Got the sv light Ltd today and am feeling good about it. Negligible difference between the Steez. Gorgeous reel out of the box.

Re: SV Light Limited

Thanks for the replies. So it sounds like any of the 32mm sv spools would work. Although they are all similar shallow. I’m contemplating running a light braid or copolymer line and curious for the BFS spools what is preferred?

Re: SV Light Limited

Bringing this topic back to life. I just picked a SV light LTD and would also like to know if there is a higher capacity spool available to use on this reel?

Re: EVA real seat hood

Be sure to use your reel to determine exactly how many threads to cut from the seat and the needed length of the KDPS when complete. That's usually 1/4 to 3/8" of threads to be trimmed off. Careful though, you can't add it back after you have cut it off......don't ask how I know..... :oops: I like ...

Re: Moisture build up in guides

What's the worry if you have good guides. Blanks should not succumb to moisture.

Re: I need a custom builder for an EVA grip

EVA is one of the easier things to customize. Another reason to build with them.

Re: New Fuji Reel Foregrip!

part of my normal build is to eliminate as much exposed thread as possible. This means cutting down the threads and gluing the thread portion of the seat correctly to where the hood is fully tightened with the reel that i intend to mount on my rod. I want to make rods lighter weight, not add things...

Re: Grip material weight comparison

I always thought cork weighed the least! Great information
