Steez A vs Zillion tw vs Morethan PE 1000 tws

[goldrod]

Anyone have all three?
I wanted to know how smooth the Morethan was and is it the better buy since the USDM zillion has a brass gear and not made in Japan and the JDM version has a aluminum gear ? I’m interested in casting comparisons as well ?

Personally I’m looking for a new frogging reel and was looking at the zillion but the later I stay up the more ideas start to sizzle in my brain pan.

The Morethan in 7:1:1 seems like it’s more interesting to me but that’s just me, anyone compare it to the Steez A tws reels?

The bronze gear 8.6:1 more than is supposed to be the smoothest thing out there. The 7:1 is aluminum and considered less smooth to equally smooth compared to the new Zillion with aluminum gears depending on who you talk to.

I have the jdm zillion in 6.3, a steez tw (not a) in 6.3 and 7.1. The new zillion, under load, is the smoothest reel I've used. Probably makes no difference in smoothness, but i do have my zillion upgrades to 12 ball bearings.

I have a jdm 8.1 Steez A, morethan 8.4, and jdm zillion 7. I use the Morethan for frogging. Got any specific questions just let me know

I have the brass gear 8 spped Morethan, steez a and the new Zillions

I see no real benefit to get the 7 speed morethan, unless you like the colors.

when i can i typically will opt for a brass gear

I haven't fished the morethan in a little bit but don't remember it being any smoother than the zillion

here lately i am really digging the new zillion, i am building a new frog rod now and it will run a zillion
