Anyone still using this reel today? How are your 7.4:1 gears holding up? I want to pair this reel to my Zenaq Spirado Blackart 72MH Biwa Special with 30-40 braid + leader for mostly swimjigs and some mid resistance torque baits and some 4-6" paddletails with 5/0-8/0 hooks...I'll save the big 1 oz + Big Colorado bladed spinnerbaits for my 6.3 Zillion SV103 or Z2020H.

Thanks in advance.

Still use it, just not often. It’s been smooth and remains that way after tossing many baits ranging from cranks to some jig duties on Flouro. Regardless, it’s been a pleasure to fish and should be ok as long as you don’t get into heavier resistance baits. Swimjigs are right in its wheelhouse, but I wouldn’t be utilizing braid for that tech unless fishing around gnarly cover, so there’s that. As you know… Braid will be a bit harder on internals during hooksets etc and that’s why I mention it.
