Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Don't think i ever got any confirmations on this. Has anyone tried to use the Zillion1000 gear set inside their steez tw? I really want to try these gears in a steez this coming season.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
The Alphas SV TW, newest Zillion and Steez CT all share the same gear set size. Not sure on the Steez SV TW.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Is the new Zillion smoother than the Steez SV TW?

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
That would be a tall order. The Steez SV TW is probably among top 3 smoothest reels I've ever used.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
To me it’s probably near same, but the new zillion 1000 seems to give a more buttery lack of reverb because it’s aluminium. When I have them both out fishing at the same time, I’ve never caught myself noticing a difference when my mind is on the fish.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I own three Steez SV TW reels (all three ratios) and the new Zillion is smoother. My recollection is that the Zillion was smoother "out of the box" by a tad.
But all of my reels (purchased new or used) are disassembled, parts cleaned appropriately, appropriate parts polished, tuned, and re-greased/oiled with better lubricants than stock. After that, all the reels are smoother than "stock", cast easier with less effort, etc. At that point, the new Zillion is still slightly more smooth than the Steez SV TW.
Both are in my top three favorites (with the new Alphas SV TW 800) of the 'new' generation. Cannot go wrong with either the new Zillion or Steez SV TW. Both are on every fishing trip with me.
Regards,
Doc

Ah that sucks Really wanted them for the steez tw.hoohoorjoo wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 6:38 amThe Alphas SV TW, newest Zillion and Steez CT all share the same gear set size. Not sure on the Steez SV TW.
On a side note, does anyone knows if the new zillion is able to support 2 bearings on the worm gear? When fully upgraded with BB, can it get to 12 like the steez tw or does it max out at 11 like most daiwa reels?
Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Yes, it does support two bearings on the worm gear. I have made that upgrade on both of mine.
OBW, the new Alphas SV TW 800 also supports two worm gear bearings.
