mike bat Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 ok so i just baught a new st croix legened tourney bass frog rod ... for this rod i baught a shimano cu 201 burner reel .... but i also baught a zillion burner .... after tryin bolth reels on that stick ,, the zillion is like a match in heaven .... i think the cu is just too big and bulky .... ok so heres the queston ,,, does the zillion have the drag to be a froggin reel ????? i havent had a chanch to fish my zillon yet as the lakes are froze solid here in the north woods ..... so any one who is fishin a zillion please give me a report on the drag ...

lubina Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 I have the same idea and I think it is the ideal reel for a dedicated frog set. I just got it 2 weeks ago and it went straight to my frog rod, Custom Rogue 706 H. I haven't fish with it yet but it cast very, very smooth. The drag is rated at 11 lbs, heavier that my former frog reel, TD-Z 105H but I never have a complain with that one's drag anyway. It will be getting Carbontex drag washers in his first trip to Reelmech. Good luck with your Zillion, I can wait to use mine but my lakes are frozen too. :'( Quote
mike bat Posted February 12, 2007 Author Posted February 12, 2007 hey lubina thanks for the imput ..... im almost sure ill be returning my cu for another zillion ..... see i want one for a med hev premiere ,, and now one on my frogg rod .... i should have just baught 2 zillions on the first trip ... ohh well ... ok does anyone know what the line guid is made of in the zillion ????? and would the zillion have any troubles running braid ????? last ???? sorry ;D Quote
Super User FishTank Posted February 13, 2007 Super User Posted February 13, 2007 I went to BPS today and purchased a Zillion burner and Loomis MBR844C for frogs and heavy coverage. I loaded the Zillion with 50lb PowerPro. I hope it was a good choice but the water is still frozen in my part of the world. Can't wait until spring. Quote

I have the same set up but my MBR844C was custom made so a few things different. But your going to love it. Down here in Florida I have fished with the frog and it feels great and plenty of drag on the reel. You have made a perfect choice. Quote
