Been living under a rock all winter long, please update me.

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

It's an SS SV with a new 32 mm spool. The other changes are obvious. Hopefully the spool becomes available for purchase.

2nd that!!!! Looks perfect for 12lb FC. Eliminates the need for backing. Im currently using the 1012 Steez SV TW and I need a little backing.

Someone told me just a bit ago that it wouldn't work in the 1016 reels, which include the Steez SV (almost all variants), Zillion SV TW, etc. Really made me sad, I'd like a semi-BFS G1 spool.

The spool would work in those reels you would just have to put in spacers to keep line from getting behind the spool (1mm thickness all the way around to make up the 2mm spool difference). Or you could use this spool in the AIR reels directly to have a bit more line capacity.
