I'm wondering if the Zillion is worth it over the Tatula? I have a Zillion currently that hasn't seen any use and have three SV103's along with an SS SV. Should I exchange the Zillion for a Steez SV and pay the extra or get credited and get a Tatula with some change left over. Then there is the Steez A without the SV spool...

1. Steez sv- overall performance smoothness and weight
2. Sv 103-workhorse built like a tank for heavy cover techniques
3. Alphas Sv - finesse orientated techniques
I own all 3 and like them all for different reasons. Truthfully if the alphas had more drag capabilities I would probably own a couple more as the performance is great for the money. I got the steez to get the higher drag rating.

The Steez SV103 is a really nice reel. Much more refined and solid than the SS SV with better casting. I'd take it over the Zillion every day.

Not to mention a Steez normally doesn't balance well with most rods into the 7'6" + range or some 7' footers for that matter which is a versatile length ...
I've thrown A-rigs to weightless senko's and punched 1.25 oz. on the SV103. I have 4 of them for a reason ... VERSATILE !
If I need 3/16 or less I break out spinning gear.
x2 great reels the last of the true zillions before they cheapened them up with zion sideplates.
