Picked this up a few years ago. Just got around to messing with it. Came with 6.8 gears and ZPI bearings. Added tapped driveshaft with clicker kit, new style drag star, Ize factory handle, and Avail knobs.

What driveshaft did you use? I ordered the driveshaft and clicking parts from a millionaire ct sv. The driveshaft isn’t long enough to fit a drag star with a clicker on it. Thanks. The reel looks awesome.
What all clicking parts does the stock CTSV Millionaire have? Or are you using aftermarket?

That is the shizzle supreme. I'm overly O/C about avoiding scratches on my reels. Fishing that thing would stress me out.

If you like those long knob Zillion HD handles then check out the Gomexus handles with the TPE knobs. I have both and the Gomexus is nicer. They have the same length to the knobs with a slightly fatter end on the Gomexus and they are much more tacky and have better wet performance.

How does that spool perform in that platform? I was considering putting that spool in one of mine.

It’s a solid performer IMHO. You can do anything with it ( like a lot of other spools if we are honest) but this one shines in a couple distinct things.
Bomb cast without effort will get you ver good distance and I’m just getting into this reverse lure action and you can pitch it out with tremendous accuracy once you get used to the 1/2 punch of this gem

Obviously on a longer cast it’s more pronounced but on midrange pin point pitches you can see the part 2 payout as well. I like it and i think it makes the top gun rod a great purchase for me cause I’m playing the rods strengths
And that’s it’s versatility

Seems like it would be a good option for this reels brakes. Less restrictive, opening the reel up for better versatility.

My Gekkabijin with a few changes. I added a Steez CT cc cap, SV103 drag star and a 90mm handle with new style, larger knobs. It also has a Ray's deep spool that only weighs. 2 grams more than the stock spool. It's one of two dedicated power finesse reels now. It is spooled with 20# braid and sits on my Abu Fantasista Regista 610MLXF rod.

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Looks good. I need to grab a pair of those larger knobs.

Is that the Ray's spool that you can get with either a fixed/adjustable inductor or an SV-style inductor?

Cheers the reel with the Ray's spool is a nice combo. I have the same... You will enjoy how smooth and well managed the reel performs. I use mine for Jerbait fishing with a Rapala Concept Ti M/F rod, largest bait 127 slender pointer. primarily 110 size baits.

Yes, mine is the SV style.
