Hello, can anyone please comment on how the Zillion G casting performance compares to the Steez SV TW? Does the Zillion cast as far with minimal effort? Thanks!

You get both and put the Boost spool in the Steez.

The Steez is going to allow greater versatility from my experience. With the appropriate rod, I can easily cast 1/8 oz plus small plastic. The Zillion seemed to perform best around 5/16 oz and up. Overall, the Steez braking profile may be a bit more restricted, but the Zillion can become just a slight touch wild in comparison if you're not paying close attention. The Steez seemed slightly more cons as well, especially in the wind. This was just my experience with both reels in stock form.

The best comparison I can make is a tank and a fighter jet. The zillion is a straight workhorse that casts very well and the steez is sleeker and more precise. Not the zillion isn't comfortable and accurate, but if you hold and use both, you'll understand. Also, the 21 steez ltd has the boost spool, just sayin!

If I'm just trying to bomb casts, I'm using the zillion, if I'm trying to do something intentionally, the steez gets the nod.
