Very nice upgrade. I'm debating myself to get the avail spool for xg. But a little concerned about changing the break block. Is that easy to do? I'm not a big fan of the avail magnet break as too much hassle to change the setting.

Thanks all for the reponse. I started with default 2-2 setup and it turned out to be pretty consistent for throwing a 1/16jig with a 2" baby shad. Distance wise, very close to the MB Finese spool.

I have been thinking about T3 air for a while and it looks like it can be had for less than $650. Very tempting... I hope Yen continues to drop.

I acquired a BFC 732 spool recently to take advantage of the rise of mighty $. The spool weights only 6.5g . I found the instruction on the magnet adjustement is not that straigtforward. Just wondering if someone has experience with the ZPI finesse spool can shed some lights on it. Thanks,

Bought two spools from Brad and very smooth transaction and communication. Thanks.

Just wondering if anyone have experience with these IXA bearings? The price is reasonable. Are these KTF bearings? Thanks in advance.

That's great! Thanks for the feedback. One thing I noticed is that the spool inductor is relatively thicker than stock spools. I guess that the spool will pick up more break force (magnetic force) under same settings than stock spool. Is there any gains in performance by have a thicker inductor?

Got this spool from a TDZ. Does anyone know what's kind spool is this? It doesn't look like a stock one. My guess is a ZPI. Sorry for the poor picture (I guess I need a new phone) and thanks for the input.

"for typical finesse bass fishing applications, i have not seen anything better(not even my beloved presso )" Cannot agree more. I've been using it for fishing crappie for a few months now (paired with a ultra-light casting rod built on LSJ 840). For 1/16 crappie jig head plus 1.5~2" grubs, it's bet...

When your knobs cost more than the reel of your fishing buddy.

One day when your 2 year old would like to play with you and brings you your favorite pixy along with his favorite Thomas and says " Daddy, your toy!"

Mine still shows up the tracking info is not available. The spool looks great!

Will try on an Alphas-R first.

Received shipment notice from JPF yesterday. The spool is on the way...

I put the smoke handle on my orange pixy. It looks not as good as it's on PX-R. The star drag on the orange pixy looks ugly as you can see most of it due to the design of smoke handle. Wish the smoke star drag works on the old pixies.

Will the drag star from a quantum smoke casting reel fit on Daiwa Alphas/Pixy (pre PXR version)? Thanks in advance for the info. I do know the handle fits well. Really like the looking of the smoke drag stars.
