I like the idea of being able to swap spools depending on what im doing with the reel, where did you buy the Ray's Studio spool from? what braid do you find works best with it? With the spool being so shallow - does that help from braid dig in? Thanks in advance!

Oh wow yea that’s awesome! I don’t get to spend as much time on the water with a little one at the house and another on the way so less time with backlashes is the goal! Would you know if that alpha SV is worth the bump over the tatula SV? It’s only $30 more on JLS

I’ve definitely kinked the line digging out backlashes, invisX is too costly to use until my thumb is better trained for sure. I have a tatula ct that I can cast very easily and don’t backlash at all, I do think per your suggestion that the SV will work great for what I’m trying to do. When using the slx mgl for short work I would backlash what seemed like every other cast or should I say pitch.

Tom - I've been using the SLX MGL on a Dobyns 683c Sierra with invisX and have a very hard time managing the backlashes. I was told the slack line sensitivity would be good.I agree with you Tom that FC isnt the line for me. I've had much better luck with Yozuri Hybrid but will be getting the Sunline Shooter Armilo to check out now. Fastbee - most my stuff is up close so another great reason to go with the SV. Now to decide what to use the SLX MGL for now - its the 8.1 gear

I’m newer to baitcasters and don’t have the best trained thumb, I’ll go with the tatula. Thanks for the replies!

Which of the two above reels would work best for weightless senkos?
