Super User islandbass Posted June 10, 2008 Super User Posted June 10, 2008 Holy smokes, that look baaaad Azzzz! If there is a lower geared version, I'll be over that. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted June 10, 2008 Super User Posted June 10, 2008 Wait til you see the new Steez. Quote
The_Natural Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 You mean the new 7.1:1 Steez... We've been fixated on Shimano's new Curado, but everything seems boring in comparison to what Daiwa throws on the table. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted June 10, 2008 Super User Posted June 10, 2008 That Zillion needs more bling. Looks a little cheap IMO. Quote
The_Natural Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 That Zillion needs more bling. Looks a little cheap IMO. Whatever Burley, you motorboatin' SOB Quote

Super User Raul Posted June 10, 2008 Super User Posted June 10, 2008 Oh man :-/ ........ The VOICES !!!!!!!! Quote
The_Natural Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 That Zillion needs more bling. Looks a little cheap IMO. Whatever Burley, you motorboatin' SOB I was thinking how great it would be to turn the handle once and your bait already be back to the boat ;D. Seriously though, I think a reel with an IPT 32" could really help in your hooksetting power. I think we all crank the handle around the same amount of times before setting the hook, regardless of the reel we are using. No slack my friend...no slack. You don't think that the handle in the reel pictured is more than a little pedestrian? Quote
Super User Gone_Phishin Posted June 10, 2008 Super User Posted June 10, 2008 I'll admit that I like the look of the reel, and I love my TDZ100HLA, and it's a special edition, but the IPT on this SE is 32", that's only .4" more than the current high-speed. Since when does less than half of an inch warrent the name 'Hyper Speed?' I must say that the prospect of the eleven CRBB over the four CRBB and two SS bearings in the current Zillion is very nice. I'm assuming some of those badboys found their way into the handle? I hope so. I'll be ticked if we have to buy a whole new handle if we want to do a bearing upgrade, like on the current domestic models. The news of the Zillion rods is freakin' awesome. I just hope they have a short, 5'10"-6'3", medium powered rod for topwater. Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted June 10, 2008 Super User Posted June 10, 2008 Zillion rods on the way too. Oh Man! Quote
Super User FishTank Posted June 10, 2008 Super User Posted June 10, 2008 Very nice.... Can't wait to see the rods. I like the red Zillion but I hope Daiwa brings the crazy cranker to the US. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted June 11, 2008 Super User Posted June 11, 2008 I just hope they have a short, 5'10"-6'3", medium powered rod for topwater. They will have a Zillion rod like that. TDZL631MFB Medium power Fast taper 6'3" 8-17 lb test and 1/8-5/8 oz lure weight. Quote

TDZL631MFB Medium power Fast taper 6'3" 8-17 lb test and 1/8-5/8 oz lure weight. That's the best news I have heard all day. Looks like you just spent my money Robert. ;D It's a good thing the Calcutta DC doesn't come in a 101, or the pics you posted would have spent A LOT more of my dough. Quote
