2 zillions, 3 spool options. Help me pick
Gentlemen,
I’ve got a Zillion sv tws xxhl and new zillion boost xhl. Both have stock spools, but I’ve also got a TDZ type-r spool I can drop in. My dilemma is this: the older xxhl is paired with a gen 1 MB Orochi xx emtf and the newer xhl is on a gen 2 Orochi xx perfect pitch and I need help deciding what my spool configurations should be. On the Emtf, I throw senkos, ikas, and finesse jigs with fluoro . The PP will be one spool for pitching jigs on fluoro and one spool for braid and frogging. What should I do?

The TDZ spool will only fit in the new Zillion SV TW1000.
The Type-R spool is extremely fast. Not sure how the magnets would make it perform in the TW1000. It can be a great pitching spool and distance caster with aerodynamic baits.
I'd go boost with flouro for versatility and Type-R for bombing a frog. If you like to skip a frog, you may be in trouble with the Type-R.

What I would do is get a Morethan PE 1000 spool and try not to smile when you cast it.. that is if i am correct and that spool fits your platform.. I know it fits in my steez / IS /SV103XS platforms and I love it so much that I finally found anothervncnt wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 8:27 pmGentlemen,

I too use the dual or even triple spool approach with the PP. HLC for #50 braid/frogs, stock spool with #40 braid for skipping and pitching and then a Ray's spool for 16# flouro and pitching.vncnt wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 8:27 pmGentlemen,

I would use the Boost spool with braid and frogs and then the Type R+ as a pitching spool.
You may have to do a role reversal depending on how the R+ behaves. They can be too fast for pitching in some reels but behave themselves when cast. My R+ was that way in my TD-S 105HL. I could lob cast it fine but as soon as that inductor seated on a pitch the spool would overrun. While it might fare better with frogs, big frogs and capacity are going to be a concern. Just don't swing for the fences every cast and you'll be fine.

Thanks for the input. So many options with aftermarket spools. This is almost as much fun as fishing…
