If you would like to skip 1/8 oz and under look into the Ray's Studio DIY spools.  They're Air Brake spools like the SV but are lighter, shallower and have a thinner inductor to brake less hard with light weight baits.  They're on Aliexpress but can be found on Ebay at a higher price.  

Explain more buddy

BFS?

'Bait finesse system' Baitcasting gear made for light finesse presentations.  Often sub 1/4 ounce and even sub 1/8 into UL territory.  

thanks

These "diy" spools from ray's studio are the real deal.  They transform any reel into a bfs machine.  I have one in my pixy and it makes it even better and they are pretty inexpensive compared stuff from japan.

Anyone have any more experience with the SV reels now that winter is finally over.   Going to buy this week.   Too many options for my first Daiwa reel.  Thanks

What do the 103 or 105 offer that the Tatula does not have?   The hype with Tatula (and the Daiwa quality I have discovered and most of their reels) is what got me thinking of getting one of these.  I am totally up for getting any of them, just curious.  Thanks again!  

They are made in different countries. The Tatulas are made in Thailand the SV105 &103 are made in Japan. 

Too much info to absorb it all in one read thru. Thanks guys. 

 

I bought Tat SV at Bassmaster Classic, but haven't  used it much yet. Need to get to the dock-filled lakes soon.
