Thanks all for your replies! I guess it’s time for a service. Brian

Hello all, So I went fishing the other day and grabbed my alpha reel and found that it had no drag pressure. It turned out that I forgot to back off the drag while it was sitting on my rod rack. After a few tightening and loosening, the drag pressure came back. should I get the reel serviced? It seems to be working ok now. Has anyone experienced this? thanks for your help! Brian

Pulled the trigger on EMTF ive been wanting to try Megabass for a while...couldn’t resist ?

I use Alberto and modified Alberto not sure how they are in size compare to FG knot which I know many use these days thanks for your help!!! Brian

Does the avid x casting rod come with micro guides? I use braid on all my reels with short flourocarbon leader most of the time and I don't want it to hang up in the guides.. does anyone have problem with micro guides on avid x? thank you again! Brian

That sounds sweet but I want to get a M rated rod this time Thank you! 45 I guess many of you like Avid X better than gloomis E6X. Closest basspro from me is about 45miles away and local tackle shops really don't have varieties in freshwater rods to try them Which rod is more sensitive between these two? thank you again!

I have some bass pro gift cards that I got for various occasions that I can purchase about 2 of above mentioned rods im looking to buy a casting rod and a spinning rod For a casting rod, I'm looking for kind of a multipurpose rod in length of 6.5-7', Medium power rod. For a spinning rod, im looking to do DS and finesse soft baits in 6.5-7', ML rod at basspro they carry E6X, Avid and mojo what would you recommend me for above? Thank you for your help!

5 up and down for me its all about keeping compact for me now when I go saltwater on a regular Alberto I do 15-20 wrap up to 25lbs line modified Alberto I only do 5-6 up and down

Got the reel today. Between work out and traffic in so cal I didn't get a chance to spool it and throw so far just playing with it, it feels like alpha I have. Of course SV spool spins forever I think I'm going to like it!

Thanks! The reel supposed to get here tomorrow. I will update with my first impression Tons of good info here for novice bass fisherman like me. thanks again!

Alberto or modified Alberto for me I use them on my saltwater lines as well rarely failed me. Lines broke before knot failed and they are pretty small also

So I ended up ordering SV 103 in 6.3:1 gear I will update you how I like it once I receive the reel and fish it Thanks all again for your helps!

Thanks for sharing. i currently have alpha, curado,Tatula type r and Chronarch but don't have much problem handling them all but I prefer a smaller reel. Catching big fish with smaller reel just feels better Now I need to decide on gear ratio Most of my reels are 7.x:1-8.1:1 and one lonely curado 200E5 Most of my fishing is bottom dragging and just little bit of jerkbait and cranking. Maybe I should go with 6.3 as suggested Thank you all for your help! 45

Ok, got little confused whats he difference between Tatula 103 and Tatula SV TWS?

So I'd be better off with Tatula SV TWS and save some money? Performance wise, am I looking at about the same between SV 103 and Tatula SV tws? Thank you! 45

I read SV 103 is smaller than Zillion SV TWS. My other reels are curado 70 and chronarch 150 is Daiwa 100 size baitcaster bigger than shimano 150 size? Sorry for dumb question.. thanks for the help!

Hello all, First post but I've lurking around here for awhile. I acquired a like new alphas 105 SV some time ago and I got it all adjusted recently and it is my favorite reel so far. Now I've tasted the SV spool and I want another one but do it all kinda reel. I've read a lot of praise about SV 103 and seriously thinking about getting one. I know there is new zillion SV TWS but I'm not too fond of TWing and bigger frame kind of turns me off Is SV 103 in 7.9 gear ratio good choice for an all round do it all reel? Or would I be better off with zillion SV TWS despite few dislikes or newer Tatula SV TWS? thanks for your help! 45
