Any news or excitement about Jackall Poison USDM drop?

I personally cant wait!! But can anyone confirm if they were a significant difference in the blank between the old Jackall Poison and the Expride?

Finish on JDM Revo reel: does it hold up?

They look so sick! And I think I finally found my swimbait reel...Revo big shooter compact.

Only question is how does the finish hold up on these reels?

Re: Am I stupid to buy a Steez A and swap the spool with my new Morethan?

So does the Steez A spool actually hold more capacity of line than the Morethan spool? Morethan: 200 Meters of 1.5 PE (generally referred to as .205mm) Steez A: 100 Meters of 16# Nylon (generally referred to as .370 mm) Anyone with any other techinical input? The Steez A holds 100 meters (110 yards...

Re: Zillion SV TW or Chronarch MGL for jig reel

Yeah I'm going to order a Zillion SV TW. I have a nib Met that will either find another rod or I'll sell it. I've honestly heard so many good things about the new Zillion and it's spool that it seems stupid to not try one. I've got to admit when they did away with the old Zillion frame I was livid.....

Zillion SV TW or Chronarch MGL for jig reel

These are probably the top 2 reels that make high speeds and great casters for jigs, and a lot of people own both I’m sure... So which one is the better all around performer for jigs, pitching, and plastics?

Steez would be pick one...but not wanting to shell out that much right now!

Tatula sv tw vs. Zillion SV spool?

Anyone know if there are weight or inductor differences? I keep seeing great promos right now on the Tatula SV TW and I would normally roll with the Zillion upgrade but people seem to be loving these reels and I gotta admit they look dope.

Zillion TWS feedback from owners?

Did these reels ever have problems with grooving like the first reels with t-wing? I'm thinking of getting one for my dedicated swimbait reel, as they're relatively cheap now and hold enough line. Thanks so much dudes!

Re: New swimbait reel selection

The Zillion HD 1620 is what you want, if youre looking for a low-pro reel that has good line capacity (100 meters or 110 yds of 20# mono). Pretty sure you can get it in the CC 5.5 gear or 6.3. About the exact capacity i would like! I'm not familiar with that Zillion variant I'll have to research bu...

Re: New swimbait reel selection

honestly it depends on the type and weight of swim baits you are throwing. If you are going to throw the 10 oz baits then i would probably look at the heavy duty reels such as conquest / calcutta 400. I throw a ton of glide baits now and have been for the past few years and mine are 2- 6 0z range m...

New swimbait reel selection

I'm getting ready to buy a reel for my first swimbait rod. I would say dedicated swimbait rod, but I'm sure it will get other things tossed on it in a pinch but it will be a 90% swimbait use rod. The rod is being build for me right now. I've been studying swimbaiting and watching a lot of youtube gu...
