What 1/16 oz baits do you want to throw?
Inline spinners for trout, rooster tails. The package says 1/16 oz but I guess I do that know that true weight .
I would be worried about line capacity for 1/8 jig heads and a small plastic with any DIY spools except the Tatula Long Cast but if you don't make long casts then you should be fine with a regular Ray's spool or Roro. I would probably opt for the Ray's studio DIY for 103/1016 just for the Air Brake. 1/16 oz rooster tails and inline spinner should cast pretty well With Magforce 3D you can always put it on Max Brake if you feel the spool is too fast or struggling to activate the inductor.
Thanks! I pulled the trigger on a t3, Is this the Ray's studio spool?

China reel was a seaknight potm. I added extra magnets and it can handle 1/8 oz and up lures well but really really struggles with anything under it and I don't think it will last very long, so I was hoping to pick up a reel that will last a very long time.
Yeah, The Reel Test on YouTube didn't particularly like the POTM, especially at lower weights.

Yeah that was mine I sent him lol. After adding additional magnets it's much better than initially, but the light stuff is just very very finicky. Anyways, wouldn't recommend that one
