Zillion Gillion!!!! Bufilion!!!! I bought a brand new Zillion last year, used it for about 2 hours, and threw it down and picked up my Curado.
I MUCH prefer my Curado over the Zillion ANY DAY OF THE WEEK!!!! Just my opinion. Terry J Jertberg

Terry the CU200E7's are fine also! I have been using zillions since they came out and to me they are much smoother, faster, and now they are lighter with almost twice as much drag. I bought a righty and lefty as soon as they came out and they are fantastic!! Personal preference I guess. |

I always used zillion, in my last trip I tryed the new curado E7.... and I love it!!
But IMHO the new curado E7 used in big propellers-fishing has less durability than the zillion |

I always used Zillion. I like it.
Curado is very good, but it is more slow. I'd like try a new Zillion in next season. Here no woodpecker. Here is sequoia.

Terry I used the curado (CU200E7) all last year also and really like it; it's a great reel. I just prefer the high speed zillions because they are faster, smoother, have more line capacity, and are a more durable reel in my opinion. I use 80 lb and 65 lb power pro on the zillions and have plenty of line capacity. The Revo SX-HS is also a good reel but the swept-handle is alittle small. If you use it with 65 lb braided line it has enough capacity but if you use 80 lb I don't believe there is enough capacity. It has less than the curado and the zillions. It will be interesting what new products Shimano and others will introduce at the ICAST show this year. Also http://www.japantackle.com always has interesting new reel options.

I also felt in love with this new Type R new Zillion!!! Although, Curado 200 E7 is the most relyable reel for trophy peacokcs in my humble opinion...

Olha Lance,comprei a TYPE R NEW ZILLION por tua recomendação,testei ela com hélices ,arremessa demais,o recolhimento é ótimo .
Para testar o drag : Vara Fenwick 25 libras HMX,linha power pró 65 libras ,snap capella G reforçado,isca bomber high talkie high pitch,garatéia VMC 4x numero 1,enrrosquei uma garatéia no pau de uma cêrca,arroxei o drag até o fim e briguei com a cêrca,olha o drag é ótimo,quase arranquei a cêrca . Mais tarde arremessando isca com o mesmo conjunto,a linha travou no carretél e a isca soltou,arrebentou a linha no nó que eu tinha forçado . Agora só falta testar com os açus ,se a carretilha quebrar,vou dizer foi aquele americano que me indicou . Só não sei ainda se vai dar para pescar com o drag todo fechado , um abraço. TUCUNARÉ AÇU = PAIXÃO
