    Daiwa Zillion TWS Casting Reels

    Tackle Warehouse has them on sale for $134.99 . Not the latest Zillion, but was going for $299.99 last year or the year before.

    So, it's $5.00 less. Please elaborate on why it's better. I'm all ears.

    A Zillion is a Tatula with a free floating spool, just pick your preferred feature...compact vs some extra casting distance (little to no performance improvement between the two). Just my opinion...

    Pay $130 for a $130 reel or pay $135 for a $300 reel. I chose to pay $5 more for a Zillion.

    Money spent does not equal quality/performance. When you fish it, see if you notice a difference...its why these reels never went anywhere...

    Zillion is a good reel, I'm simply noting performance against value.

    I think we got off on the wrong foot. Both are great reels and value.
