ZPI MG spool upgrade (daiwa)

[africanbass]

Box states compatible reels, excluding US Trail.

I've only seen one ZPI spool that's a true fit for the Zillion/100m frame. It's what I call the "big brother" of the Blue Emblem and seems to be significantly more rare. It's very nice

Whats the line capacity on that spool? I may need to find one

Not sure, but it's definitely not a deep spool... I'll try to find time to post a pic side by side with a Blue Emblem. On trying to find one, good luck, you'll need it

That seems to be the theme with everything I'm looking for right now, good luck

Thanks Gary.

Got my Blue Emblems! But I do have a question, why does one have a bearing on both ends? They both still have an additional bearing included with the paperwork.

I don't think it should Maybe the bearing clip holding the magnetic breaking bearing was missing and it got stuck on the spool instead of being in the reel.

It was a long day of air travel yesterday so I didn't even pull out the tweezers. I will see of the bearing comes off easily later today.

Cant wait for a review of those bad boys.

Very nice
Your Grand prix Tiger has no stripes

Ya, I noticed that too.. Another odd thing about the spools: some have gold inductors and some have silver. And still yet some of the gold inductors are have holes while all the silver ones and some gold ones are solid. I think it has to do with their age. My guess is the silver inductor models are earliest, solid gold are phase 2 and the ported gold are final phase.

My understanding is that the gold inductor spools came with two SiC ball bearings (one installed, one for sideplate), while the silver inductors had stainless BB's.

No clue on the difference between the ported and non-ported gold ones

Looks great but I found my 1016(LIN spool) casts further than my RC-001. Time for new bearing?

Finally got a pic taken of my collection of 002's.. I thought I had 2 MJR, but now looking closer I believe I have 1 MJR and a Lime Gold.
The orange one front right is a cp301 for the pixy platform.

Amazing! I've been for one year only to get one 002. i'm late again...

I have been playing around with the TD-Z platform and the Blue emblem ZPI spool. I have come to find that for my casting it is simply the best reel/spool combo I have. I was amazed in it's ability to bomb heavy baits without fear of any fluff or backlash. Yesterday I spooled up my second blue emblem with #8 red lebel floro and tied on a 1/12oz fish arrow jig head and 3" ez shiner. Paired with the 6'5" shimano Cumulus I had a 8.6oz smallie killer. I was casting hard into the wind with that light bait and got more than enough distance, again without any fluff or backlash. I have tossed this same bait and line on my PX68R and although distance is similar, the PX68 is much more finicky and likely to fluff up.

I caught 20 or so smallmouth and it was a dream.

Awesome! Sounds like that spool is magic man.
