How would you pair this up?

Hi all,

I am a bit one of these first world dilemmas. I hav a bunch of Daiwa reels and spools and I am playing around with some ideas on how to best match them up for the techniques that I am planning to use them for.

Would love to get your thoughts:


Reels:
* 2019 Morethan (8.6)
* Steez SV TW (7.1)
* Steez A TW (8.1)
* Zillion SV TW (7.3)
* extra spool from Daiwa SV103

Techniques that I am planning to use:

* Heavy Jig and Paddle tail swimbait
** currently planning: Morethan and the Steez A spool with 16# fluro on Daiwa Steez SVF-XBD Frog Rod

* 3/8 - 1/2 oz Jig and Worms
** Currently planning: Steez SV TW with Steez SV TW spool, 12# fluro on ZBONE 7'6 MH

* Small cranks and poppers
** Currently planning: Zillion with spool from SV103 with 8# Mono on Megabass Swingfire

* Medium Jigs and Paddle tails (that is mainly used for skipping docks)
** Currently planning: Steez A with Zillion spool and 30 # braid with 15# Shooter Defier Armilo leader and Megabass Spinnerbait Special


This would currently leave the Morethan spool as a back up.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for the feedback!

Cheers,
Seb.

I would go with the Zillion/SV103 on the SVD with the 16 floro. The Sv103 spool is deep and is a good caster in the Zillion.
The Morethan would go on the swingfire, the stock morethan spool should hold plenty of 8lb.
Just my .02 All in all some badass combos you have there!

I think I prefer the Morethan + Steez A spool for two reasons:

1. the Steez A spool holds quite a bit of more line
2. The Morethan is a 8.6 gear ratio which works much better for the techniques.

Also I would feel that I am wasting one of my best reels (Morethan) on the Swingfire combo
