What is your favorite Reel/Spool for 5" Senko Fishing?
I am sure this question has been posed many times on these boards, but I would like to get a fresh take on everyone's opinion factoring in all the current reel and spool options available. So....What is your absolute best performing reel/spool configuration for sheer distance when throwing an weightless 5" Senko?
The best I have found so far in my experience is the T3 SV, but in the search for the latest and greatest the tackle monkey is again calling...

I have a tuned fuego with a 100m spool and Upgraded bearings on a dx 703 that can bomb senkos a country mile. Same thing with flukes which is what it is mostly used for.

Chronarch CI4+. Used to be my T3 1016, but the CI4+ can sling 'em like no other.

I also have a tuned Fuego with a TDZ 100M spool that really shines. I have a Scorpion XT with a Yumeya spool that is brilliant

103 Steez is my favorite. I tend to pitch them to cover more than bombing them though.

I've used a bunch and most are serviceable. I will say that when I got the new Chronarch Ci4, based in where I took it to test it out, a Senko was my main bait...and it threw it phenomenally well.

I have a purple alpha 103 on a nrx 893 and it works great for weightless senko and I also use it for casting skinny dippers.
