I was thinking about getting a ZELOS handle for my Zillion 1000, liked the look. I checked the price. [-( .

Didn't ZPI stopped making reel components and went full Made In China? Or are they slowly returning because nobody was buying their overpriced Chinese reels and rods :laugh1:

That’s what I thought, no more components. They’re making lubricants and grease, they work pretty well. I think the marketing strategy for ZPI was starting with the low end and work there way up the ladder but what do I know.

Yes. I find them at JPY 13.200 without knobs and 18.700 with knobs… too much for my wallet. Handles do like nice though. Made in Japan if that matters…
