Show off your OG Zillion

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Very nice! I especially like that murdered out look with the silver star and red knobs. Sick! Is that a custom paint job?

Yes It’s grand piano black. It’s the only custom painted reel I have left
It’s basically a Type R. The other two sport original gears but all other upgrades. One has a PE special spool and the other ize spool

They look great! That PE special is one sweet looking real. Love that JDM SH picture as well; wet, muddy, dinged up. A true workhorse!

Haha, thanks! It's my only Zillion now that I sold my beloved Type R. I'll let you know if I ever decide to part ways with it.
