I've got a couple spools of some 40lb. I like it and comes at a great price but it doesn't seem like anything totally unique on its own. Reminds me a lot of Sufix 832.

I really like the idea of a Mod-fast rod for frogs. Was looking at the Fitzgerald Bryan Thrift frog rod so maybe thats an option. Sounds like I'll have to give Dobyns a try since they seem to be a leader in the bass industry. It definitely would be really cool to see someone compile all the rods on ...

Those rods sound like great suggestions price is a factor for me. I was looking for one brand specifically to run a certain way hoping to get a good model without spending a whole lot of money. But perhaps these characteristics I'm talking about are just something you find in a high end, well made f...

So I've heard that yes Abu and St Croix fish stiffer. But from my experience when comparing a heavy rated rod between the two, the St Croix still bends deeper into into the blank than the Abu which seems like a pool stick. I was actually considering the 74H Mojo but cant get my hands on any of the r...

So I've been in the market for a new frog rod because I'm not all that pleased with the action of the one I'm using currently. I have been fishing a 13 Omen 2 71MH and the backbone is too stiff when fighting a fish as it seems like only the top 20% of the rod bends under load. This would be fine wit...

Cool write up! That would serve as the perfect buyers guide to people looking to try out a new line.

If I'm not mistaken the SV103 comes with a 90mm gray handle.

Upon further research it looks like the 103 spool isn't even compatible with the T3. Whats more confusing is that you're all saying it works fine!

I know there is a difference in spool shaft length between 103 and T3 spools. I thought with 103 reels when inserting a T3 spool you needed to back off on the CC knob and shim a T3 to take a 103 spool but I might have that backwards. Try backing off or removing the CC knob to see if it fits then. T...

The bearing that's on the stock spool is a different size with wider inner and outer diameter. It doesn't fit in that cup.... I'm thinking the problem could be with the rotor but I'm just not sure at this point.

Have just got a T3 1016 and when I try to drop an SV103 spool in it the reel will not spin. it seems like the magnets on the spool and the palm side plate don't line up properly or something. I have a DIY long cast spool that fits the T3 fine and the SV103 spool fits the reel it came in. Am I missin...

The C and E are awesome reels. Cannot attest to their other models but for the price the C is a great reel and there's lots of other people who feel the same way.

Can anyone who uses it specifically with the G1 SV spool chime in on the performance difference, if any at all?

I have been wondering the same question... I heard the guys at tackletrap can install a spring that will speed up the spool a bit. Perhaps someone has had that done?

Its not junk but probably not gonna have the same characteristics as smackdown. More like affordable powerpro braid
