It's a little line cap challenged being a standard 34mm narrow spool and shallow too unless it just looks shallower than other 34mm spools. Its rated at the same 16/110 as other 34mm spools so it probably isn't any shallower. I also dont believe Daiwa's rated line cap is even remotely accurate. I'll make a 150 foot cast with a frog and casts all the supposedly 300 feet of line off. I'll end up with an empty spool and a frog 150 feet away. Some of that is extra dispensed line getting caught in the wind and consumed by the bait and trajectory but a whole cast length's worth of line?Johnny A wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 5:35 amhttps://youtu.be/wlJxRmLHSfQ

It should be a good spool for braid and compact heavy baits though. Only one cast in that vid is a real bomb cast and he does get some good flight time on whatever he is throwing so it looks capable. The rest of them are lobbing baits the whole video. The same guy in the boat that does the bomb cast with the wind casts into it 1st with an interesting casting stroke to keep the bait out of the wind. I haven't seen that before. I lot of these Japanese vids have interesting casting strokes that are very different from what is typical in the US.

Nice! If it's made in Japan, it's mine.

Interesting. It looks like a full aluminum Zillion. I have a Zillion on a Expride 7'7 H that I have been using for Mag Drafts and A-Rigs. I might need to pick one of these up.

The regular silver zillion is the same as this one with aluminum frame, side plate and set plate. This one is black.HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 6:34 amInteresting.

The way I see it who really cares you can never have enough talk about anything on here quite honestly
I'm a big fan of the zillion HD so I'm very very excited to hear all the news and opinions once these specimen start getting into people's hands
Just doing my usual ballbusting

Re: “ZILLION TW HD 1000 Debut! ”
The side plate that comes off the Zillion is plastic/composite. I was thinking that this would be full aluminum like the Steez A. It also looks like it has a 100 mm power handle.LowRange wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 7:05 amThe regular silver zillion is the same as this one with aluminum frame, side plate and set plate.

Re: “ZILLION TW HD 1000 Debut! ”
The handle side plate on both Zillions is aluminum as is the set plate. The top plate on the silver Zillion is plastic. I'm assuming this black one has a plastic top plate as well. This is a black Zillion with some nicer trim on it and the big handle from the last Zillion HD. Definitely would be the new Zillion I would get. I dont like silver reels.HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 8:44 amThe side plate that comes off the Zillion is plastic/composite. I was thinking that this would be full aluminum like the Steez A.

The side plates on mine feel pretty plasticy. I'll need to check when I get home from work.LowRange wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 8:56 amThe handle side plate on both Zillions is aluminum as is the set plate.

Re: “ZILLION TW HD 1000 Debut! ”
The non handle side plate is plastic with an aluminum set plate inside. Its the part that houses the magnets and locks into the frame. It's the only structural portion of the non handle side plate. Some low pros do have aluminum non handle side plates though. I have 3 Doyos like this but I think they did this so they could use an anodized finish on the reels.HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 9:04 amThe side plates on mine feel pretty plasticy.

That's why I was wondering if the new Zillion HD is all aluminum like the Steez A.LowRange wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 9:10 amThe non handle side plate is plastic with an aluminum set plate inside.

Re: “ZILLION TW HD 1000 Debut! ”
Even the Steez A has a plastic non handle side plate with a metal side plate. I don't know of any low pro Daiwas that make use of an aluminum non handle side plate and set plate. They sometimes call the set plate a side plate. Daiwa US probably has or listed that way because they are retarded. Dawia japan states that it is an aluminum set plate and their super hyper hyper armed aluminum hyper housing pic shows an aluminim frame and handle side plate.HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 9:22 amThat's why I was wondering if the new Zillion HD is all aluminum like the Steez A.LowRange wrote: ↑Mon Nov 08, 2021 9:10 amThe non handle side plate is plastic with an aluminum set plate inside.

Daiwa US had Magforce Z operation description backwards for years and someone on another site was arguing with me on how it works saying that the inductor extends only at the end of the cast because that's what Daiwa's (US) site says. Later they changed their description to match my explanation of how it works after he reached out to them in an email. They just copied my post and stuck it on the site. I'll have to check to see if it is still that way. Anyhoo don't listen to Daiwa US website about anything.
