Another over 5 pounder today with the Zillion. This reel is solid!Johnny A wrote: ↑Tue Mar 09, 2021 10:20 amIf you are considering this reel, RUN, do not walk!
Casting is smooth.
Drag is smooth.
Retrieve is smooth.
Picked up an 8.5 largemouth this morning, not at hiccup! (pic in show and tell)
I’m impressed!
Retrieve under load is excellent.
Drag is reliable.
Excellent casting.
Major backlash reduction, almost to zero.

I think the mods prefer we only link site sponsors when a given product is available through them. Things they don't carry are fair game.
Ok, got it. Next time I will not post any links.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Looks like there’s a SLP limited version coming out with a carbon handle and 9 gear ratio. It’s also matte black.

Of course they did. I just ordered another XH for pitchin’. I figured to prefer the new casting features > higher retrieve ratio.HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 7:50 amLooks like there’s a SLP limited version coming out with a carbon handle and 9 gear ratio. It’s also matte black.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I saw that it didn’t have the boost spool. I think I might put up a couple of Met XGs that I have and buy a couple of these for flipping grass.Johnny A wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 8:03 amOf course they did.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I picked up a Zillion 10 and liked it so much I bought 2 more. Bought a Zillion 1000 XH for med and deep cranks, just ordered another as previously mentioned for pitchin’. The new boost spool is remarkable. I had two incidents that I was thinking about something else besides paying attention to my cast, no backlash, whatsoever.HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 8:15 amI saw that it didn’t have the boost spool.

I’m sold and truth be told, they really aren’t that expensive considering the aggravation they prevent.
Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
That SLP doesn’t even really look like the regular zillion at all. The dial adjustment is back to being top facing instead of bottom facing.
I learned a tough lesson yesterday I figured y’all would want to be aware of.
The frame on these zillions is a bit on the soft side and scratches fairly easy. I found this out yesterday fishing pretty much all day. During one of my boat rides, one of my zillions got turned sideways and the frame was against another reel for the ride. It’s now got some pretty deep gouges in it. Running my fingernail along the scratches you can feel the softness in the frame.
So be careful if you’re trying to keep these reels looking new.

It looks to have different side plates and the same top. Almost looks like a Steez A and Zillion had a baby.CFDoc wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 10:00 amThat SLP doesn’t even really look like the regular zillion at all. The dial adjustment is back to being top facing instead of bottom facing.

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
They must be trying to clear out the old frames by giving it a cool paint job and handle. I'm glad I didn't order any.4g63power wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 2:08 pmIt's based off of Zillion 10HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Sat Mar 27, 2021 11:52 amIt looks to have different side plates and the same top.
