Sv Spool = Wow 2024


fishing user avatarrippin-lips reply : 

Picked up the 1000 SV shallow spool for my Steez 100. Well it was nice enough out today that I spooled it with #50 braid '#12 mono' and did some yard fishing. All I had tied in was a jika rig without plastic that tipped the scales at 7.5 grams. Reel has lightly lubed Boca os7 bearings. Mag brake was on 3 and spool tension loose enough that when the lure hit the ground it causes an overun. First cast without any thumb I spooled it. Same the next. I'm thinking there is no way I'm making an 80 yard cast so I went back and looked up capacity online. Sure enough that was for the deep spool. Shallow spool will hold 80 yards of #10 sized line. Having no #40 I went with #30. I'm still blown away at the distance I'm getting with just a 1/4oz bait. I had the RCS 1016 spool in there prior to this and this spool I feel outshines it.


fishing user avatarJeff H reply : 

I have been considering the SV shallow and RCS 1012 for use in my TD-Z's for lighter lines/lures (6 or 8lb test).  I used the 1016 with 8lb test last year on my TD-Z 103P for some small cranks and it worked awesome.  I just don't need that much capacity with 8 lb line so considering other options.  It's looking to be an expensive playground!


fishing user avatarOroBass reply : 

Do they make a shallow spool for a diawa lexa 100


fishing user avatarrippin-lips reply : 

They don't make any spool options for a lexa that I'm aware of.


fishing user avatarHogsticker reply : 

I plugged one into all my Daiwa reels with the exception of my T3 Mx. It has a 1016 spool in it which is pretty special itself. Alphas SV is next up in the line up. Can't wait.


fishing user avatarIAY reply : 

Interesting. I have a SS SV, and I don't like the SV spool since it feels too tame for me. Maybe I will try an Steez SV to make for sure.

The Aird spool is slightly shallower. I don't believe it will give any performance benefits though.

Im thinking my next reel will be a chronarch 51 because of all the upgrades. I want to build a finesse baitcaster


fishing user avatarrippin-lips reply : 

There's a ton of upgrades for Daiwa. Even more than Shimano for oem spool options that are interchangeable. You just have the wrong Daiwa.


fishing user avataraavery2 reply : 

If you get a chance, can you try it with an 1/8th oz and report what kind of performance you get?

Too tame? Like too much brake? It did tame the reel down but verse the 1016 spool it gets more distance and isn't as finicky. The 1016 was an improvement over the stock spool. It did the same thing for the reel as what the SV just did.

I can get better distance on my SS SV with the break set to 0, using only thumb (my thumbing is pretty subpar imo), so that kind of turned me off. I read that SS SV has stronger breaking than Steez(can't confirm), so maybe I will like the Steez SV more.

This was a Dobyns dx 704.

I'll have to use the 713 probably for 1/8th.


fishing user avatarbass1980 reply : 

The 1016 spool is realky nice. The SV spools are special. In the past Shimano has always been easier to cast for newbs with their VBS. Now with Daiwa putting the SV spool in many of their reels I think Daiwa is easier to cast. Those SV spool is almost idiot proof....almost.

Yeah I can't really say yes or no. I know the Steez sv spool and the t3 sv spool are the same. Not sure about the ss sv spool.

I would think other than color it was. Maybe someone else will chime in.


fishing user avatarTywithay reply : 

The SV103 spool from the Steez is slightly lighter than the SV1000, and the spool shaft is a little longer. I tried the SV spool and 1016 in a Steez and found the SV much more tame as well. It was not as tame as the SS SV though. I prefer the 1016 for distance, since it's a little more wild. The SV is great for trouble free casting and throwing lighter stuff, but I felt like it definitely had a stronger braking profile.

A Shimano 51 is a good choice for a finesse reel but for the opposite reason you mentioned, really. The stock 51 handles most finesse duties very well and it's the most economical option to get into finesse casting.

 

If you'd like to stay Daiwa, the PX Type R is a monster but she'll cost ya. The upside is that the PX is ready to roll out of the box, no tinkering necessary. For other options, the Alphas platform is a finesse favorite but it suffers from a lack of spool options and a non-clicking drag star. The Alphas SV might address both of those weaknesses, but that's all speculation as it is slated for a March(?) release. You could always take a TD-Z 103/105 and drop a 105 SV spool in it, but finding TD-Z's in good cosmetic shape for a fair price is easier said than done.

I'm not sure of your budget but you can pick up a used Daiwa px68 for right at $200 shipped. It's a finesse reel straight out of the box.

I've gone this route before.  Not with a Shimano, tho.  A Daiwa Sol.  It is okay if you need to spread the cost out over time.  However, I'm not sure I wound up with a reel able to perform as well as the true finesse reel I finally broke down and bought....a PXL.  Won't know that for sure until it warms up enough for me to get out with both for some side-by-side comparisons.

If you are just looking to add the 'pretty' parts from Hedgehog Studios you don't need to buy a PX. A Tatula has the options of dress up parts. A PX is a true finesse reel to throw light rigs. Are you just trying to dress up a reel or actually want a reel for light baits?


fishing user avatarthehooligan reply : 

For the short time i had my td ito, i put in the steez 105 sv shallow spool. Tried 20lb braid and 8lb hybrid and was pretty amazed throwing 1/16oz wacky flickshshakes/shakyheads, and weightless wacky 4 inch senkos.

 

There very versatile, as i could almost turn the mag brakes off and throw 1/2oz topwaters, then turn it back to about 2-3 on the dial and be throwing weightless plastics.

 

Im truly a shimano guy and only sold that ito/sv setup cause i needed the money, but the new alphas sv has me pretty excited. Told myself id save for just the aldebaran but i want that alphas too  :pray:

The Steez sv and t3 are definitely different cause you can drop the t3 svl in a steez but can use the steez sv in t3. Also the steez sv is around $30 more than t3. For the performance I think they should be the same, which makes me feel stupid paying extra for the Steez sv.


fishing user avatarrippin-lips reply : 

I was referring to the braking of each. Someone said the difference is the Steez SV has a lightly longer spool shaft and weighs a fraction more.

Alright it's 42 out and I did some testing for you. I used a #2 wacky hook and a jackall flick shake worm. Total weight was 3.7g on the scale. I made about a dozen casts and they all seemed to average about 40' once I got them all to go straight. Release point sure is different on something that light.

You can use the Steez SV spool in a T3. You have to remove the carbon shim in the sideplate, because the spool shaft is longer.

Thanks for getting out in the cold and giving that a try.  I think the release point is crazy because most rods just can't load properly with that light of a weight.   Most of the rods that I have tried an 1/8 on, my casts always fly to the left.

 

Did you use the Phoenix?

Yeah I had the same thing happen to me. I did use the Phenix. It really doesn't load much with 1/8oz. It's funny when you actually weigh a bait. Most of these people who are saying 'my X reel will throw 1/8oz' probably don't realize a fat Albert grub,trick worm, or 4" senko weighs a 1/4oz as they sit without a hook.


fishing user avatarHogsticker reply : 

In short, what I really dig about these spools, especially the deep version, is it will allow me to cast both relatively light and relatively heavy baits. . . Stress free! I can set my T3s on long cast with the dial at zero and let her rip. Minimal line fluff into the wind. The distance I'm getting is still quite respectable and very acceptable. No side plate to open, no tabs to move. Simple and effective. Think it's time to phase one more Shimano out (Curado 51E) for an Alphas SV.

I think you have hit it right on the head,  the plastic, even a small one adds some considerable weight.   Many modern reels stock out of the box can cast 1/4oz and up, but it takes a good setup, both rod, reel and line, to even get started with an 1/8.

You have 4 real choices... Hedgehog, Hawgtech, Boca, ZPI... I personally use Hedgehog, but any will do very well for you.  Make sure you check the retailer instructions closely.  Hedgehogs are usually drop in and already oiled up and ready to go.  ZPI for instance, you have to add oil or they say you can mess them up.  By add oil I think all the retailers agree that means a SINGLE drop, no more.

 

http://japantackle.com/tuning-parts/ball-bearings-pin-remover.html

 

Here's a helpful little page for you if you need to figure out sizes.

 

The Tatula will need some work, but can function amazing smooth if you put in the work.

The Bearings you should change:

1) 4 Bearing in the knobs which should be 4x7x2.5s.  Don't get anything crazy like ABEC7s, most retailers sell a good bearing that isn't over the top for the knobs.  Tackletrap has a 4 pack of good bearings for $16 or something.

2) Line guide bearings. They make kits for this too, can't remember the size but can't be too hard to find.

3) Spool shaft bearings.  Use the list that I linked, these are the bearings you want to put your money in, $30-36 is a good price for some amazing quality bearings.

 

Be forewarned, turned your d**n brakes up before casting with new spool bearings:D

Here I made this easy for you, use the following to supertune your Tatula (using code BBC10 will save you 10% fyi)

The 2 Zillion TWS reels I have cast crazy far already, I did nothing to mine.  But if you want just do the spool bearings and anything else I think would be a waste of your money.

I have a few pairs of the air hd bearings but I've slowly went over to Zpi Sics. Price is the same and it's a better bearing.

Don't waste your money on bearings. If anything pickup 4 - 4x7x2.5 bearings and add 2 to the knobs and 2 to the worm shaft. However, the difference isn't really noticeable. I do it because I like to mess with stuff. I had 2 tatulas... 1 with al the extra bearings and upgraded spool bearings. The other 100% bone stock. If you blindfolded me I would not ever be able to tell you which one was in my hand. If anything spend that $30 and send it to Bryan at The Tackle Trap and have it properly cleaned and lubed. 


fishing user avatar.ghoti. reply : 

^^^THIS^^^

Before you spend any cash on spool bearings, either learn how to properly clean and lube your reel(s), or send it/them to Mike at Delaware Valley Tackle.

 

I hate to admit how much money I spent on spool bearings before realizing I was pizzing away my money. If you buy a Daiwa or Shimano, or a made in Sweden Ambassadeur, the spool bearings do not need to be "upgraded".

 

Unless, of course, you are one of those who has to have the most expensive toys.


fishing user avatarjtesch reply : 

SS SV is most definitely more "breaky" then the other SV's. I think you have to accept it for what it is, a mid range caster that is very accurate and controlled. The Tatula SV can waaaaay outcast it and doesn't even have a free floating spool. Remember the SS SV is one of the first SV's and I'm sure a lot of fine tuning has happened since

You are limited in spool options for the CT, Arachnid and Zillion TWS.  There aren't any SV spools for those reels but there are a few Ray's Studio shallow finesse and shallow long cast spools for the Tatula CT and Arachnid/old Tatula that will run you around $35 on Aliexpress or Ebay.  Here is a pic of the Tatula CT DIY Long Cast which is a deeper version of their shallow BFS spool.
