I have a quick question. Is the TALT3000-CXH frame the same as the TALT3000D-CXH? Is the difference the spool?

Pretty much across the board, the frames are the same, just the spool depths change.

S - Shallow spool

D - Deep spool

_ - Standard spool (no S or D in the model)

 

I like buying JDM for my spinning reels now as you can get standard spool in almost any size where as for the most part you can only get deep spools buying USDM.
