Ouch! That thing better wipe after a looong cast, haha! Looks awesome....

All joking aside, I love all of the high end modded up reels from Japan but they fish such finesse tactics over there that their reels are typically set up for 5.33# super thin radioactive spider web. That normally equates to a very shallow spool, which in turn allows the spool to "start up and slow down" faster with less chance of backlash. This makes casting super lightweight baits a breeze.

The problem for me with these reels is that I like to put 15 to 20# Flo or 65 braid on them and you run out of line on a normal cast. This is what I just recently discovered on my new Steez SV. It is an awesome reel if you use line less than 12# test.

I fill my reels full when I spool them. That way you get maximum casting distance. 99% of all the guys I fish with don't fill their reels full which kills your distance.

With the SV Steez, if you load it with 17 or 20# Invisx it is great, Until you cut and retire a few times during the day. Then I feel like I don't have enough line and I am hitting the knot every cast. If you hang up and have to break off a bait it is exacerbated. This is a personal preference but it bugs the carp outta me.

You know, Ken....some people can't afford to fill their spools every time. But I can feel your pain....
