Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Has anyone put silver metallic cork knobs on one? I ordered a couple since I despise the stock knobs they come with.

I think most everyone took that route, along with the silver SLP Zaion drag star.HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 8:30 amHas anyone put silver metallic cork knobs on one? I ordered a couple since I despise the stock knobs they come with.

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I have Megabass Hypercork knobs on my other Zillions, but they’re sold out everywhere. The silver knobs were $5 more so I ordered a couple.Hogsticker2 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 2:14 pmI think most everyone took that route, along with the silver SLP Zaion drag star.HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 8:30 amHas anyone put silver metallic cork knobs on one?

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I think a metal silver drag star, proper lock plate and cork puree knobs would look nice.

Had a pair on my Ryoga1016. They're very easy to scratch and their texture ain't too great (slippery).HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 8:30 amHas anyone put silver metallic cork knobs on one? I ordered a couple since I despise the stock knobs they come with.
Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Yep, that is/was kind of the 'standard' for the new Zillion, which I did for one.Hogsticker2 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 2:14 pmI think most everyone took that route, along with the silver SLP Zaion drag star.HobeyBaker wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 8:30 amHas anyone put silver metallic cork knobs on one?

And here is a different "take".

Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I’m late to the party, finally pulled a trigger on a jdm version. Now where can I find a bronze gear set?

Rando,
Since we’re still awhile away from common availability I’d guess we’re still several months away from being able to purchase brass gears.

So I'm new to fishing and recently picked up this zillion I love it, I was curious how did you go by upgrading your handles etc if someone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it
Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Yeah I would just fish your stock aluminum gears hard and not worry about the upgrade until you need it. Won't hurt anything else to do this. I am sure you meant brass, but there are a few Daiwa's that use bronze, like the Steez A based Morethan SV, but only in the 8.6 ratio. I hope TackleTrap gets the new Zillion handle in stock before long, I really enjoy both the smaller JDM version of those knobs and the USDM larger version also.
Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
Bronze gears? First time i hear of this. What's the advantages and disadvantages vs brass?

You are right, I should not preemptively expect the Al gears to fail.
Re: Zillion sv TW 1000
I have the same mindset as you do though, I ordered the 7.1 JDM Zillion because I figured the 8.5 and aluminum would be highest risk of failure, if I get a second Zillion in the 8.5 it will for sure be the USDM. I really just want to see if I can feel a difference or not. This reel will be hard pressed to get any more smooth. Even with my Steez A fully repaired now I really feel the new Zillion tops it.rando wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 4:32 amYes, I meant brass.DirtyD64 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 13, 2022 3:28 amYeah I would just fish your stock aluminum gears hard and not worry about the upgrade until you need it.
