SV103 Spool or 1016 spool

[E73Bass]

Close quarters pitching and flipping (less then 10 yards (3/8 oz to 1 oz weight) in a TD-Z 103. Using Braid.

Which spool would you use for least wildness and most smoothness on a TD-Z 103 ?
One or the other perform better with braid ?

Neither
You should be looking at the SV105 for that close of range instead of the SV103. Startup will be better with the shallower spool. The 1016 was OK, but I would take the SV over it for control and consistency. If you already have both, test them out.

You won't need an sv spool for that. The 1016 is great for flipping duty and runs cheaper. If you were trying to pitch Ned rigs or something, it'd be a different story, but for what you're talking about, any difference in performance would be negligible. I flip just fine with my tatula type r and never saw a need to go any other route. Either will be fine for braid. Plus the spool you should be considering if a 1016 fits that reel is an sv1000 or sv1012 (same spool, different colors).

He has a TD-Z, the 1xxx and 1xx spools all fit it.

I will be going with the 1016. Wanted the 103sv spool cause I think of the 105 as a shallow spool made for 8-12 lb diameter and less then 3/8 oz baits. Also more lines means I don't run out of line due to many reties during the day and allowing break offs. One of my biggest pet peeves with the braid to fluoro situation is re-attaching new fluoro leader when I should be fishing.

I don't think any of the spools are going to get wild. I agree with the SV105 suggestion for your application. Let the spool do most of the work for you. If any fluff is yo be had, I would think it would be with 1016, but even then it's not likely.
On a side note I have the same reel with an SV1000 deep spool. I had a 1016 in there previously. I use mine for mostly covering water with small swimbaits. I can let her rip with no thumb, take a quick power nap, and when I stop watching the back of my eyelids the bait is still sailing through the air. Bit of an exaggeration, but this reel screams get some!

I have a t3 with an sv1000 shallow and HHS ceramic air bearings that use for BFS but would have no qualms whatsoever about spooling it up with 65 # braid and pitching 1 oz jigs into a brush pile. It's perfectly suited for either task. They're awesome. "super versatile" is no joke. But for just shortlining 1/2 oz jigs, the 1016 will work just as well.

-As I stated I am going with the 1016 spool.

-But am also curious why so many think the 105 size spool will be a better spool then the 103 size for "up to" 1 oz setups.

I have plenty of SV spools:


Just wanted to know any advantages b/w the 2 spools as I do not have a 1016 spool and wondered what advantage I may see with the 1016 over the 103SV spool for the application mentioned.

Really sv1000 and sv1012 are same spool? Must be talkin about the sv1000 shallow.....all along since its introdcution in late 2013...the RCS1000SV was said to be the same as the Steez SV105 and SV103.

wonder if the RCS1000SV series will be going away now since the sv1012 has been introduced.

I dumped my 1016 in favor of a SV105. With the distances you mention the 105 size means less line on the spool so less you need to spool up. You'll be wasting lots of line or running lots of backing to fill the 103 size. In your weight range you probably wont see much performance gain between the 103 and 105, maybe a bit more distance with ease at 3/8oz. The 1016 may see a slight edge in overall distance when casting, but in a pitching application the control of any SV spool wins hands down.

Right, the 1012 and 1000 shallow are identical aside from color. I just said sv1000 because the deep spool is the one that gets the differentiation. It's the same as a steez sv105 aside from the diameter of the spool shaft. That's why I would go with a 1000 or 1012 if your reel will accept it because it will fit the pinion better. Whether or not they get rid of it won't matter unless you have to have one in gold.

As for pitching, in my opinion the inductor makes little difference since your brakes are close to off and spool tension is so low and you don't take your thumb off the spool. I don't, anyway, whether I'm using an sv spool or not. Like I said, in that arena I really don't think there's a difference between a 1016 and sv103. Just my .02, though.
