In today’s video we inbox the new hard to acquire and highly anticipated for 2021, Daiwa Zillion SV TW G 100xh which is brand new to the market and one of the hottest reels of the year, looking very similar to the Shimano Metanium and I believe meant to compete head to head against the metanium fishing reel.

Honestly one of my favorite rods i have is Quantum throttle 2 ratio 7:3.1 on 7" Berkley Lighting Rod medium Heavy love it never have problem with it go far and all. Well im trying get googan Rod Go To Green to Canada but cant get it shipped here if you will help me out i pay difference and set reel on it think Shamino Curado but might be interested in Diawa 😋
Tension knob is a zero adjuster. Daiwa sets it from the factory. They suggests that you not adjust it but you can of course do what works for you. However that's why its a little harder to turn.
The best part of your videos are explaining things very thoroughly for people like me who are just starting to get into fishing, so thank you for that!
Awesome to see Daiwa on the channel and great video! I am a Daiwa person all the way and to this day my favorite reel from Daiwa is STEEZ A. Glad you enjoyed the reel! Keep up the great content.
You do a great job show casing different products bro 👏 Great video 👍
Killer review I always knew how the brake and tension worked but you explained it in a way Iv never heard before that makes way more sense. Thanks for that
The one thing about the new Daiwa reels is you don't have to mess with the tension knob. Most of them are set so you only have to mess with the brakes if you need to. Most guys will have to set it at about 50 percent until you learn how the reel works. I have mine set at 2. Awesome reel feels great in hand.
Great content as always 💪🏼
The way you presented the reel 👌🏻 hitting all the angles you wanna see. Great job man 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🩸
Thanks bro 👊🏼
I'm a big supporter of this reel. Great video as well!! Roro Lures makes a bfs spool for that model and you can throw lures down to 1gram. Makes the reel very versatile. Would love to see you showcase some bfs reels. Its a ton of fun and you would enjoy!
Got mine for two weeks now and love it 😍. Beast reel
That reel looks dope dude 🔥
Thing is pretty nuts man I’m curious to see how it compares over time
I’m sold just on the clicking drag, I’ve wanted my bait casters to click so bad and now it will , thanks for showing me this beautiful beast 👍🏾
That feature is pretty sweet!
Really appreciate the instructions, especially your comments while you are actually fishing with it! :-)
the closeup shots were sick !
Bro I was gonna ask how you liked the Zero adjust spool tension knob out if the box but nvm😂😂. I've had mine for a couple weeks waiting on a rod for it, glad to see a first impressions on it I can't wait to use it!
The new zillion is fire. I got two and loving em 💥🎣🔥 that clicking drag is awesome to hear when you catch a big bass 🤙
I got 3 because of it
Amazing video!!! Congratulations!!! Hugs from Brazil!!!
Spool tension is meant to be like that because they call it “Zero Adjust”. Set it and forget it. For me the sweet spot is to set the spool tension to where it’s barely got some play in it, and then use my brakes to fine tune each bait
Got mine jdm model and love it 😍
Sick looking reel. I got an old Bantam and they do look similar. Good advice on beginner baitcasting tips,that’s how I learned
I dig the clicking drag.
Per the instructions, the zero adjuster is designed so you don't accidentally hit the spool tension while reeling/casting, but you do want it set to minimalize side to side play. It comes close from the factory, but it usually needs a spot of tuning. I can go from skipping mode to long cast mode just by changing the brake dial. Lower weights (> 4g) or higher weights can be casted just the same without spool tension adjustment.
On Daiwas without the zero adjuster you set the spool tension just to eliminate side to side play and forget about it and never mess with it again. Then just adjust the magnetics to your liking. daiwas are easy to dial in, I'm thinking about picking up the zillion as well. Right now I have a couple of tatula sv and have been flawless.
Love when you do these !
Thank U!
I like when a reel looks a little beat up. Even an expensive one. It gives it character.
FYI the tension knob on the Right is a no adjust with the SV spool just change the dial on the left
Nice video, would you cast 2,5 ounces with this reel or is it Too much?
Nice video , land based fishing is dead set healthy for the soul. I’ve just purchased a tatula 100HS and am itching to try it. It’s my first reel since my shimano Calcutta passed away. But somethings telling that reel is the one to get.
Nice brother! Looks legit!
Tackle advisors actually did the best review. He took the damn thing apart and talked about ever part for 10 minutes. He is my favorite TH-camr
I don’t care to have the best review out there and I usually skip stuff like that 😂 I just want an idea of the specs and then see it in use 🔥 but I’m sure their review is awesome 🙌🏼
@@WestinSmith I’m a tackle guy and like to take apart all my reels down to the frame to see what separates them from each other. But their is nothing wrong with just going out and fishin it.
Thanks for replying by the way
Tackleadvisors is the best!
@@emmpak facts
Daiwa has become one of my favorite brands of reels
The Gogan rod says it all
Beautiful reel!
I have mostly Diawa Tatula reels, but have been trying out Shimano DC reels lately. They both have pros and cons. I feel like I can tune the Diawas more fine, but I like the Shimano easy of use.
Yeah I hear ya! Tension seems easier to adjust on the fly and brakes have less notches but they’re both phenomenal reels
I dislike my DC reel, to heavy to use all day, and the DC is hype they can backlash.
@@charlesshoemaker3622 yeah....the DC chip does choke the cast. Your just paying for the DC whine sound really. The only DC reel that doesn't choke the cast is the outrageous priced 2021 Antares DC.
Shimano and diawa is really the only way to go🤙🏽
About time you upgraded and got yourself a Daiwa.
John is a good dude :) hoping to fish with him soon!
Diawa hands down the best reels and the New Zillion takes it to another level! 🎣
Hands down the best shimano copying machine
@@savethepaling1872daiwa is advanced via mechanical, shimano is advanced via electronically, ppl compare the 2 but each specialize in what people prefer over the other, so its not exactly a fair argument lol
do you like this as much as a shimano dc.? I'm thinking of getting one of this. cheers good watch:)
READ THIS BRO ABOUT THE TENSION KNOB-On the daiwa sv--dont worry bout the spool tension. Thats why the daiwa spool tension is so hard to adjust, youre really not supposed to on the daiwa. Just set it to where theres no wiggle or the very tiniest wiggle and youre good. Thats the beauty of the sv brakes and why they are so much better than any other companies brakes (including the shimano dc). The brake settings compensate for everything including heavier lures, just use more brake. I run my brakes on about 6-8, maybe 10 or 12 if its really windy out and you’re using a light bait.
The older sv tws had a bigger tension knob that was easier to get to, but people kept complaining to daiwa that their reels didnt work good and they couldnt get the distance they could outta their lews or whatever. They were setting up the reels like they would a lews or something with a slow fall, and you arent supposed to on the sv system. So daiwa changed the tension knob to where its recessed and behind drag and everything and sent them out from factory with spool already set so only thing u gotta do is use more or less brakes.
I use all svs. I have 4 tatula sv tws, i have 2 coastal sv tws, and i have one zillion 10.0 sv tw(last years zillion sv tws) . I have a lews, and i have a shimano dc i use on deep crankin rod.....the sv is ultimate.
Daiwa is 🔥, I agree the clicking drag comes into play more in bfs with light lines and playing fish. The zillion can get super finesse also, you can spool 8lb flouro and pair it with a dobyns sierra finesse casting rod and throw neds and dropshots. Then you'll get to fully enjoy the clicking drag when a 3-5lb makes a run.
I have the Tatula SV TW and I’m certain I have never needed more than 6 on the brake setting. I throw 1/8 ounce hair jigs with that reel. I really love it. If you have any thumb skill at all you’ll never even come close to needing the brakes on more than 6 or 7.
Awesome feedback!! Thank ya
Just ordered the 8.5:1! I can’t wait for it to arrive!!
that reel is sick ! i would like to see you try the pro ti at the same price range
Yeah I’ve wanted to get one of those for review for so long!
Got my first frog fish of the year in Arizona today
pair it with blazon bfs rod with 8lb braided line and 12lb shock leader..almost to perfection setup i guess..have caught many peacock bass and hampala in my country..can't wait for silverwolf sv and silvercreek air this year..thumbs up for this vid btw👍✨
What would you pair this rod with medium heavy, or heavy? Thanks great review
Either, even a M. It really depends on the ratio you're picking.
Reallllly thinking about replacing my Lew’s tournament mp with this on my dobyns kaden rod. Really love my Tatula ct and my Tatula elite. Love my Daiwa’s
Diawar reels bearings aredry bearings and the spool tension is a zero adjust they come pre set from factory. At least on my to Tatula sv tws and tatula elite p/f they are super awesome reels to try if u are going with diawa
I just got a p/f and didn't know not to touch. Live and learn
What am I doing up! I have to work tomorrow😭BUT I HAVE TO WATCH THIS VIDEO🤩
Hahahaha
With the Daiwa t-wing system the only thing that sucks is if you throw braid, you can’t run long leaders. The knot struggles to come out the reel. But you can still run short leaders. But other than that it’s great.
Just got mine today, can’t wait to use it…sloped it on my orochi jerkbait rod
12 is what I run my Tatula's on. You should try a Tatula, its a good combination of performance and affordability.
Tension knob is called a zero adjuster meaning don't touch. It was tuned at manufacturer.
The thing is, with this new Zillion they have a brand new magnetic brake system. Instead of one tier, it has two different phases of braking. So you shouldn't need to adjust the spool tension other than to eliminate play. That is the goal anyway. Supposedly, this new Z-brake will outperform the last generation by a large amount. That's what Daiwa says anyway. I am waiting to see if that is actually the case and if Daiwa reviewers that are familiar with the systems agree it is a game-changer. If so, I might buy one. If not, I'll be looking at another Shimano. Perhaps the Mentainum.
I’d like to see a comparison to the tatula sv tw. Been thinking about picking one up.
Great video
Once you can get the brake to ~4, it really does shine.
Sick reel... Mister Secret agent man ! lol
My shimano antares also has a clicking drag got try that reel out
Wow. Daiwa were the bomb when I started fishing. (35 years ago!!!) Tight lines people 👊 🇬🇧
Hahahaha and still going strong
I run 12 pound mono with an 8lb fluoro leader fishing for Smallies on an SV model reel. Performs like a dream.
That’s a perfect setup!
The SV spool is insane. It was designed to be able to throw the lightest of lures without back lashing. It's a very light spool. Once you're able to get it dialed in, try throwing a Weightless fluke on it, its effortless, even more so than any bfs reel I've fished.
Flukes it is 🙌🏼🔥 coming up
I have a different Daiwa SV reel and I can get the best distance (throwing around 3/8th ounce) with brake set to 7ish depending on wind. But I also haven’t messed with the zero adjuster tension knob. I get silly distance with it set this way. I have hit the other side of t he bank of a midsize pond at times. I have to use my thumb a little but I am by no means a pro.
If you want to cast thumb free you are going to have to neuter the casting distance. It’s a shame to do that to such a capable reel.
The SV BOOST spool on that Zillion is supposed to reach out ever farther than the regular SV spool.
I just received a brand new Daiwa Zillion 21 SV TW G reel ( ZLNSVG100H ) but without the cast control cap or the stem. Where can I order an authentic replacement cap and stem for it or any that is compatible?
I think the Daiwa part number is H28-1201 but I’m not 100% sure on that or what the stem it covers is. This Zillion 21 is a pretty well known reel so I figured you guys might have a good idea of what would work here.
Thank you!
Lure should free fall and set to 6 to 12 depending on wind. The slow fall is for non daiwa braking systems.
Just curious, where did you find storage with an electrical allowance?
Should try that tatula smooth as butter and cast a mile lol, once your use to it and figure it out it’s easy as pie and it light
welcome aboard the zillion train. saw the title and laughed because i got mine for $350 shipped from japan when they launched them months ago. for me it has replaced the steez sv tw for me...which is a good thing because it's much cheaper, yet has the same quality and almost as light. also, you probably know this already by now, but the tension knob isn't designed to be adjusted...comes preset from factory...why it's termed zero adjuster. all you adjust is the braking dial on the bottom side of the reel. anyway, enjoy. i laughed when you started on 20...lure won't go anywhere. sweet spot is 4-7 with factory set zero adjuster. lol..bro you did everything wrong with this reel out of box, all good though because you didn't know. welcome to daiwa though.
Another issue is you can't lay your thumb on the spool while reeling or the line will bunch up where the thumb is because of the t wing
Do u use leader line on FC main line?
The diawa isn’t the only baitcaster that has clicking drag, the shimano excense and shimano anteres have them. But it’s a cool feature
Heh, you're gonna learn like I did that we're not supposed to adjust the tension knob.
Nah man you gotta adjust the zero adjuster. It’s just I would loosen instead of tighten
Spool tension knob is a set it and forget knob.. you never need to adjust that, I have a bucket full of the Daiwa reels and that know never gets touched!! The SV spool takes care of all the adjustments.
Waiting for them to come back in stock..Thanks for the review
I would have to disagree. I was having issues pitching with mine using a Texas rig worm yesterday and I had to loosen the no adjustment to get accurate pitches. I like no braking on my reels at all when pitching. This is the only negative I’ve found about this reel is over braking at times.
They cast so much better when you adjust the "zero adjuster."
is it as smooth as curado
Seems like the perfect flippin pitchin and skippin reel
You don’t need to touch the adjuster. It’s set by manufacturer. They call it the zero adjuster knob so you don’t have to adjust for any of the weights you’re using. You can go from 1/4 to 1/2oz with zero adjustments. It’s got the Stress-free versatile technology so your brakes will adjust to your weight when casting. The manual comes in handy especially if you’re fishing a different brand. I got my first ever daiwa and had to dig into the manual. #teamshimano
Bait dropped too fast. If it wasn’t needed it wouldn’t be there 😂 trust me people using this reel will be adjusting it for best results, but I too rarely ever touch them on the Shimano’s
@@WestinSmith Mine drops fast as hell too. But I’ve never had to adjust it. Only adjusting my brakes to help put more brakes on during my cast. I don’t think you’d really need to adjust your tension knob on that zillion especially since it’s $$$ compared to my tatula Sv tw103. The older model you had to adjust the tension knob but the design of these new reels from daiwa are already adjusted to allow the air brakes to apply the right amount of brakes when casting
@@WestinSmith I believe even on The Reel Test like you mentioned in the beginning says it’s not needed to adjust the tension on these newer daiwa but I could most definitely be wrong. Most of my Shimano has to get adjusted to weight from what I’ve noticed and used. From my curado MGL to my Metanium dc
The tension knobs on Daiwas is so touchy you don't need to move it much more than a couple hairs going from 5/8s to 1/16.
That’s what they say! Pretty crazy
Welp I just found my new reel I'm gifting myself for Father's Day but wayyyyy sooner 😂😜😊
Why did the turtle attack you like that😂
If you want the most in depth review go to tackle advisors. The reel test is a great channel but tackle advisors goes deep into the reel.
No, he just goes over components. He doesn’t actually fish them and compare them.
Tackle Advisors channel takes the Reel Tests lunch money it’s not even close. TA is so much more educated
The Diawa tatula sv is the best. Hands down all I fish with less chances of getting backlashes
Get the shimano exsence dc. Has clicking drag!
I like how westin kept saying some other Shimanos
🤣🤣
2 years later, how are you liking this reel?
I have the daiwa tatula and I think I like it more than my Shimano.
Can I ask what line you use? And how many LB?
sweet looking real Westin
U should do the abu Garcia bmax3 black maxx baitcaster reel
Nice baitcaster! I only use Shimano and Daiwa.
It has a zero adjuster spool set by the factory you don’t have to touch it at all
So what technique (T-Rig, jigs, moving bait). I'm thinking about this reel.
With what did u go?
The T wing level wind is nice but it is horrible if you tie a leader longer than the rod, other than that diawa makes a great reel. I have several tatulas from the 100 to the 150s and they all are solid reels
Really? I have no issue with tying a long leader on mine. I use a double uni.
Whats the "G" stand for?
Next. Let's see that exsense dc ss also has a clicking drag. And it's a Shimano. 🔥
I dont really understand how the tension knob is suppose to be preset considering the amount of weight options there are of baits of the market entirely. Is it set out of the box for lures from 3/16oz-3/8oz?
Now I could be COMPLETELY WRONG.... but I think people are on their “Daiwa high horses” and just saying that cause they think they’re the best thing since sliced bread 😂 which is great, and the thing is extremely high quality, but it would also be the same as saying a Shimano DC with the iDC5 system like the scorpion DC or metanium DC with the auto brake feature will NEVER BACKLASH. Marketing fluff has these dudes pretty excited I think haha
@@WestinSmith Every company has their marketing hype. I almost bought a Tatula alone based on the T-wing when I first saw it. I just hope the market doesn't start to get overzealous with new desigs and features just to make a bigger buck.
My dad has the previous Zillion SV. I have a Tatula SV. His Zillion is probably "better" but not by such a wide margin that I'll willing to shell out the extra 100-150 bucks for it. Not hating on the Zillion, just saying that if it's me I'll take the 200 dollar reel and put the rest into a better rod or hell even a another gun.
@7:56 is dope. Head bobber
The one thing I don't like about the TW system is it doesn't do well with connecting knots. Overall though I really like my Tatula CT but all my high end is Shimano.
I have yet to have a problem with that. Up to 20lb fluorocarbon leader with 50lb braid and the Alberto knot. I can wind the knot on to the spool and cast.
Hey from Arlington texas
MY GUY Lets Try Not To Get Kicked Out Of Any Ponds Today 😅🤘🏼
That is always the goal 🙌🏼
