Just wondering what rod you guys like to use this reel with? I tried it on a Zillion rod last night and wasn't too thrilled with how it fit in my hands.

i think the reel is at home on a Lowrider and the Compre. i did not like the Mojo/Zillion combo.

I got 1 on a zillion, used to be on my st.Croix LTB jig and worm rod and now I got 2 type R's on my steez rods. ( frog rod and 1 on my jig rod. )

Personally, I love the way my Zillion reel fits on my Zillion rod.

My other Zillion feels at home on my Dobyns 704c, but doesn't feel quite as good to me as my Zillion/Zillion combo.

I have two Daiwa Iaconelli rods with zillions on them. the 7'2h with the 50th and 7'8m with the crazy cranker. I am also using a S-Series 7'mh cranking rod on a crazy cranker. I live in Kansas and just picked up my first Dobyn's and fell in love though. Now I have to figure out how I am going to justify 3 rods that will cost me over $800 when I am barely touching $350 with what I have now.

Before The_Natural's demise, he said that the Zillion rods were every bit as sensitive as the Steez models.

I would like to try one, it's just not on the top of my list at the moment.

I have a 7.1:1 on a Kistler LTA 5'9" MH.  I primarily use this for large topwater baits, with some jerkbaits and spinnerbaits thrown in as well.

I also have a Type R on a Steez 7'1" Compile-X.  This is for jigs, skirted grubs, and big worms.

Had my 50th on a 7' MH Airrus Ultra. Thought I was doing pretty good throwing 3/8-1/2 oz. lures. Got to try it one afternoon on a Zillion Flip and Pitch before lakes got covered with ice. Really hums a 3/4 oz. spinnerbait out there. I will have to pay more attention to how well it fits my hand.

I really like this reel so even if it doesn't fit me the best on certain rods, I will continue to use it on whichever rod I feel can make the best use of it. Fit be dam*ed! :)

My Zillion use to pull frog duty on Daiwa Light and Tough rod, which I have since sold, but now rides on my St. Croix Avid as a lipless crankbait burner.  Like the way it sits on it, great reel.
