I thought the TDZ-lineguide won´t fit to the Alphas platform

What´s taobao? Never heard of that.

I believe the cause for concern here is the holes on, what I call the bulkhead, of the spool where it attaches to the shaft. A locked down drag and some pulling force can shear the spokes created by the holes and destroy the spool. Thanks a lot. I never paid attention to that part of the spool. Tha...

Thanks guys, but I don´t think that a weight difference of 0,5 gramm between holes and no holes will have a significant effect on casting distance. You might be right regarding stability. But what should happen? You think the spool might get crushed? Only if you pull against something VERY heavy or ...

When you order your DIY Pixy spool and you leave a message to the seller indicating that you want a spool without holes, I would suggest using phrases like (NO HOLES) rather than (without holes). I ordered my TD Zillion spool without holes and got one with holes. Why did you order a spool without h...

Hi folks, I got my DIY spool for Alphas a couple of days ago. I installed it in my Finesse Custom, spooled it up with 75m of 6lb Machinegun Cast and mounted it on a 2-6lb UL-Troutrod. The spool seems to be more wild and with less control than the stock spool with fixed inductor. But it casts lighter...

Hi, I just recieved my Air BFS kit for my Alphas Air. I realized that the larger spool bearing has the right inner and outer diameter but is 0,5mm thinner than the original. The kit contained no spacers or washers, so I´m a little confused. I remember the kit for the Alphas Finesse Custom having a s...

Hi folks, just picked up my Air from the .... customs :evil: What a great reel :) I like it even more than the SV. Two things I noticed that might be interesting for you: - The spoolbearings are very good. They look different than the standart Daiwa bearings, more like micro-ball-finesse-bearings. T...

Beautiful reel! BayCasting Special is one of my alltime favorites
But one question: Mine needs new gears and I saw yours was upgraded to 6.8:1. What kind of gears did you put in? And were there any adjustments neccesary or did they just fit in?

Kind Regards

Hello, today I tested my new Alphas SV SHL for the first time. I wanted to find out if there really is no need to thumb or if it´s just rumor since I´ve never casted a SV-spool before. So I spooled it up with 150m of 15lbs braid and mounted it on my troutstick. Without knowing how to exactly set the...

YES! After reading this I tried again. The spool from the old 103L Type F fits in the 105SHL SV. Haven´t had any combination of reel/spool of the above mentioned models that are not compatible.
Looks like the inside diameter of the pinion is the same in all the alphas I own.

Best Regards

Hi, the spools from the 103 F, IzeFactory sparespool, 105H Finesse Custom and the 105SV are interchangeable. I just tried it. The different size of shaft and bearing is compensated with that collar around the spoolshaft-bearing. The part of the shaft that fits into the pinion (hope it´s the right wo...

Thanks guys. What a pitty How come they never made aftermarket spools for such popular reels?

Hello, I would like to tune my Chronarch 50MG with a new spool in order to throw very light baits < 4gr. I was wondering if there are any spools available for the Curado 100D/Chronarch 50MG platform. The spool from the Scorpion MG is too small (spoolshaft), and the stock spool from the Curado 100B (...
