Daiwa 200 Size W/ Dual Pinion Bearing Support

Post by RMCatchNrelease » Thu Feb 11, 2021 6:28 pm

Does it exist? Dual bearing pinion support?

I don't know of any 200 sized Free Floating spools.

Thank you

Luna 200? Ryoga Shrapnel? 1520 Ryoga if you consider that a 200. Its at least a 150 with the wide 36mm spool. The old gen tatula based Zillions also fall into this category with their line capacity such as the Zillion TW HD and Catalina TW.

The Z200/Z2020 not do anything for you?

I wanted low profile and more capacity than the 1520 size.

I'm looking for Swimbait reel but the 300 at 11+oz. Is a heavy. Had the Catalina and sort of pissed I sold the 7.1. But the spool was way to shallow for mono/flouro work.

The Z is cool but again, it hold 70m of .40. Berkley big game #20 is .45.

People say the Z2020 has plenty of capacity but I'm curious if it would hold enough #25 for big expensive baits.

Thank you

70m of 25# is 76 yards of big wiry mono. I would absolutely use a Z or Ryoga. Maybe even a Tatula 200 with a 153 spool get that sweet Magforce Z. I don't throw big baits but fixed inductor seems like a downgrade.

The old Zillion TWS reels are brutally tough. You can find them CHEAP too. I bought my wife's for $180 something years ago, before the Zillion SV TW came out even. They are good reels, I have a 9.1 and 7.3, changed the 9.1 gears to a 7.3 though. I feel the 6.3 ratio would handle medium sized swimbaits and some lighter large stuff, but not sure I can come up with a dual supported 200 size. Maybe check the fellow Japanese reel maker?

Older model, I know, but the TD Advantage 150 holds 190yds/12# line and has the Super-Free spool and pinion gear. Technically, it's a 200 size reel, even though it's marked as a 150. There is a 150P and a 150H. I have used both for up to medium size swimbaits(3-4 oz) with no problems at all. Those reels are absolute tanks, too. I have a 150H that still works great, in spite of being over 15 years old. Btw, it has Magforce Z, too, even with the deep spool.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Thank you for the replies.

I should not have sold my 7.1 Catalina. I should have just bought the 1520 spool from the Zillion.

Now I'm looking at the Zillion for $350 haha. That TTT deal was simply amazing.
