5 stars. This is some of the best/cleanest custom work I’ve seen.

By FAR!!!
Don't think I would use them without gloves on..

Sweet heart-of-Buddha-hand-of-the-devil!!! That is perfect!

Zillion HLC and purple SLP knobs

Love it. I'm a big fan of that spool in my IP68. I always wanted a clean TD Zillion HLC. I need to add another TD Zillion to the collection. Maybe a limited or Type R.

Thanks LR! For sure, you can’t go wrong with the looks and performance of any Zillion Limited variant.

How about purple accents with some brown mixed in?

What TDZ reel is that? Custom painted?

[Tokugawa]

It is a Calfish custom painted TD-Z 103HL. At one time there was a thread, but it got lost in the Great Hack and the Photobucket Purge.

How did you get the nose piece pated gold?

So awesome! Daiwa really has slipped on the limited cool factor reels.

Just got my used Zillion HD in for my Huyga 72H. 1016 reels just don't have the capacity for the types of baits I throw on that rod. Kept spooling my TD Zillions and 1016 reels throwing bigger frogs, ploppers ect.

The reel feels solid but is definitely not refined. You can tell it is not cut from the same cloth as a TD Zillion. It's more high end Tatula. Its a lightly used 8:1 but it already has some gear whine and while smooth isn't very refined. Good enough. Would have never payed $400 for one of these. My "like new" has a number of marks in the paint I didn't notice and wish I payed closer to $250 shipped instead of $328 shipped. Live and learn with eBay.

This one has the Catalina TW spool with it too for 65# braid use bombing frogs. Love walking banks crawling big frogs over the summer with the Hyuga. Curious to see how the Catalina spool behaves in the Zillion HD. The stock spool and Catalina TW spool have slightly different shaft lengths. I have to back off the spool tension when dropping in the Catalina spool.

Stock fixed inductor spool seems heavily braked but that should be good with big baits and heavy mono line. If I want a fast spool with braid then that is what the Catalina TW spool is for.

Going to take it out this weekend and throw some ploppers with both spools to see how it does. Hoping this is the forever reel for this rod.

Just have to buy another purple bumper so I have two and I can replace the stock silver ones. At one point I was going to purple a Catalina TW for this rod but the prices went crazy on those reels.
