Spool options for IP68
Spool options for IP68
The stock spool in the IP68 is not giving me the distance I would like. Looking for a " long bomb" spool for 6xd, 8xd etc.
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

Re: Spool options for IP68
100M or HLC would be good starting points

Re: Spool options for IP68
Which HLC spool is better? Dimpled spool or i'ze with holes in it?

Re: Spool options for IP68
I've read on here that the stock dimpled spool is a little more "wild" than the I'ze spool. I have the stock HLC spool but haven't had a chance to throw it yet. Hopefully someone who has thrown both will chime in.chrisg_sdcf wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 6:59 amWhich HLC spool is better? Dimpled spool or i'ze with holes in it?
The stock HLC spool weighs 15.3 grams with bearing if anyone is interested.

Re: Spool options for IP68
I have a dimpled Zillion HLC in my TDZ M paired with a laminglas 7'4" rod and I'm using fluorocarbon. 14lb and I can put any trap or crank in orbit no wildness or anything. IN fact I can literally cast with all my might and just hold the rod and no back lash

Zillion G1 1016SV
Steez G1 1012SV
Steez limited 105
I'm sure someone can chime in with some awesome spring and inductor mods. The Tdz Type R spool comes to mind.

Re: Spool options for IP68
I thought the IP spool was supposed to be awesome. Are the magnets in the IP extra strong?

Re: Spool options for IP68
The IP68 is based off the OG Zillion frame and would need spacers to run these spools. Just a heads upHogsticker2 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:22 pmZillion G1 1016SV

Re: Spool options for IP68
My bad. I thought I read IS, not IP.
Re: Spool options for IP68
It's a good spool, just not a long caster, at least for me.IlliniDawg01 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:32 pmI thought the IP spool was supposed to be awesome. Are the magnets in the IP extra strong?
Re: Spool options for IP68

Re: Spool options for IP68
The stock IP spool is identical to a J-Dream spool but the magnets in the IP reels are stronger than in a Zillion, that's why you're feeling like it's really choked off.TommyG wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 3:48 amIt's a good spool, just not a long caster, at least for me.IlliniDawg01 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:32 pmI thought the IP spool was supposed to be awesome.

Re: Spool options for IP68
Yup, choked off for sure. It' s been on the shelf for a quite a while, time to get some use out of it. I hope a different spool will wake it up a bit.adam lancia wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 4:10 amThe stock IP spool is identical to a J-Dream spool but the magnets in the IP reels are stronger than in a Zillion, that's why you're feeling like it's really choked off.TommyG wrote: ↑Fri Apr 10, 2020 3:48 amIt's a good spool, just not a long caster, at least for me.IlliniDawg01 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 8:32 pmI thought the IP spool was supposed to be awesome.
