Zillion sv TW 1000

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

What's the SV Boost?
2 stage induction rotor. The new Steez SV TW LTD has it as well.
Interesting! Is there any information of this 2 Stage inductor available?
Just what's on the website (jdm). It's supposed to increase flight distance. 2 stages, at low revs, only one stage is operational. As it speeds up, the 2nd stage opens, and then towards the end of the cast as it slows down, the 2nd stage disengages. Something to that effect anyways.

I wonder if it is just fancy speak for "we put in a stiffer spring"

If you look at the picture of the spool, the inductor rotor looks to be a different design. Which makes me wonder if we can use other 34mm spools with it or not.

Daiwa using the word "Hyper" so much in the description makes me think that this thing might have ADHD!
Or maybe they really were feeling some German electronic music nostalgia in their brainstorming sessions :lol:


I like the reel, as they went for the design details I was leaning over to Shimano.
You may be right! :lol:

With a listed capacity of 90 yards of 14 pound I think this 34mm is gonna be narrower than the Steez/zillion spools of the past.

I'm still thinking it's more in line with the size of a Steez CT with a larger diameter spool, hence the 1000 instead of 700.

Spool looks narrower than in former sv Zillion.

Yes, they say it's two stages brake. I'm keen for seeing how they have made that!

The only way this dual stage SV Air Brake makes sense is if they change the spring to a non linear spring. Which is actually an excellent idea. A spring that is soft initially to get controll at low spool speeds for skipping ect but then becomes a stiffer spring the more it is compressed. I'm guessing it is a normal Air Brake but with a dual rate spring. I'm going to have to play with this on my SS SV spool.

Dual rate spring sounds good.

And in my opinion new line of progressive springs would sound better!

6.18 ounces sure is light for a Zillion. Cars, reels, and almost everything has gone to the sleeker beveled edge look. This was kind of expected. I think the spool is the most intriguing. Daiwa using the word "Hyper" so much in the description makes me think that this thing might have ADHD!
The weight, or lack of, caught my eye too. The first thing I thought of was not wearing my wrist out with larger walking topwater baits, and larger jerkbaits.

Really wish they would come up /w some different knobs. It's the same knobs they've been using for 4 years now.

I still love that old platform yet I only have my IP68. Definitely going to be adding another. I already have 3 36mm spools for my one 36mm Zillion. Nothing will ever replace the original.

Gotta be the spring or the SV ramp has a shallow to steep angle transition now.
