tdz100m spool

[Pegasus]

I was told that this spool would revolutionize my zillion and turn it into a light bait casting machine can somebody give me a realistic expectation since the spool is about 75.00 .

I have one for my Zillion 50th and I love it. It's a definite improvement over the stock Zillion spool. The real advantage to the spool in my eyes is in pitching applications. I use mine with 50# braid pitching jigs.

I don't know that I'd say it will turn your Zillion into a finesse reel though. It is a lighter spool than stock. How light of baits are you talking?

1/4 oz. - 3/8 oz.

Would this be a shallow spool as well

Not a shallow spool by any means. You can get about 120yds of 12lb line. I used this in a Fuego for awhile and loved it for pitching but I don't think that I would consider this a spool for light baits. I have a Hyper Cast PE spool in my Zillion 50th now and that spool can casts 3/16th oz baits and it is definitely a shallow spool. I can't cast 3/16thoz baits very far and only tried it once when I bought it. It is a pitching and flipping machine. I have heard that the Zillion Dream spool is the lightest and I would assume that if you are looking for a light lure casting spool this would be it.

100M normal line capacity -15grams
Hypercast closer to a deep spool -13grams
Hypercast PE shallow spool - 12grams
JD Dream a little less than a normal spool - I think I heard 10 or 11grams

All that being said for pitching and flipping purposes the 100M spool you wouldn't be dissappointed. Just not a light lure spool.

It shines when pitching. It definitely has more range than a stock spool but will not make your Zillion a finesse reel.

The 100m spool will make a noticeable difference in both casting and pitching 1/4 to 3/8 oz lures over the stock Zillion spool. Is it worth the price? I think so as the Zillions I own (except for the Deps) have 100m spools installed and I'm very happy with the performance gains across the board. We keep them in stock in case you decide you want one!

Do you know how much this spool cost ? since I am already in for 320.00 in this reel.
Hypercast PE shallow spool - 12grams

I saw this spool on line Hypercast PE shallow spool - 12grams looks very shallow I use 16lb. sunline supermatural mono 33mm. diameter just wondering how many yds. could I get on this spool.
I have a Shimano D7 that comes with a shallow spool is it comparable to the Hypercast PE ?

Would you happen to know how much the stock spool weighs ?

I just got 2 from Tackel Trap for 74.99 each.

I don't believe that you would get that many yards of 16lb. Maybe 35-45yds but I would imagine that is enough it is for flipping or short pitching. I run 65lb braid and suspect that I have 75yds on it. As far as your D7 I am not familiar with it or spools for it since I have never fished one or owned one.

I got the spool from Tackle Trap and loaded it on my JD 5.3 with 65# braid and was spooling every cast with a 3/4 oz SB. Not that it wouldn't have done it with the JD spool but I could see a difference over the stock R and CC which is what I purchased it for. Outside of paying the extra cash for the Hyper Long cast this is a worthy upgrade to most Zillions. Not sure yet how it stacks up against the JD because I don't throw finesse with either spool and haven't taken either pitching. Plus, when I do I doubt I'll use anything lighter then 1 oz so I'm the wrong guy for that type of a review. Regardless, it's worth the $75 upgrade and I haven't even changed the bearings although I did purchase it with the spool.

Maybe I didn't specify I wouldn't be using this spool for pitching I would be using it for casting . According to the specs my D7 holds 90 yds of 14lb mono they didn't specify diameter but I think it would be around .033 - .035 I was able to find Sunline S.N. 16lb @ .033 so I think I spool at least 75 yds on to it . The Hypercast looks really shallow is it specifically made for pitching or just to hold light line ?
