Re: Project T 22 #6: another Tatula

I hope I am wrong but the mag dial does not look recessed enough to me.

Re: Seriously still no news about new '22 reels?

I'm very surprised Shimano Japan has not come out with a Scorpion 70 MGL yet.

Re: T-Wing rattle

When fishing bladed jigs I have always used 6 gear reels for cold or deep water and 7 gear reels for warm or over weed beds. I decided to experiment with the Zillion 10 and it worked better then I thought as I caught a bunch of fish. The cranking power was pretty good and the super high speed was he...

Re: T-Wing rattle

After fishing a bladed jig with my Zillion again I noticed the handle knobs also rattle when jerking the rod during the retrieve. So half the rattle sound is the T-Wing and half are the knobs. The bladed jig I was using is the Omega Rapture that shakes like crazy on the retrieve but none of my non T...

I own a few reels with the t-wing and have never heard any type of rattle.
It must be from the bladed jig making the rod and line vibrate and then transferring it to the T-Wing.

T-Wing rattle

I recently tested my Zillion 10 out fishing bladed jigs. Every time I would sweep the rod to clear weeds. the T-Wing would rattle like crazy.. Talk about annoying. Anybody else noticed this?

I've never had a reel with brass gears feel "geary".
All 5 of my SLX variants became rough or geary after just a few outings. I replaced all the gears and the same thing happened again.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000

When I take my reels apart I line the parts up in a straight line as I take them off and then reverse it when I reassemble the parts.

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: Zillion sv TW 1000

Perhaps try a different rod. I had it on a Zillion rod that has a very narrow reel seat and did not like it on there. On a custom with ESC and thicker grip, it felt really good. I never noticed the knob after switching rods. Most of my rods have ECS reels. I tried everything that I own and the issu...
