Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's
My trashzillion. Stole the SV spool, short crank shaft, spool tension knob , knobs with handle and drag star off it. Put a tatula crank shaft, fuego CT handle, plastic short arm star and a T3 MX spool. My Amo spools work with it too which is nice. All in for $100 on the reel and took probably $80+ worth of parts off it. Maybe got $40 in this reel net as seen. Tempted to steal the thumb bar and gold twing off it too. Paint on these "zillions" is really poor too. Scratches very easily and has bubbling and peeling issues. The reel is about as smooth as my Type R tat but slightly noiser to what I assume is the zaion side plate.
Put the short crank shaft and bolt on this guy

My newest reel. Always wanted one of these. Got this guy to replace a Zonda Rosso with MB BFS spool. I can sell that one and come out ahead financially and still have a reel I can fish. Been to terrified of the Zonda to fish it more than a few outings. These TD-Z Itos seem to weather a bit better to actual use. Just got to ditch the ZPI spool for a BFS one and I'm set. Rod is a solid tip UL Jackson Super Trickster.

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's
That is a good looking TD Zillion. How close is the paint to the color of the SV103? I've got a few 7.1 TD Zillions left in the rotation. I will sometimes put my 100M spool in them.

You get that painted locally?Fishing4Fun wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 11:20 amThanks! It just a hair lighter. The painted reel is on top and the bottom is the SV103. Both have subtle flake

No, it is an OG Calfish paint from back in the day
Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's
Thanks for the pics. I like both colors. The SV103 looks really dark until you get them in the sun. The three that I have look good when they are on the deck of my boat. I wish that I had a few in 7.1 ratio.Fishing4Fun wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 11:20 amThanks! It just a hair lighter. The painted reel is on top and the bottom is the SV103. Both have subtle flake

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's
My plastic door stop carbon wedge project. I hit the Zaion star and knobs with a wet scotch brite pad to give them a satin finish to match the reel and threw on a junk carbon handle to snap the pic. It will be getting a carbon fiber handle with red knob posts, a red lock plate and gunmetal nut. Spool is from a Zillion TW SV. Rod is a sub $200 M+ solid tip stick that seems like it could be a poor man's version of that solid tip $700 Steez Racing Design MH. This Jackall M+ is really close to a true MH.

Re: Lets see all them Daiwa's
2 things on that T3.
Can I remove that purple plate or is that functional in some capacity?
I want the BPM on the lock nut to line up and be centered when the nut is tightened against the reel foot. What is the best way to shim this?
