SV reels. I'm looking for a reel that can handle a wide variety of baits from 1/4-3/4 oz. For a couple versatile rods I have an am...

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Interesting. All of the pictures I've seen of the JDM version it has a much lighter colored handle than the USDM Version pictured on Tackle Trap. The USDM is nearly black while the JDM looks medium silver.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Got my pre-order in at TTT. I think I'm going to have to spend some of my stimulus money there also... President's orders right? Looks like the USDM Version has a darker handle as well. I think I prefer the silver handle. Oh well. I hope I can swap in a Zillion Type R Drag Star for some contrast. D...

Re: Dream baitcaster
I would say a z2020 but 1016 sized. That reel is IMO their greatest reel produced This. Ensure it is sub 7oz / 200g with Mag3D side plate (upgraded to all aluminum if possible) Call it the Daiwa Z3D (said like zed). Raw Aluminum frame with anodized color rather than paint. The line guide is taller ...

Re: Issei RCSB HLC 1500 PE G1 spool
The 15xx size spools normally are 36mm diameter and fit the reels based off the Zillion TWS (non SV) frame. I think the last Morethan reel was that size as well.

Re: TUTORIAL - Non-SV Spool convert to SV Spool
So this makes the spools more controlled? How does it affect long distance casts?

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
The only way this dual stage SV Air Brake makes sense is if they change the spring to a non linear spring. Which is actually an excellent idea. A spring that is soft initially to get controll at low spool speeds for skipping ect but then becomes a stiffer spring the more it is compressed. I'm guess...

Re: Problem for ZPI RC 002 spool not compatible with TD ITO
Was there a version of that spool made specifically for the Monoblock reels? I think their spools were offset a bit. Never owned one.
