I am successfully running a og zillion main gear in a steez a but have to use the steez a pinion. Something we'll need to work on. I'm pulling the sleeves out of my A and see what mods the yoke may need to get the OG gears fitted. I got a tatula yoke in the bin somewhere............... pretty sure ...

I need a brass gear for myself, I like brass because I fish mainly saltwater. Can somebody link me to the gear they used?

What gear ratio, Left or right handed?

JJBassnForFun, any follow to your testing with the 5:1 LH gearset? What gearset did you use? Any idea of IPT achieved? That might hit 20-21 I would think... Nice deep CB or SB reel I would say. Been beating the fudge out of them with SB and bladed jigs slow rolling over grass. The 100ML is working ...

A bud has been beating up his coastal's drag with strippers and blues. Asked me about beefing it up some. Anybody got a Z200 that can measure the OD of the steel washers?

Looking for eared washers 32mm in diameter to be more specific?

Old post but........... I finally got my hands on an A and found the main gears have the exact same center as the older steez/OG Zill. Main gear is an exact swap, But the pinion is another story. Daiwa added liners to each bearing and the yoke is much different. Pulling the liners and modding a yoke...

I have a couple OG Fuego casting reels I have been considering a tune up. Any suggestions to keep the budget low but soup these up a bit? Start with a complete disassemble/Clean and lube. Oil the bearings and grease the gears. Note all bushing sizes and replace with bearings. Including the knobs. S...

If you look at the picture where it shows Duraclutch, Im gonna say no. But what you are looking at says yes. Maybe they used a different reel for the clutch picture?

Look below dura clutch where is says pinion shaft support. The one after salt shield TM........

Seen this when browsing. Seems Abu may have actual listened to some of the critics and added support to the pinion gear. :) Its only on the Revo black 10 from what I saw. Look down to the bottom of page. https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=https://www.purefishing.jp/product/brand/ab...

Don't mod the pinion gear. Add the zillion bearing and keep the pinion support. Use a liner from the zillion or make a brass ring for the pinion as I did here!.

Had a couple reels come in with after market drag washers installed. Seems some have the washer under the drive gear a bit too think. It allowed the kicker to miss the cog. Put the OG washer and they worked fine again. Just a suggestion. May not be your issue, But figured I'd pass it on. Some are cu...

Which reels are the gen 4 and gen 3 spools compatible? I just found out the hard way that some gen 3 spools aren't compatible. The Deez IVCB spool for gen 3 Elite 7/8 does not fit the gen 3 MGX. Same diameter but the MGX spool is like 3 mil more narrow. 2011 gen 3s aren't compatable with 2013 gen 3...

Revo SX ven 4 spool. 9.1 grams with bearing. https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32910073252.html?spm=a2g0n.search-cache.0.0.34254W084W08Fj FYI, I finally purchased a gen 4 and the gen 3 spools are compatible. I found these with a search for a gen 3 spool and should fit the new gen 4's. I may purchase on...

Pretty bad when 50% of the production run is total poop!! Gonna need to rethink the machining process! :oops: I chatted with the machinist and we think the pinion is getting deformed under the pressure during machining. Basically a deflection of the blank under the force of the tool...... :crying: I...
