I hope your right LowRange, but the latest Tatula 100 has the dial access on the top but it still doesn't work for me. In my case the problem is also the ridge that sticks out that is below the mag dial with all of the Tatula's and this new one looks like it has a ridge to.

The SLX DC XT looks like the 2017 Scorpion 100 DC but with a MGL III spool.

I hope I am wrong but the mag dial does not look recessed enough to me.

I'm very surprised Shimano Japan has not come out with a Scorpion 70 MGL yet.

When fishing bladed jigs I have always used 6 gear reels for cold or deep water and 7 gear reels for warm or over weed beds. I decided to experiment with the Zillion 10 and it worked better then I thought as I caught a bunch of fish. The cranking power was pretty good and the super high speed was he...

After fishing a bladed jig with my Zillion again I noticed the handle knobs also rattle when jerking the rod during the retrieve. So half the rattle sound is the T-Wing and half are the knobs. The bladed jig I was using is the Omega Rapture that shakes like crazy on the retrieve but none of my non T...

I own a few reels with the t-wing and have never heard any type of rattle.

It must be from the bladed jig making the rod and line vibrate and then transferring it to the T-Wing.

I recently tested my Zillion 10 out fishing bladed jigs. Every time I would sweep the rod to clear weeds. the T-Wing would rattle like crazy.. Talk about annoying. Anybody else noticed this?

I've never had a reel with brass gears feel "geary".

All 5 of my SLX variants became rough or geary after just a few outings. I replaced all the gears and the same thing happened again.

Anybody want to take a stab at what “CT” stands for?

compact and tough?

They are basically Revos. Abu Garcia and Penn are both owned by Pure Fishing.

On a M.L.F. broadcast. bass pro Brian Thrift mentioned he was using a new big bladed Chatterbait.

When I take my reels apart I line the parts up in a straight line as I take them off and then reverse it when I reassemble the parts.

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 p...
