Try oiling the spool bearings first. Bantam oil will work. Should quiet it down.

Re: Bates
I bought one ftom Tackle Express. Odd, there was no paperwork included, just the reel and a reel cover similar to the TW covers. Can't remember the last time I bought a reel that didn't have paperwork or oil, etc. Loved the way it palmed, felt smooth, but didn't care for the knobs. Also the handle ...

Re: Team Lews ELITE-Ti SLP looks better than anything from Daiwa/Shimano
I also find it odd that Lew's/Doyo/Abu has not implemented dual pinion support. It is time. Most new Lew's releases since '18, which were called 2020 models, have it. Since then all new releases of existing models have it above $200. The $100 LFS has it as well as the $150 MB. Lew's calls it the P2...

Re: 22 Zillion TW HD
I'm not sure it needs to be harped on further, but it's just bearing buzz and vibration. It's the factory Zillion HD boost spool, and It's plenty audible even on a short flip of the wrist cast. (It's an iPhone mic out on the lake, so you have to turn the volume up) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Wd...

Re: 22 Zillion TW HD
Fished the first HD and the G for a while yesterday afternoon. Haven't really played with the 2nd HD yet. I had two Tat 100s rigged up, and the G and the HD. On similar rods with similar lures, neither cast as far, as easily as a plain old Tatula 100. Your guess is as good as mine as to why? The br...

Re: 22 Zillion TW HD
Sounds like grease in the bearings...have you tried swapping the spools between your two Zillions and seeing what results you get? Full disclosure, I am not sure where the Zillion G and Zillion HD have the same size spool. That's how my G came in. Bearings packed. Corrected that. Been great ever si...

[/quote]When are the “MBD” (micro belt drive) reels being released? I think I want to get on that bandwagon. 😂 (That’s a joke, but maybe I need to go ahead and trademark that, lol) [/quote] Can't wait for the new AMMOGUY MBD-1. You can do it! Be ready for the scrutiny though. Is it a Banax? Is it a ...

Re: 22 Zillion TW HD
Nope, I have several SV reels/spools. I've never heard or felt it before the ZHD.

I've felt it on several Magforce Z spools and my '17 Tatula SV, but not on the Zillion 1000 G.

Re: 22 Zillion TW HD
I believe what you’re describing are the brakes/inductor retracting from the side plate. Are you seeing any negative effects? Joe I think the spool is fluffing slightly more than before it started making that noise. Other than that nothing negative other than it's really annoying. It's it "normal" ...
