The spool performed pretty similar to the ZPI magnesium RC-002 shallow spool.Fast start up and extreme control.The sweet spot for this spool is around 1/2 oz.This makes it an amazing spool for pitching,best I have used
It is very difficult to over wind even on the 'long cast' setting on the T3.As mentioned the extreme control is this spools strong point.
Daiwa mentions that the 1010 spool is designed for short range pinpoint casting with accuracy and ease of use being the key.
I also managed to toss 1/2 oz baits very long distances so this spool seems to be rather versatile.
It is not a finesse spool and should not be used for these purposes,there are better options out there for the light stuff.
These tests were carried out on the T3,I have a 1010 in my Steez as well.Still need to test this one but expect the results to be very similar.
The Zaion 'air' skeleton knobs feel great in hand and function as they should.They also look real 'cool'.I would highly recommend them.
