It seems no matter how big the fish is, during the hookset I tend to throw the brakes 1-2 full clicks in either direction. Daiwa should really put the braking system a little further back into the body of the reel. It gets aggrivating when my pitching reel goes from a 5 to a 3 lol.

You have to decide which is more important.

You must have hands like bananas. I have several Zillions and never once has that happened.

You must be palming the reel way on the front of it. I have never had that happen to me either with my Zillions.

If you hate them so bad how much do you want to sell them for?I think they are the best reels on the market today.

I love my mine, and my boy keeps "borrowing" them. Just wish they were more affordable.

I have about 20 of them and NONE have done what you described. I have big hands too. Personally I think the Zillion is one of the best reels on the market. They are about bullet proof and perform very well.

Have to agree with everyone else, I've never had that problem.
Man you must got some GIANT hands. Might want to try a round reel. Lol

Definite Zillion love fest. Shimano guys always get to brag about the Curados and Chronarchs. It's our turn now!
