I agree and disagree about the thought of lighter spools. I use my Sols TD-Xs and even my old school Daiwa Prolites PL100. I will throw my flatsided baits with any of these reels and never have a problem with distance and my baits are all balsa. Jeff Wow! I hadn't heard the Daiwa Prolite come up in...
