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.

Your Fuego has the same magnets as a TD-Z so that Ito spool is still going to need a lot of thumb to control.

A Type R+ spool and HLC spring will really wake up the 100M.

Is the HLC spring stiffer than a R+?

That I'm not sure of, but I think it is.

Just a note to go with my vote for the 100M. Add an R+ inductor and HLC spring and that'll make it an amazingly versatile spool. Really frees it up without making it unnecessarily wild.
Besides the 100m spool being hard to find, is the r+ inductor available from online sources?
I was able to get a couple of inductors directly from Daiwa but that was a little while ago. I've heard that their parts supply side of things hasn't been on the ball lately. You might want to call and find out if you can get it. The stock inductor isn't bad by any stretch, it's just that the R+ really frees it up without making it insane.

One other thing you might want to know about is that there are two red PE Special spools. One is the I'ze Factory one that isn't ported, and the other is the stock spool that comes with the red and blue 7.9 PE Special (it's slotted). That might be the one some folks are thinking about when commenting. The stock, slotted spool is harder to come by.
I ended up buying a 100m spool but is this the red PE Spool that you were referring to?

It's the one I meant when I started the post. I actually didn't know about the I'ze red PE Spool. Thanks for the info.
Yup that's the one.

Enjoy the 100M stock, but try to get an R+ inductor and HLC spring, just for fun :big grin:
I just put a steez 103 r+ spool in my tdz and i love it. Would adding a r+ inductor and spring to the 100m spool basically make it a 36mm Tdz 103 r+ spool in the Fuego?

That's exactly what it does, you owe yourself to try it.

I recently picked up another 100M spool from Adam for a Zillion project. Looks like I'm going to have to try the rotor and spring swap.

Where are you guys sourcing the R+ rotor? Does Daiwa USA have them? or can dem good ol boys in Bama find them?

Dem Bama boys are a good source for that sort of thing.

We’ve got some on order here at The Tackle Trap. These are starting to get harder to acquire, but we will have quite a few.
