line question
I fish my worms and jigs on 30lb braid to 14lb mono a lot. I too use the alberto knot. Braid to leader is the way to go for best sensitivty while reraining abrasion resistance against rocks.

Whats the best rod and reel setup for worm fishing?
you would want a rod thats M or MH power depending on the weight and cover you are fishing, 7'-8' long depending on how comfortable you are with a longer rod, and a 7:1 or 8:1 reel because when you are working the worm, your actions will be imparted by the rod, and the reel is only for picking up line.

How much is import tax on reels shipped from Japan?
If your local carrier delivers it, then you wont get taxed. if a 3rd party company (fedex, ups, dhl) sends it, you will get taxed. One way to avoid getting taxed is to send your package by suing either EMS, SAL, or Airmail. Each of these carries has restrictions on sizing, and none will deliver goods over 1.5m long.

Iv used both, currently own Zillion SV TW. If you have the option, go with Zillion. I have cast 1/4oz Xraps on a H/MF rod with my zillion sv tw and I dont lose control.

Question about Daiwa Zillion TWS
Not all SV spools act the same, some such as the Tatula SV, will have much stronger breaking force than a Zillion VS TW.

Spybaits for LM
I use the gancraft screwbait at night and got some fish on it. Iv also had good luck with the evergreen propmagic 95. That thing wobbles real good on the fall. Both of these can be fished on heavier line (i use 14lb mono) and can be burned
