Nice combo, JDreams are the best of the Zillions.

Re: Life is but a dream
Very nice. What's the difference between the JDream and the HLC? (my personal favorite)

Re: Life is but a dream
Other than cosmetics it's the spool. J dream has the lightest spool of all the zillions. I think it's 14g with everything.
Re: Life is but a dream
Cool looking combo! Wish I have that famous Zillion J Dream.
Re: Life is but a dream
I have never been able to find a mint J-Dream at a price that I wanted to pay. I almost bought a Megabass IP last year, but I was patient enough to wait for the new SV spool reels which give me less reason to buy the J-Dream or IP over the USDM Zillion that I own so many of. I think I'll keep looking for fun though. I really like the clean and simple looks of the J-Dream.

Re: Life is but a dream
J Dreams and IPs are basically the same reel besides the cosmetics. I believe the spool is the same too.toddmc wrote:I have never been able to find a mint J-Dream at a price that I wanted to pay.

Re: Life is but a dream
Yes but the j-dream and ip spools are lighter and more versitile than the standard zillion. That is why they are more desirable for most.LgMouthGambler wrote:J Dreams and IPs are basically the same reel besides the cosmetics.

The main gears and pinion are different on the IP VS J-dream.toddmc wrote:Yes but the j-dream and ip spools are lighter and more versitile than the standard zillion.

Nice combo Adam, always liked how the J matches up nicely with the XX accents.

Re: Life is but a dream
The Megabass IP comes in 6.8 and 7.9 ratios. The J-Dream came in 5.3, 6.3, and 7.9 ratios. The Zillion came in 4.9, 6.3, and 7.3 ratios. The Zillion PE came in a 6.3 and also a 7.9 special Japan model. The SV103 comes in 6.3 and 7.9. I don't know if any have gears that are not brass.Tigerbass wrote:Could you elaborate on the gear differences?389Maverick wrote:The main gears and pinion are different on the IP VS J-dream.toddmc wrote:Yes but the j-dream and ip spools are lighter and more versitile than the standard zillion.
