1016 spool is a great spool.....you should try one before spending a bunch of money... I have one in an sv103xs and I like it alot

I bought the wrong size hooks and plan on flipping holes in Lilly pads

I have mine on a cork crucial 6'8" med rod
use it for all that you mentioned and more.. i put a 4 brake block on it.. everytime i think about selling it
