I'm happy to see that this one is back but I wish it was also available in the 6.4:1 ratio.

I used my Z's mostly for larger moving baits ... that's where I found they shined. The 6 gear was 30" IPT which I found very versatile. The 7 gear is 34" IPT which might be little too fast for my previous uses.

I kept mine, glad to see them bring back this awesome beast. Wish they would add a 5.3:1 gear ratio.

Fr anyone who has mastered the translation- any real difference between this and the old 2020HS model? Aside from the racing stripes, of course

From what I have gathered, apart from what you have pointed out:
- different paint job. Matte black?
- different cc knob
- higher max drag (6kg cf. 5.5kg in the discountinued Z2020SH)

I like the new paint job, but dislike the gear ratio and price. Lucky I still have my old Z2020H.

That is a stunning reel! My OG Z2020 rides an SRD for swim baits and other big stuff...but I may require another Z after seeing this. :shock: :shock:

My fave translation is about the level wind..."easy street nut of chubby". Yup. Sums it up.

If they ever made this in a 100 size....

THIS! Also, I am still surprised there hasn't been a Megabass variant of the Z.

Agreed, maybe they could polish it and strengthen the finish. I remember someone polished theirs and it ended up with a shiny chrome look.
I believe with the right modified parts and drilling this reel could be lightened by around an ounce. 8-)

Not sure what I'd use it for with that gear ratio... Maybe lunker punkers?

Looks good though, and I love mag 3D
