I've owned a Luvias and applied the 7 bearing upgrade kit. It was a great reel. I liked the feel of my Certate more but it was still a nice reel. With the current exchange rate I'd say the Luvias is the best ~$200 reel and the Certate is the best ~$250 reel. Although you have to find a sale to get ...

the normal SV wouldn't work?

for the $200 it cannot be beat.

I didn't really liked the Ci4 2500 i own.

Would this spool fit into the Zonda? Or do i need an SV spool that is made for Alphas since they share same spools? I want some purple spool for it!

Any SV spool that fits the Ryoga 1016 would fit the Zonda68? Can't seem to find what spool would fit in that reel.

They're both in the same price range. Which one would be better for light lures (under 3/8oz) and is more refined? Im aware of the SV spool being pretty good for lighter stuff but how would the Zonda 68 fare against it? Can i get an SV spool for the Zonda68? If so, would it outcast the Alphas?

So an SV1000 spool *the shallower version* and an RCS 90mm handle. Is there anything else worth upgrading on the Ryoga? What about the knobs?

Currently using the Stradic Ci4/Sol 2000 for walleye fishing and thinking of selling them both. What are my options if i were to buy a new spinning reel for under $250? Luvias looks pretty good but how reliable is that thing?

Daiwa simply because i much prefer Mag Z.

Are there any differences between the RCS1000SV and RCS1000SV Deep when it comes to casting range? I will most likely be using 10lb fluro or 10-12lb sufix832 on the SV spool.

Would that be possible? Reason im asking is because i mostly fish from shore and don't always have multiple rods with me. Just received my Ryoga two weeks ago (my first JDM reel too :D ) and love it so much that i want to use it for everything! So i was thinking of getting another spool but not sure...
