    The Tackle Trap stocks gear sets for the "original" Zillion family and can take those reels from 4.9 to 8:1 with several stops in between. Bryan can clean and super tune, add carbontex drag washers, and even change the gear ratio if you're thinking of sending one in for service. Call the shop M-F 7am to 5pm central time with any questions, be glad to help out - 256 281 6160

    Dont forget that if you making more than a 1.0:1 (I believe that's what Bryan told me but would double check with him) change you should also change the level wind. I have changed a few reels ratios with Bryans help, all worked out great!
