Tatula Elite vs Zillion Sv Tw
I have both. Elite gets a little more distance. I’ve found that the Elite backlashes more when casting in the wind. Zillion is smoother. For the money the JDM Zillion is the better deal

When should I be using fluoro?
I use FC for all bottom contact presentations. It gives me the best sensitivity and I like how it sinks. I use P-Line Tactical FC which handles like Mono. Tried the braid to leader thing once and hated it

JDM Zillion or Tatula SV 70?

Copolymer Line Suggestions Similar to Yozuri Hybrid
Another vote for McCoys. It handles and casts a lot better than Yozuri as well

Lithium battery question
No it won’t work. For Minn Kota, you have to use the Precision charger for Lithium. I use a Noco Genius and it works well.

Bulk Mono Low Memory
McCoy Mean Green or Xtra Clear copoly. Very low memory and great casting line
