Re: New Zillion Rods
I have the 72h and 73h If you wanna save a few hundred bucks The 73 H fishes and feels almost exactly like the evergreen jackhammer super combat rod, so far good for chatterbaits and should work great w/ 6inch magdraft. i couldnt find a treble hook one to try but would prefer that over the freestyl...

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's
My Gekkabijin with a few changes. I added a Steez CT cc cap, SV103 drag star and a 90mm handle with new style, larger knobs. It also has a Ray's deep spool that only weighs. 2 grams more than the stock spool. It's one of two dedicated power finesse reels now. It is spooled with 20# braid and sits o...

Re: Is the OG Zillion dead ?
I enjoy the reel have three... two J Dreams and one SV103
Spoke with Daiwa earlier this year not sure how much longer part support will be available. I ordered 7.9 gear set for the SV103 and was advised they stopped production in Feb 2022. They had stock and I was able to complete my order.

Re: New 2021 Daiwa 月下美人 “Alphas” Air TW PE Special
Nice review Appreciate the differences in lure weights and experiences. To add to the topic I received my Ray's HLC spool, it fit nicely with no unexpected rubbing or problems. I spooled it with the Yozuri Superbraid 20lb that was on the OEM spool. The line lay was compact and even with no build up ...

Re: New 2021 Daiwa 月下美人 “Alphas” Air TW PE Special
I like those Ray's long cast spools. Did you get the SV brake or fixed inductor LC? I have 3 in 34 mm. The fixed inductor 34mm short shaft for my 1016 reels and a wide 34mm long cast SV brake one for my old Tatula Type R as well as a 34mm shallow LC with SV brake for my Fuego CT. All 3 are differen...

Re: New 2021 Daiwa 月下美人 “Alphas” Air TW PE Special
Could you check that if spools are interchangeable between GekkaBijin AIR TW PE & Alphas Air TW? Youtube videos and several comments by users tell that spools are interchangeable They may be the same dimensions but, if the TWS travels less on the Gekka Bijin, that could cause line issues if trying ...

Re: The search for one (Lipless) Megabass Orochi xx EMTF vs Destroyer Javelin
Wow. I just purchased a javelin and a Gen 2 Levante EMTF. I had a chance to use the EMTF for lipless. It’s a hair squishy for medium-medheavy vegetation. I used the javelin for chatterbaits and it was awesome. I’ll let you know how it handles a lipless. For what it’s worth, the best rod I ever used...
