RCS Handles for Zillions
RCS Handles for Zillions
I'm thinking about buying some RCS handles for my Zillions and so I'm wondering what handle size I should choose: 80, 90, or 100 mm. I am assuming the stock Zillion handles are 80 mm (I could be wrong). What are the advantages / disadvantages of the 90 and 100 mm size handles? Do they feel much different and are they more comfortable to use? Approximately how much more line per turn will I get with the longer handles? Any feedback is appreciated.

Your not going to get anymore inches per turn of the handle will a longer handle, that's the gears role. What you could get more cranking power with a longer handle, but I've found you don't get much with the higher gear ratio reels (7.1:1 and over). I've replaced one with a 92 and it feels perfect.

Yup...and the spool diameter...cjtoad wrote:Your not going to get anymore inches per turn of the handle will a longer handle, that's the gears role.

A 100mm handle just seems too big to me. A 90mm is good. I also have a 92mm on a Fuego and it feels good, but it is not a swept handle.
The other benefit is weight reduction. A CF handle is lighter than a stock Zillion handle.

Re: RCS Handles for Zillions
RCS handle comes with 4 CRBB, ordered a 80MM for my reel recently. It also comes with what you need, the knob plug remover, nut wrench, 2 types of handle nut holder.Carlos Carrapiço wrote:Just to add that the RCS handles come with 4 CRBB included accordingly to daiwa site.spicytuna wrote:I'm thinking about buying some RCS handles for my Zillions and so I'm wondering what handle size I should choose: 80, 90, or 100 mm.

Sorry for so many questions but does it comes also with the screws and washers that go between the bearings and the handle?damian_megabass wrote:RCS handle comes with 4 CRBB, ordered a 80MM for my reel recently.

Yes. It includes the knob screws and the spacers required to make themem fit properly.
Just got an 80mm for my Steez and a 100mm for my Zillion.
The 100mm feels larger than I expected, but should be perfect for my frog combo.
