Where is this Ape Zillion? How much was / is it and does anyone here have one? I want to know if there is any real
(not perceived) differences in it?

The Steez.. Most steez spools are what size?
Is the Steez EX the exceptiond? I am trying to figure out if a og zillion spool will fit into the steez EX?

Thanks..

OG Zillion spool will not fit in a Steez. I have no idea what the Ape Zillion is.

I was looking at jdmfishing but I've never seen any for sale not a one..
I've seen some nice collections on here but dont remember seeing any here either.. its probably a lung, liver and kidney to buy.
I'm curious to the performance of the reel or is it just a paint job. either way.. i want to know if i can sit at the table and get one.

I know of two people that have them and all I will say is good luck in your search if you’re trying to acquire one. They rarely come up for sale and I haven’t seen one for some time. Original price in 2010 was 40,000 yen. Last one I saw for sale was $400 in near mint condition. As for any increased performance over a regular zillion I can not say with any certainty.

Good Lord that's one ugly color. Looks like somebody puked up a Zillion. If you want green, the Cabelas edition is my vote.

I know someone who will part with a Zillion like that. It is used and has some marks.... :whistle:
As for the Steez spools, all of them will swap between all generations. They are all 34mm spools, same as the TD-Z.

Hah, I kinda like it. Not enough to spend the money on a real one, but if I ever get into painted reels, a BAPE zillion knockoff is high on the list. It's thematicly appropriate too, I think there are more BAPE bootlegs out there then actual product.

My favorate thing from that collab is the hoodie, but even if I could accept paying that much for a cotton hoodie, I don't think Japanese double XL will fit me.

2XL in Japan is like a SMedium here. :lol:
