Looking for some feedback on the deep Zonda spool in an Alphas R Edition. How does it behave? Is it like a Type R+ in an OG Steez or a little less loosey goosey...? What do you use yours for?
Thanks!

It has both great control and distance in any Alphas platform.adam lancia wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 6:01 pmLooking for some feedback on the deep Zonda spool in an Alphas R Edition. How does it behave? Is it like a Type R+ in an OG Steez or a little less loosey goosey...? What do you use yours for?

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Very different from my R+. My R+ feels like a SVS centrifugal Shimano spool almost. Fast and very free at the end of the cast. The Zonda behaves a little different. To back the dial off enough to make it as free as the R+ towards the end of the cast to will want to fluff up mid cast. This can be compensated with a smoother casting stroke. Don't bomb it and force more distance out it. Once you get it dialed it is an effortless and smooth caster.adam lancia wrote: ↑Wed Jul 01, 2020 6:01 pmLooking for some feedback on the deep Zonda spool in an Alphas R Edition. How does it behave?

Re: Deep Zonda spool in Alphas R Edition
I really like the R+ spool, it excels with 1/4 oz pop r's and 12# line. I found the Zonda spools works better with heavier test line and heavier baits. I like both spools better than the SV spools.
