Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
The dial moved by my index finger when casting or setting the hook.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Perhaps try a different rod. I had it on a Zillion rod that has a very narrow reel seat and did not like it on there. On a custom with ESC and thicker grip, it felt really good. I never noticed the knob after switching rods. Most of my rods have ECS reels. I tried everything that I own and the issu...

Re: Knocking sound from baitcasters
It could be the play in the handle shaft hitting where it connects to the frame. Every reel has some amount of play. My OG Fuego bangs quite a bit when I reel in fast to make another cast. To check just grab the handle and drag and pull in and out a few times to see how bad it is.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
For those that have the dial issue do you palm with 3 fingers in front of the trigger? Yes, I use three fingers. I tried other ways to grip the reel but it didn't work for me. I am a vocal hater of T Wing reels with wide noses and protruding mag dials so when the new Zillian came out with the new d...

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I guess I might be the only one who has an issue with the new Zillion. I love everything about the reel except for the mag dial location. When I cast or fight a fish my index finger usually ends up right on top of the dial. Not only is it uncomfortable but I have felt and heard the dial move. The pa...

Re: New Tatula 150
Bumping. Are we sure these are 34mm spools? Hedgehog is saying that 36mm spools from the 153 and HRF fir Tatula 150 HD. Not such a bad rehash if they bumped the spool diameter, added hardened gearing and a 100mm handle. The 150 has the same exact size spool as the original Tatula 100. Both are 34 m...

Re: Chronarch MGL
Not sure. I still have an HG... Are you looking to buy one? I still like mine, I don't think it isn't smooth like some have said, just has a buzzy feeling while retrieving. Other than that it casts great still, I would love to see a successor to it... Maybe a Chronarch MGL 50? Like a carbon composi...

Just ordered the last lefty Zillion SV TW 1000 available on Tackle Warehouse. Three 6.3:1 rh reels were still available.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I just installed a new bearing and nothing changed. It feels like the gears to me. After comparing the smoothness of the Steez A to the Bantam, the Bantam feels rougher. I shouldn't single out the Steez A because I can't keep any of my modern reels smooth. My smoothest reels I own are the lower gea...

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I must be super hard on my reels because even my Bantam MGL and Curado 71 MGL gears have a slight buzz to them. One of my Mets got a little buzzy after its first year of usage on all kinds of different baits. I sent it off to Dan Isaac and he said it wasn't the gear. It was ball bearing PN# BNT3927...

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I am the guy that had my Steez A turn geary after using it for Chaterbaits. Unfortunately the second set of gears suffered the same fate. Also, for the second time the anti reverse bearings have randomly failed when setting the hook on fish. I must be super hard on my reels because even my Bantam MG...

Re: So much Hype - The Beast that is the Daiwa Zillion 2021
Are the handle knobs the same size on both reels?
