Spool Compatibility

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.

Does the shimano 17 Scorpion BFS spool fit any of the 50E frames?
Any of the BFS spools actually, conquest, scorpion, aldebaran BFS reels

i was on Hedgehog studios and trying to find spools that fit
maybe its best if I asked what are the 34 mm daiwa reels
and 36mm daiwa reels? I think the 36 are the OG zillions and fuegos cause they are interchangeable however


18 SV light spool?
1012 vs 1016 G1 spools? Im a little lost about. I have a royaga spool thats rcs2014 in my Z2020sh but it seems like an SV spool for a ryoga will fit too? I can't buy them all and find out.. I'd be living on the street when she found out. Can someone expound for me?

The 17 Scorpion BFS spool wont fit in any of those platforms. The spool physically doesnt fit and the braking system is totally different.

Off the top of my head, 34mm reels are like the T3, Zillion SV, SV103, some Steez reels (SV TW is 34mm and some others).

18 SV Light spool is 32mm and is compatible with the T3 AIR, SS AIR and Alphas AIR (not Stream Custom)

Not too sure on the Ryoga situation.
