Re: Reviews out on new 2018 Ryoga?
My calcutta 400 (400d usdm) line capacity is 180m of 0.30mm 40lb braidx4,
Re: Reviews out on new 2018 Ryoga?
The braid looks thicker than 0.28mm to me, but I could be wrong. It is notoriously difficult to measure the actual diameter of braided lines. One of the most reliable methods is used on the braid testing thread on Stripersonline. By weighing the mass (M) of a one metre length of braid on accurate scales, and using a density of 0.85Mg/mm**3, you can back-figure the diameter using the formula
D= sqrt(4*M/(1000*0.85*pi))
D= sqrt(4*M/(1000*0.85*pi))

I believe that is 1520 shown. I think. Looking at photos perhaps line measured within gauge and line installed are not same? They appear different color. Either way, I do hope you enjoy the reel.

There is no way to be certain the line diameter the manufacture used to determine the spec, or how full/tightly they fill the spool, but according to your report, my 13 metanium has more capacity than your 1520 ryoga. I may not get 100% capacity, but I sure as heck isnt getting 60%. Something's wrong and I don't know what, but all my low profile reels including zillion SV TW and aldebaran has comparable line capacity to your large size ryoga, and thats not right.wandyhee wrote:mind to explain in detail on what is correct way to spool up main line to achieve 100% as per given spec?bigturtle wrote:I think you're doing something wrong if you only get 60% capacity every time. I find it extremely hard to believe the 1520 spool cant even fit 100 yards of 40lb braid.

Thanks, I did try measure few times using calliper but never get the same result. First 2 try I get 0.3X, those 0.28 that I get is with slight pressure to get thinnest diameterStrewth wrote:The braid looks thicker than 0.28mm to me, but I could be wrong.

it's mutlicolors braided line, different color for every 10 meters length. thanksGOOD YEAR 71 wrote:I believe that is 1520 shown. I think.

Could be due to inconsistent line diameter of cheap kastking brand that I use. will look for another main line soonbigturtle wrote:There is no way to be certain the line diameter the manufacture used to determine the spec, or how full/tightly they fill the spool, but according to your report, my 13 metanium has more capacity than your 1520 ryoga.

Kastking braid on a Ryoga? Hang your head in shame.

The old Ryoga was tried and proven on PNG black Bass and Asian Giant Snakehead, will wait for reviews as to how well micro gears hold up.

Is there an updated ETA on when the US version is going to be available?

Tackle trap told me end of June for the 1520 size the 1016 might be available before that if not already I think tackle direct has some in stock ?
Re: Reviews out on new 2018 Ryoga?
well, i'm going to replace it soon, maybe with j-braid x8 or sufix 832. but still prefer multicolors line and I saw j-braid x8 available in multicolorsTim Kelly wrote:Kastking braid on a Ryoga? Hang your head in shame.

Did few field test using lures in pictures, retrieving are still super smooth. that's really satisfying me

I just spooled my Ryoga 1520 with 0.40mm mono line. I got 278 feet (~92-93 yards) on.
Daiwa specs it at 100m/110yards for 0.37mm line. Seems pretty accurate to me.

Hi Guys,
I have spare 1016SV spool and I am pretty sure it will fit perfectly for 2018 Ryoga.
The question is has anyone have tried that before? If yes, Does it make any differences compare to the original spool?
Thanks in advance.
