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.

A Tatula 100 SV would be nice. Right now the Tat SV is my favorite bang for the buck reel. Something with the same performance in a smaller and lighter form factor would be nice.

I can get behind this, maybe the new owners read the forum.

A lot of guys here have always said they wanted smaller version of the Z2020-basically a compact, solid aluminum reel with Magforce 3D braking and a 1016 size spool so we could have a myriad of spool options to try in it. It's always interesting to see how different spools behave in different reels. For example, I have found that the OG Steez 100 spool works fantastic in my TDZ 105H. Even with the mag dial turned down to 2-3, it is still controlled and will bomb anything over 1/4 oz.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Yep. If man could love a machine then I would love my SV Zillion with Steez 103 spool with HLC spring. Magforce = '4' can be cast into the wind without worries. And casts heavy weights in power casts almost as long as HLC does. But still I would like better reel than SV Zillion. I'm not sure is Steez A that. Weights almost same as SV Zillion but doesn't have brass gears. With Z1016 I would be in heaven.

I often dream of this too. How is the durability of the Aldebaran? Could an XG hold up to flipping light cover?

Ive been tempted to swap my XG gears from my 16 Aldebaran BFS with an Aldebaran MGL HG....very tempting :-k

I wish that ZPI would start making BFS parts for the newer Aldebarans.

You could get get a 12 Aldebaran BFS XG and have a reel with 8.0:1 gears and plenty of line capacity for a Pop Max. It looks like our beloved 09 Aldebaran and XT1000 except it’s a tad smaller.
