Swest18x Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I played with the spool tensioner knob on my new Zillion, before learning it's factory set. Any advice on how to get it back as close as possible to factory specs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valvodinho Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 They don't really come factory set. If you want to use the reel as Daiwa intended then you should set the spool tension knob so there is the tiniest bit of wiggle from the spool if you try to move it with your fingers. This should have you set up perfectly if you wish to use their "zero adjust technology" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Jrob78 Posted May 19 Super User Share Posted May 19 I adjust all my zero adjust reels. Once I get them set how I want them I don't normally have to mess with them much but I like my spool tension looser than it comes from the factory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted May 19 Super User Share Posted May 19 You're not an idiot, but the Zillion is the most idiot proof reel I could imagine. Don't worry about it, all the above replies nailed it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatulatard Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Set it for a smidge of side to side play. Also do this for all of your reels and now they are all zero adjust. "Zero adjuster" is just the hard to turn knob you adjust zero number of times. It's not a new innovation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do this, but I have the button pushed down to free spool first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
