Zillion HD 8.1 versus Zillion G 8.5

Post by dragon1 » Sun Aug 13, 2023 6:24 pm

Does anyone know if there is any difference in the brass composition between these two gear sets?

I would like to replace the 8.6 C6191 bronze-brass in my 2019 Morethan, however Daiwa doesn't sell any gears or parts for MagSeal JDM reels outside of Japan. I'm thinking if Plat will allow an order of the Zillion HD 8.1 it might make for a good replacement set.

TIA.

If Plat doesn’t allow it I live in Japan and can hook it up.

You may want to try Plat again, they have recently opened up all the gearsets for purchase on the website, including the magsealed reels. I know for a while they were all unavailable for purchase but it seems like that is no longer the case.

I had to mail my More than XH to Japan to get the gears replaced after engaging the spool on a cast.

I will see if I can buy some extras

Koolio...I have other projects right now so the C6191 gears are not a priority for me ATM.
