allows an angler to do just about everything
on the water from topwater to lipless cranks,
jerkbaits in average temperatures, and even
most bottom bouncing retrieves. The 7.3:1
Zillion TWS is the reel for techniques like
Flippin’ and Punchin’ throwing frogs and fishing
deep jigs where you need to gather line quickly
and catch up to fish that are moving fast after
a bite. The latest 9.1:1 retrieve is blazing fast,
and one can only imagine what an angler could
do with that kind of speed.
Instead of a standard pawl gear and eyelet
design at the front to the reel, Daiwa’s T-Wing
actually flips forward when disengaged giving
a wider port for the line to pass through during
the cast. This reduced friction creates a reel
that casts lures a very long distance.
Aside from those, the Daiwa Zillion TWS has
many other features that make it one of the
best performing, best values in the baitcasting
market today. Take a look at everything it has
to offer below:
Aside from gathering fishing line quickly to
set the hook and keeping pace with a hooked
fish that is speeding towards the boat, reel
speed is also very valuable in saving an angler
time throughout the day. every second on the
water matters in a tournament, and being able
to get your lure in quickly to make the net cast
allows an angler to “save” moments at the end
of the competition day when it could make a
difference in one last fish.
Many anglers make the mistake of fishing each
and every cast all the way to the boat. They
make a cast to their intended target and turn
that handle at a medium cadence until the
lure reaches the side of the boat, then they
repeat the process. Professional anglers
know that they can save time by “fishing” the
lure through the strike zone, and then burning
it back to the boat the rest of the way to save
those precious moments.
But, retrieve speed is not the only innovation
that makes a difference in the performance of
a Daiwa Zillion TWS reel; it is also one of the
best casting reels on the market today. The
reason is because of two very unique design
features that free up the spool and the line to
get more distance.
The first is the Free Floating spool design that
separates the gearing from the spool shaft
on the cast to allow the spool to spin more
freely on the two bearings. The other feature
is Daiwa’s unique T-Wing System design.
