Looking to buy this reel from Tackle Trap as they have a 4.9:1 ratio for crankin. Just curious if this reel is solid in performance. I can’t really find much about it.
For perspective, I have a few Steez reels and Zillions and SV 103s etc. I wanna know if it will fit in with these reels. It does not have an SV spool. Would I be better off sticking to reels I know ?

I have one on the way, in 7.3 gear. I have the new model Zillion HD and the new JDM Zillion HLC. Both are really good performers.
Don't really need an SV spool for the heavier baits. If the Catalina is as good as these I will be happy. Will post up a pic when it comes in. The price was rite, didn't "need" another Zillion, BUT

I've been fishing my 4.9 and 7.3 since they came in and I'm very happy with them, especially at that price point. They are an incredible value to say the least. As far as performance goes, I've thrown everything from deep cranks to umbrella rigs, jigs to spinner baits and vibrating jigs, and they fish and feel like a higher end Daiwa.
