I only have 2 Zillions left and have sold the others and bought more Tatulas. I am keeping the 2 Zillions for heavy cranking - 3/4-1oz Spinner Baits and Deep divers - but The tatulas are perfect for the other applications. I really like the newest models of the Tatula 100's as well, they are much more compact then the older models, I have bought 3 in the last 2 weeks. I am a hardcore Shimano guy too, bought the last 4 reels I have bought have all been Diawas.

Ok, whats a finger liner? thats a new one on me, I keep my finger on the line off the face of the reel so I can feel the bite. It is a habit from when rods werent as sensitive as they are now. It probably isnt necessary now, but I have been doing it since I could pick up a rod and I am not going to break the habit now.
