Alphas sv tw with some line capacity

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Quite heavy spools on these new Daiwas. Will be interesting to hear about performance with light weight baits.

Not quite as much. These spools are 32mm. The CT reels have 28mm spools.

The spool is narrow on these spools. IDK directly compared to the CT, as I sold my Steez. These spools are more narrow than the SS AIR, SV Light 32mm spools...by quite a bit. You can see half of the inductor in the spool opening in the frame when you put the Alphas SV TW spool in the SS AIR.

So does anyone know the weight of the new Alphas SV TW? I don't remember the weight of my old SV105 spool either...

I've got the SV105 spool at 13.4 grams with bearing.

Nice, we need a locked thread for all Daiwa/Shimano spools weights, any other brand is welcome too, just seems that is what we hunt for the most...

Are these new alphas the same size frame as the older ones? A buddy of mine that has the new zillion and the alpha says they feel similar in size however somebody else said they are smaller more closer to an aldebaran frame. Can you confirm? Also, is the alphas ct sv a smaller frame than new alpha sv tw?

New alphas sv tw is narrower and sits lower on the rod vs alphas ct, where alphas ct is little shorter than new alphas.

Spool weight is not everything, but I suppose we can agree that it is has an impact on spool performance especially when throwing light weight lures. I have not had the time to dissect all the info released by Daiwa on SV Boost spools, but I seem to remember that commercials say the spools are great for light weight lures. Personally, I have been a little surprised with how heavy the spools are if meant for light weight baits.

While you may joke about it (?), I would appreciate a locked thread or better yet a continuously updated table with info on spools including weight, diameter, brake/inductor type etc :lol:
