Have one, its my favorite "large" reel, and i dunno, maybe mine has worn gears (bought it used a while back), but its nowhere near as smooth as my 11bb alphas ito with alphas air gears for example. I don't feel anything with my alphas, but i do feel all the internals of the Z when under load.

Alphas SV 105, smooth when retrieve and smooth when cast. Alphas SV TW, very smooth when retrieve even when loaded with 6lb bass but noisy when cast. 2021 Zillion is smooth but not quite like alphas SV TW.

Alphas SV 105.
Though the Tatula Elite has grown on me. Is Tatula still a bad word here?

Surprised by the amount of Alphas SV votes. This is the 7.2:1 gear set that i have inside my pixy, and its glassy like not many Daiwa's i've held prior. Even tho the gears look the same as the ones that came on other OG alphas reels, pixy spr, pixy type r, the one from the alphas sv must've been cut differently because its much smoother than the others that i've tested.

Hard to believe but my T3. Something about that round smooth gear pinion bearing shaft. Idk what it is but it feels smoother than my steez and IP
