Zillion TW HD ‘22
Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
In Z2020 is strong points; It's big and strong and long casting and very strong power retrieve. I use mine for seatrout when using braided line and I want cast far. It's casts near to OG HLC Zillion but Z2020 is not hard to cast at all. But in a freezing conditions Z2020 is amazing cold

Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
Anyone using this reel for skipping and have feedback good/bad?
Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
3oz swimbait seems heavy for a reel this size, but I guess metal is metal when used correctly. Concerning the Z2020, just how big were the gears? I have read tons of reviews and seen pictures, but never a direct comparison. Would be so happy to own one eventually. The 1516-1520 Zillions are pretty tough reels, even the non HD version, the new version just seems so small for heavier duties.

Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
Thanks for confirming the baggie. I’m a shimano guy and got a little concerned I might have gotten a reel that had been returned.
I have it on my destroyer javelin for now - the combo looks sick. I will be using it for mid to deep cranking and small paddletails like Keitech 4.8.
It doesn’t seem like the freespool is great but I know it’s designed for heavier lures/applications. Very curious to see how it casts. It will be another 2 months or so until I have ice out here.

Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
I was a bit, a tiny bit but a bit nonetheless, hesitant because of the heavier bait parameter. I’ve become quite a fan of the OSP Blitz DR crankbait which weighs in at 11g, about 3/8 oz or so. It took one cast to allay my fears and each cast thereafter supported my choice.jerkbait22 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 05, 2022 4:45 amThanks for confirming the baggie.

Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
any one know the line capacity for US lines
Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
Gonna stick my neck out and same as other 34mm Magforce Z spools. Basically identical to what you find in a Tatula 100/CT spool. The JDM specs for the Tatula have been same capacity as this new Zillion. Basically a black Zillion with a Magforce Z spool. Not sure on the braking profile yet. It's a boost spool but that doesn't automatically mean it's an HLC.
Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
Even the 16/100 japanese rating seems generous considering how shallow the spool appears

Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
Has anyone tested the low end castability of this reel yet?
Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
Straight up looks like an 8/100 spool like the regular zillion. Maybe the US version will get a deeper spool.
Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
This looks deeper than the slp1010, which is like 10lb-100m? This might be something like 12lb-100m.
Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
What is the difference between SV BOOST (Zillion SV TW G) and MAGFORCE Z (the new 2022 Zillion HD 1000)? They both have a "two step brake system".
Re: Zillion TW HD ‘22
Part of the difference is in the SV-twist versus Z-non-twist:

Possibly also difference in spring stiffness, inductor size etc.
