You can also ditch the flouro and use braid to flouro leader with reduced brake settings.  Heavier flouro is like trying to cast a slinky.  It inevitably adds quite a bit of friction on the cast and has a hard time getting out of its own way and down the guides.  This makes the user compensate with higher brake settings or even spool tension to get the line to behave. If max casting distance for a free rig is your goal when a steez hlc would be good but again this hyper long casting reel needs baits and line that are conducive to hyper long casting.  You go spooling a slinky onto one and then throw a spinnerbait then good luck.

You can also just buy a zillion sv boost spool and drop it in the steez a.  No need to replace entire reels when looking to change braking profiles.  The daiwa 34 mill spools offer a lot of options both stock and aftermarket. 

Are you referring to the stock spool that comes with the 21 Zillion SV TW? Looking to get more distance with the Steez A for bladed jigs and spinnerbaits.

Yes.  It drops in.

Thanks. And this spool in the Steez A should get more distance with 1/2 - 1 oz baits vs. the stock Steez A spool in the Steez A? Appreciate the feedback.

Depending on the bait.  Some baits just catch wind and cast poorly while others shoot off into the horizon.  You can't force a spinnerbait or glide bait to cast any further than they want to.  The sv boost spool from the zillion 1000 is considered an upgrade in the steez a and sv tw for distance casting so its worth a shot.
