Re: building the 5.1:1 'crankin'steez'
The OG Zillion gears should work in the high speed models as I believe these are the same as the SS SV, I have changed my SS SV reels to OG Zillion gears as they are much smoother and give the ability to upgrade the drag as well.

Re: building the 5.1:1 'crankin'steez'
After checking every Daiwa I could think of, I think I figured out a 5.1:1 lefty gear set. Requires a bit of a mod, But nothing too complicated.
Setup in my TD-100ML.
Now to test the heck out of it!!

Since the 6.3 Steez already comes in at 26" (advertised, reality is more like 24-25"), I wonder how much lower the 5.7 TD-Z 100/103ML gearset would go? 2-3" slower possibly?
JJBassnForFun, any follow to your testing with the 5:1 LH gearset? What gearset did you use? Any idea of IPT achieved? That might hit 20-21 I would think... Nice deep CB or SB reel I would say.

IPL for the 5.7 TDZ-BBS with the 36mm spool is approx. 25.4". With the 5.1:1 gearset the 34mm TDZ103 is approx. 21.65" and the TDZ100/BBS is approx. 22.9"
Unfortunately the 5.1:1 gearset I used in the TDZ100 LH is NLA.

Good numbers, thanks. Too bad the gearset is no more

I'm checking out other sister reels to see if something else is close. But other projects have me bogged down.78Staff wrote:Good numbers, thanks. Too bad the gearset is no more.
If this becomes of great interest, I could have the oem set laser scanned and fabricated. Pretty pricey though.... Tried it with the TDZ rh 7.1:1 gearset and its netting around $100 clams each to have sets made.

Re: building the 5.1:1 'crankin'steez'
Been beating the fudge out of them with SB and bladed jigs slow rolling over grass. The 100ML is working dandy. The gears I used came from the Millionaire CV-Z203L
All that is required is to drill the 3 holes to allow main gear and drive gear A to match up..........
