I kept mine, glad to see them bring back this awesome beast. Wish they would add a 5.3:1 gear ratio.jpd0144 wrote:I have sellers remorse for selling my z200 and z2020.
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.

Re: NEW! Z2020 Black Limited Edition
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:CALL ME RIFLE wrote:Fr anyone who has mastered the translation- any real difference between this and the old 2020HS model? Aside from the racing stripes, of course
- 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.
Re: NEW! Z2020 Black Limited Edition
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.
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.Tokugawa wrote:If they ever made this in a 100 size....

Agreed, maybe they could polish it and strengthen the finish. I remember someone polished theirs and it ended up with a shiny chrome look.pharmboy2010 wrote:THIS! Also, I am still surprised there hasn't been a Megabass variant of the Z.Tokugawa wrote:If they ever made this in a 100 size....
I believe with the right modified parts and drilling this reel could be lightened by around an ounce.

Not sure what I'd use it for with that gear ratio... Maybe lunker punkers?
Looks good though, and I love mag 3D
