I want blow out prices on these and I want them now. I need a higher capacity reel for 1 oz baits, flutter spoons and the like for my Hyuga 72H. Already spooling a TD Zilion HLC and 1016 spools with the rod of 50# and 6# braid with just under an ounce. Need that capacity but I'm not spending $400 for one. Not $350 for one when the Morethan is $365 on Ebay and it's a friggin Steez. Aluminum frame and side plate bronze gear 8.6:1 Betterthan Steez. Reality check time Zillion TW HD. You're an awesome version of the old Tatula from 2014. You should be $200.

NOT a Good Reel For 5 oz lures?

I want one to throw 1/2 oz to 3 1/2 oz baits.

[Armatso]

5 oz Will damage the Reel With swimbaits?

I use mine for the Storm Arashi, no problems so far.

The Arashi is 3.5 oz. I think for 5 oz. you would be better served with a larger reel, Tranx, Lexa, etc.

It's a matter of line capacity. Typically, larger, heavier lures are fished on 20 - 30 lb nylon monofilament. Some people choose fluoro. Either way, those lines are thick in diameter so you need a larger capacity reel to hold enough line to make your cast. You don't want to spool your reel on every cast. That's just inviting disaster. You can mitigate this a bit by using braid as your main line and then connecting a leader of heavy mono or flouro - or if the fish are not line shy where you're fishing, just go with straight braid. It's just a matter of how much line you can get on the reel to serve the purpose at hand.

I throw big baits up to 4 or 5 ounces on 100 - 200 size reels, but only if I'm going with a braid and mono leader. If I'm going straight mono, I'm using my Daiwa/Deps DR-Z2020XHL, Ryoga 1520L, Abu Garcia Revo4 Beast, Abu Garcia Revo4 Beast Rocket, Pluton, Shrapnel, etc.. Although right now, my DR-Z2020XHL and Ryoga 1520L are spooled with hollow braid and a topshot of mono and my Revo4 Beast and Beast Rockets are spooled with straight braid.

So snagged one of these reels on an ALF sale. I like it a lot for steelhead and small salmon baits. I have tinkered with it to see how it responds with a few different spools, including the 1520 Ryoga Magforce Z spool, to which for inline spinners and mono, like the stock fixed inductor spool best (I think the Ryoga spool will be better for spoons...). I measured out my casts and tuning the brakes to the no. 5 spinners I intend to use primarily, I can consistently achieve 147’ casts (some wind, too) with 12lb Sufix Advance on a 9’ SC LE steelhead rod (MH 8-17lb). The spinner is 1/2oz built and even has a silicone bass skirt that catches even more wind than a traditional torpedo body spinner.

It’s super smooth, way smoother than my basic tats, smoother than my Elite Longcast, too. I’d buy loads of ‘me at $200, too, but I think they really are a better reel than that. I plan to own more, but not at MSRP, either... I do think they are a bit of a niche reel.

That casting distance sounds poor. The last time I tested my old Tatula Type R with the Ray's Long Cast spool I was getting 148ft with a 72M Zodias and a 3/8 oz mini mop jig with no trailer. Line was a 12 or 16 # fluorocarbon. I considered that distance good but not bindblowing. The stock fixed inductor sounds like it would be better lobbing big baits.
