TD Zillion drag star
TD Zillion drag star
Does the TD Zillion stock drag star work on the TD-Z and Fuego reels?
Re: TD Zillion drag star
It's a bit heavier, but yes. You will need a swept handle for it to look right. The TD Zillion Type-R and 50th Anniversary stars are lighter because they don't have a brass/heavy metal center like the TD Zillion.

You might also need an extra spacer washer. On some TDZs, the collar hits the silver handle
bearing sleeve when the drag is really tight.

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
Re: TD Zillion drag star
Isn't the drag star on the 50th lighter in color than the normal Zillion perhaps matching the original TDZ better?

Re: TD Zillion drag star
Yes, it matches almost exactly....but I'm pretty sure that part sold out long ago. I tried to source one 3 yrs or so ago with no luck. But this is TT, someone is bound to have a takeoff in their parts stash.Moosehead wrote:Isn't the drag star on the 50th lighter in color than the normal Zillion perhaps matching the original TDZ better?

That's what I've started doing. I have several parts reels that I scavenge from.bpettus2 wrote:Just buy complete reels some of these are not expensive the 50th anniversary will be harder to source good luck . I also want need swept drag stars for future projects
