I got both of mine for less than $200 new. I just watched the auction site like a hawk and waited for promos.

I really want one of the 9.1's for my skipping rod. That'll probably be the next thing.

My buddy I believe still has 3 of the 9s that he is looking to sell for a very good price.

Does this mean that a new Zillion may be in the mix since prices seem to be dropping on the current model?

Where are these SV103 right handers lurking??? Lefted handed fisherman searching for a right handed reel (as always) here...

Would love to see if they could bring back the original Zillion frame and update it fully...

I would still be fine with the Steez A/Tatula 100 style variant Zillion 100. Same spool would be fine, 7 and 8 gear ratios, something else cool, who knows. I will have 3 generations of Zillions if they release another, I even still enjoy the original Zillion TWS reels for heavier duty applications...

All I wanna know is where were all you SV103 groupies when I was selling mine a few months ago - Had 5 or 5 LH mint with bearing and LW upgrades etc and I had to practically give them away :doh:

If they were RH, I am sure I would have been interested. I love that frame. Aside from the SV103s, I have TDZs in many varieties (103, 105, custom, R, R+, Ito), Air Metal TDX reels, OG Zillions (regular, anniversary, and J-Dream) OG Fuegos, and Megabass IP reels to go with the body style. Then there is the Alphas/SV105/Sol platform that I love. LOL

I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow at some time bring the TD-Z frame back. I mean, this year they are reintroducing the Alphas in a 70 model. That frame has been around since 2004.

Yeah I still have several OG Steez, some TD-Z's, a Personal Order even, but have been picking up some of the newer Steez models. The SV103's were fine reels, but on the heavy side, especially comparing to the 5-6oz Steez's - I also sold a few J-Dreams for the same reason - now those were some fine a$$ reels :). Just an effort to lighten up in general across the board for me is the only reason I sold off most of my big 36mm frames.
