Daiwa Alphas sv105 spool upgrade
Did anyone upgrade alphas sv 105 stock spool to SLP works alphas sv spool, I'm wondering if it is worth the upgrade. Looks to weight 11 g and same capacity as stock spool. Looking to improve casting ability of lighter baits.
Thanks
Thanks

First off, welcome to the forum. I have owned a red SLPW SV105 spool and it offered no upgrade over the stock spool, unless you count the pretty colors that are available. I sold mine off after I realized that. However, it is a fantastic upgrade for any other Alphas platfom. I have 3 of the stock black spools added to a Finesse Custom, a Sol and a Type F.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Of note is Pike's post about running the ito spool. That's one I've thought about as well. In general, it seems non-sv spools in SV reels run pretty fast. I haven't had the best luck doing it the other way around (SV spools in pre-sv reels).
Other spools worth checking out would be the 2(or is it 3?) versions of KTF spools, the cosugi spool, and rays DIY.
And as mentioned previously, running some bfs oriented bearings with light oil will definitely make a difference. I'd start there personally.

I got the white inductor ramp to prevent sticking (never had it stick) and was told the next step should also be BFS style bearings... I use my 105 on a ML rod for drop shot and finesse, TT said it should really help with 3/16 and under.
Re: Daiwa Alphas sv105 spool upgrade
I've upgraded bearings with HH air bearings and noticed difference. This is my all around reel for weights mostly between 1/8 and 1/2oz. It is mounted on ML rod, I mostly fish for bass and occasional pike in pressured ponds in urban area with fish mostly under 5lb. I'll probably stick with what I have for now.
