Pic's and proof. Not fished yet, But I busted my bu++ on these and finally got a worthy set for trials hopefully this weekend. Braking out the TD Z BBS for some heavy jig fishing.

Not much to say just yet without testing. My last attempts(many many attempts) have been epic fails.

What else would you like to know?

Well, I guess mostly are these custom cut or some gears from another reel?

Main gear is oem with tweaks and the pinion is custom cut.

Very cool. A 7.1 RH TD-Z has been one of my fishing 'Holy Grails" for a while, but don't have the resources to do any custom fabrication or anything like that. Good luck. I hope it works out for you!

Been wondering how long it'd be till someone pulled this off.

Hope it works!

I need this!

Day one of testing was OK, But had spool engagement issues. Tweaked for day two's test and all went very well. Besides being a bit geary feeling they fished the best so far!! I'd still like to test them a bit more. Wasn't much of a jig bite. All I caught was a stump. Texas rigged the second day, But the bite was mainly blade or moving baits this weekend.

@pharmboy2010 I may need another tester if your interested? You were the first to respond and I liked your "holy grail" comment!!

That would be awesome if you can make a quality set. I would also be interested in acquiring a set or helping with QC.

I just wish the OG Zillion 7.1:1 gears worked in the TDZ. That is maybe my favorite gear set of all time.

I wonder if another company could buy the cast and dies for the OG TD Z gears? Seems that the stuff thats no longer available through HH Studio, is now being available out of China at Ali Express and DIY.

I don't have enough material to do more than 2 sets right now. I'll keep you in mind for tester number 2.

I like the SV103 series as its the best of both. OG Zln gearing with the 34mm spools. Wished I bought more!! The BBS will likely be the only RH TD-Z I'll own. The other is the TD-Z100ML Which has been given the swimbait duties now that I have it geared to 5.1:1.

Oh and there still may be a chance for 8.0:1 gearing. Just to busy at the moment.
