Hey so, i found someone who needs to get rid of their lightly used zillion because of financial reasons and they are willing to let it go for 150, is this reel a good reel? plus what should i look for in a second hand reel to ensure i’m not getting screwed with something that is broken lol

Buying a used reel is just like buying a used car or boat.  You can get a vague idea of how it was used or maintained from a picture, but your not going to know exactly what your getting until you get it in your hands.  

 

If it is, as the seller says, lightly used, it  will look almost new. A nick here or there on the exterior is common on a used reel, but multiple nicks and scratches are a good indication the reel was abused. Another indicator of a reel that hasn't been taken care of is a dirty level wind gear and/or line guide.

That's a good deal on that reel, but the old saying; You get what you pay for, often applies to good deals.

As a reel goes,  I have two.  I bought one from a forum member.  That price is really good.  They are superb reels. The handle is large.  That’s easy to remedy.

I have this reel and it’s currently the favorite one in my arsenal.  It’s honestly probably a little overpowered for Michigan bass, but it does well throwing anything 3/8 oz to 2oz (I don’t throw anything bigger).  I use it mostly for pitching and swimming jigs.  One thing I will say is that it is not a bombing distance caster.  While not having an SV spool, it is definitely controlled casting.
