I'd go the j dream. If its anything like my zillion type r it'll be awesome. Had a play with one a few weeks ago. Very nice and feels a bit more "finesse" then the type r zillion. If I knew they were bringing them out I would of held off on getting the type r and got 1 for sure

thanks for that the zillion sounds great does anybody no if they are salt water safe?

[scott1987]

The pretty sure there saltwater safe. I just spray my zillion down with water from a pump spray bottle after each trip. And oil it once a week

before you jump head first into a purchase how about you let us know what your intended use will be, those reels are quite different. ive had previous zillion versions and have a T3 and to be honest im never going back to a zillion variant. EVER

Phantom explain? I love my zillions!

construction qualitly and casting distance left alot to be desired (owned 25th anniv., pe spec. 100sh and a good mate had a coastal). i will admit i havent tried all 100 zillion varients.... but im certaily not the only one that shares this view. on a personal level to (as this changes from person to person) i hated the shape of it in my hand. i think theres alot of better options out there when your looking at spending $500+
