hey guys, i got back today trying out some daiwa baitcasters and I'm just wondering.
I played around with the 'legendary' daiwa type r and its smooth and all but upon retrieving everything was OK except for the handle which seems to wobble abit while making a clinkity-clankety sound - weird
went over and tried the J-dream and this piece of metal just sings seamlessly, smooth on the retrieve, and no dramas.
The guy here says the handle play is a common design flaw in most daiwa bc reels, seriously? Any zillion type-r owners here? pretty disappointed with wot i found in the type-r, even the abu garcia elite ib was alot smoother and no handle-play at all.
What do you guys think?
Zillion TYpe R - USDM
Only features more BB and carbon handle compare to the normal zillion. Lighter weight andyesmm the cranking feels weird, notsolid feeling when handle being spun.
J-Dream - JDM
Solid feel, smooth! worth every penny spent. Unique ultralight weight duralumin spool only made for this model.
Zillion is a very multi capable work horse reel.
J-Dream . PE Special . HLC are among those worth keeping in your collection.
Limited Editions like the 50th Anniversary or the TD Zillion 7,3 100 also worth keeping.
Only some minor differences bwtn all the Zillions above,.. some comes with CRBB and some dont. Handles are different but mostly the spool set them apart.
