Did you switch the stock and the I'ze spool weights?

Everything I've seen leads me to believe the standard spool is 16.6 gm and the I'ze/type R/Ito Al spools are at 15.3 gm.

Looks like the only functional difference from stock to these three spools is the addition of a few round ports on the arbor.


Man I'd love to get my hands on one of those Honeycombs or the Cosugi in purple!! :D

You don't have the Type R listed, do you have the specs on it?

Spent the last few months with my zonda spool and i feel its the best spool around for casting hard baits. I regularly use this spool with 10lb p-line 100% for square bill baits and jerkbaits. The spool casts a good distance with plenty of line left after a cast to fight a fish, and i have had almost no over runs. I don't know how much different the inductor is but i love this spool. The few times i tried it for pitching is when i got the over runs so i did not keep trying as i was just playing and i did not want to destroy my line that i was still fishing with. The V shaped spools most likely would do a better job as they would be lighter loaded up with braid than a zonda filled with flouro. I might spend more time trying to pitch but thats not why i got this spool to begin with.

So is the new sv spool any better than the zonda spool??? Wish someone would do a side by side.

I enjoy the SV103. Type R, and Zonda spools all for different things. My favorite is the Type R for casting 1/4 oz.Pop R's.

They're different animals. One is a deep, heavy fast spool while the other is a light weight, shallow controlled spool. I prefer the zonda spool for 1/4 to 3/8 oz search baits casting for distance coving water and prefer the Alphas SV spool for jigs and plastics casting to targets or skipping dock as well as BFS use.

Sweet. I use my zonda spool for crankbaits on top of a steez flex lite medium rod. Pitching a crank ot a target is a bad idea but it casts so nice...

I like the Zonda spool for heavier weights also, though it casts well even with lighter stuff (with 15# braid). The SV spool does handle lighter baits better, with virtually no backlash.

Tim is right. I love the SV for lighter baits. Effortless.
