I wanted to know if anyone had tried this combo of spool and reel ? What do you think of the performance?
Also if you have a purple kahen spool, is it the same purple as the bumpers in the reel?

Re: Kahen Spool In a SV103xs
No not the same color it would be hedgehog royal purple vs. deep purple on the sv103. I haven't personally tried the combo but have various Kahen spools. I'm sure a neo would work well performance wise, but doesn't fit my needs due to spool capacity and how I wanna use my 103. I use it for heavier duty applications.

I have a couple of reels that I am trying to get together
3 are the sv103 and like you i have moved to heavier applications for them. X7 EMTF, X7 Super Rakkai and soon the X7 F7-71
I have a steez EX that has purple accents but its pissing me off because i just can't seem to do something different to it that I haven't done to any other steez platforms.. Today when the wife when to the store, i ran away with my Super destruction and Steez LTD with Kahen spool. I loved it so much that I said i'd pull the trigger on anther spool. KTF site was still out of them but I found a couple on a different site but they were marked up. However I did find some OG cork knobs for a very loooow price when converted back to USD and that was including the calculated shipping.
Anyways, that kahen spool was the bee's knees elbows and eyebrows. I really enjoyed that setup today. So much so I was thinking I could get the finesse version of that kahen spool in this lonely steez. I had hoped my adreana rod would be here by now and I would put the steez on it but its been pushed back. I made two orders today with recycled funds from the tackle trap, and they called me because I inadvertently made an error which I am glad they caught.
I went the purple route because I dont like a lot of red and I've done sky blue and all black. Purple is a pain in the neck but I did find me some purple SLP knobs as well for a good price.. Thanks again buddy. I was waiting for an answer before i went to bed and dreamed about what I need to do next...lol

Re: Kahen Spool In a SV103xs
No worries. Since you have the neo already you might try the finesse versatile spool. They are really good especially for 1/4 and under. I have one in a steez sv older version and it's pretty awesome. i throw under 1/8 tw rigs all day on it at a small pond with 1/32 or 1/16 oz heads and 2" keiteich easy shiners and I love it. The only spool I've found to match the steez ex 8.1 and sv103 7.9 are the older purple 1012 sv spools. You will lose a few yards of capacity but it will match . I know what you mean about something different though. I'm sitting on a ton of royal purple parts that are rare or discontinued waiting for the right reel to come along. Digitaka sells a couple different color bumpers for the SV103 from other model zillions and if you change them out to say gunmetal from the j dream, or black from the zillion CC plus the reel nut plate you don't have to worry about matching the deep purple. You can change whatever other part to royal purple /zpi violet, or whatever color you like and it will look nice. Tackle trap sells them also but have been out of lefty for a while and I'm not sure about righty. I have the limited edition SLP metallic deep purple knobs on my sv103, and they look pretty slick on it. The search for parts is fun for me. A lot of the good stuff especially in purple is discontinued or just hard to find, and it's difficult to make a reel look unique and different than other reels i've seen here on TT. You almost gotta go custom paint at this point on older reels.goldrod wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 8:37 pmThanks for the money saving tip..domthewon wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 8:15 pmNo not the same color it would be hedgehog royal purple vs. deep purple on the sv103.

Re: Kahen Spool In a SV103xs
Sorry, but I should have said the Steez 105 purple spool instead of the 1012 purple spool. I have the steez 105 in mine I thought they might be the same spool, but it looks like there might be differences. I am not positive since I have never tried the 1012 version though. i just called it the 1012 because of the newer steez 1016's vs1012's regular vs. shallow. I completely forgot there were 2 different purple spools. I don't want to mislead anybody with my previous response.
