Does anyone have one of these yet?? If so, pics or a little insight would be great I've been itching to hear about this reel but can't find a lot on it at the moment.

Welcome to the forum.  Will you be able to test the reel when it comes in?

Tackle Warehouse has them in stock right now. They used the OG Zillion frame to make this "new" reel, minus the clicky cast control cap. The spool is the same size as the Steez SV spool, though, so no swapping it into an old Zillion.;(  On the upside, any of the Steez and TD-Z spools should drop right in.

I would have no reservations about picking one of these up. I'm just holding out to see if the new Zillion SV TW is indeed a smaller platform than the Zillion TWS. It sounds good so far and it should be a killer reel. I'll wait till someone gets there hands on one before I make my decision.

Can anyone provide some insight yet???

im interested in these as well. nearly ordered one but would like to find at least a couple reviews first.    would this make a good all around reel or is it designed strictly for throwing mostly lighter stuff?

I've had this reel for 2 or 3 seasons now...  Let me tell you, it's everything they say.  I get an occasional backlash, but it's never bad, and user error.  I can throw 1/16 oz lures,  but it really shines between 1/8 and 5/16.  I've paired it with Zodias M 6'10" for rivers and creeks and it works like a dream.   The drag is strong, my one complaint would be on the drag tho.  It needs finer increments cuz the way I feel it, it's either a tad too loose or a tad too strong. Hard to dial that in, but that said I layed into a monster flathead with my drag nearly maxed and he was bulldogging me and the drag was pulling so smoothly.   I would suggest getting one ASAP as they've decided to stop producing them for some reason.

I can confirm this! Sturdy, smooth reel that can also withstand a beating!

Do you have the default spool or did you replace it? What line are you using on the reel when you are throwing light lures? 

Thanks!
