Thank you, Lowrange. And I notice "weihai fishing" seller increased price for those spools. Hi LowRange, as you have bought a lot of those spools from aliexpress, do you who is Ray behind those ali sellers? O:) Does he have any official seller site on ali? I always want to support those original own...

Shimano technical support staff has been crying behind this sad story... lol They should give you another brand new reel when it was the first service time I replaced all the bearings, including the roller clutch bearing, and also put in a new gear set. Super smooth for a few outings and then the vi...

Hi LowRange, as you have bought a lot of those spools from aliexpress, do you who is Ray behind those ali sellers? O:) Does he have any official seller site on ali? I always want to support those original owner for creative things if I can. I thought that "weihai fishing" was the seller and manufact...

So sad, after you replaced almost everything you could, it still not resolved the root cause of vibration... I guess the frame manufacturing tolerances is the only one left to blame. someone likes those feeling and calls it "connection feeling" but I am not. ](*,) I also tried to use thick shimano g...

Agree~~~ Buy both then you decide by yourself which one you don't like... The worst case is to sell one reel here and you should not lose a lot of money... :-({|= :-({|= :-({|= That doesn't make one manufacturer absolutely superior to another, especially Daiwa & Shimano, and no one has any truly sub...

Is "3M clear bra material" safe for the paint? Thanks. I got my first MGL XG lefty shortly after they hit and immediately ordered two more of the same. To me they're magic, I even like the looks just fine. They're all on Kistlers; a Mag 2 ML, a Mag 2 LMH and a Helium 3 LMH. Even though I like Winn g...

I am happy you finally find the root cause. Good luck man! I am agree with you Shimano(or JLS)should give you this AR bearing for free or only let you pay for the mailing. I did try turning everything off. Also tried removing the spool entirely and it still makes the sound so it can't be the breakin...

I try to turn my iPad volume up to max. If you are referring to " sha sha sha Sha" noise, it's not that obvious problem for me. I will be agree with others and make sure it's not from SVS brake and turn off all the brakes and try it again. And I assume you have checked the spool self spinning, right...

The worst case is you spend some shipping and it should have no problem to return it to JLS. BTW, a small video will be much better than thousands of words to understand the real problem. Hey guys I've been away form the site for a while, took a break from buying all kinds of tackle but I'm back int...

I still remember it was $285 in my cart at that time.

Agree, I saw Zillion SV TW as lower as $150 end of last year otherwise I have no idea how Tatula SV sales. So... The Zillion SV TW and the Tatula SV TW will be price pointed correctly then. After reading the TT review on the original "new" Zillion, they mentioned that it was almost identical to the ...

lol~~~ Thank you Bootytrain for explanation. I mean that "svs adjustment dial" click. I keep calling the knob in the handle side "spool tension knob" and the other side one "casting control knob". ](*,) ](*,) Wow, I hadn't even noticed the cast control click yet? Awesome! He means the external svs a...

Thanks for sharing. Nice looking SV103HL! Good day! There's nothing available to make it click unless you can buy one from the guy who machined one or find an old junk reel and take that piece from it. They're pressed on but will come off if you work at it. The guy who makes the piece doesn't seem t...

Thanks for sharing, Baitcastingchampion! But that "play on the dial" scares me. Have you tried to talk to the seller about this issue? I plan to upgrade from my 1st generation Conquest DC 101 to the lefty Scorpion DC releasing in next month(April). I hope I am luck with the reel. Good day~~~~~ I hav...

"Quite an improvement over the last ci4 chronarch." +1 Except above, Chronarch casting control has "click" sound if that counts. \:D/ \:D/ And same as last generation, Chronarch MGL has brass gears vs Metanium MGL aluminum gears ](*,) To be honest, Chronarch MGL feels smoother than Metanium MGL bas...
