Spool options for a RYOGA 1520H?

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.

Spool options for a RYOGA 1520H?

Post by Houndfish » Fri Oct 25, 2019 2:16 pm

I want to get a second spool for my Ryoga but don't know much about the 36mm spool universe. The two lines I want to use are 25lb Defier Armilo (.0159"/.405mm) and 50lb Power Pro braid (.0140"/.360mm). The reel is on a MB Super Red Demon and I am going to use it for small/medium swimbaits and large topwaters. I will use the mono the most often but I switch to braid when fishing larger (6-7") paddle tails in cover. I think the stock 1520 spool will be fine for the mono but I would love to find one for the braid that is shallower and will give me a bit more casting distance. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

This spool was released recently, probably have to find one from auction site now. Also there's HLC 1514&1516, depending on what size lures you plan on throwing.

The 1516 HLC would be a good option, holds a bunch of 50lb. braid and will sling a bigger bait a good way.

Thanks for the ideas guys. I am going to be using the braid for ~2oz plastics, so nothing super demanding on the spool. It's a mix of bomb casts to cover water and shorter targeted casts to work weedlines and bits of cover.

One of these maybe? https://m.ru.aliexpress.com/item/322603 ... 1978dba940
Huh, I never thought to look for a 36mm DIY spool. For some reason my phone keeps sending me to the Russian Ailexpress site, do you know off hand the line capacity?

I have the same problem on mobile. This is what I got ot of the description.

Weight: 10.8 g (without ball bearing) / 12.6 g (with ball bearing)

Coil size: ID 26.5 mm / OD 36 mm (with SV brake system)

Material: Spool-A7075 \ shaft-stainless steel \ NMB ball bearing 3 * 10 * 4 mm

Bandwidth:
YGK X8 2.0 ---- 100m

Weight of bait 5-21 g

PE is recommended as a nylon fishing line can distort the reel

It can be used in the following model:
Million 1514
Million 1516
Million 1520
Million TWS In-Ear Earphones with 100
RYOGA 1520

There is also this spool which is slightly deeper.

Thanks!

The weight range of 5-21g kills it though, my braid spool will be used to throw ~2.25oz paddletails across huge pad fields so the spool will take some abuse.

If the spool for the new Catalina comes up for sale then thay might be worth while. TTT is selling them for $210. I'm going to pick one up at that awesome price. It's a Zillion TWS with a shallower spool and a recessed mag dial.
