I think a CT, whether the Steez, Alphas, or Millionaire would absolutely SCREAM with a 1oz weight. I run 8lb fluorocarbon on mine (think they all have the same spool)., and even a 3/16 jighead with plastic seems to load the spool. I do have a ML rod, but using a 3.5gram head with a 2" Easy Shiner really spins that spool hard. Personally, I think any of the CT reels max around 1/2oz, from my experience with that spool at least.jwalker497 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 12, 2023 8:15 amI like the smaller body reels especially with these lighter rods.
but when i go out i don’t have a boat so sometimes i’m throwing all kinds of stuff on 1 rod and reel.
I just want to make sure the smaller CT can handle up to ounce if need be.
And the SV can handle a little over 1oz on occasion
I’m assuming the steez A, i don’t have any is a bigger body reel than even the Steez SV
As far as durability goes, I haven't seen anyone mention a Steez CT or any CT reel getting rough, but I figure most aren't using them for heavier duty applications.
