I wouldn't put myself as an expert or pro thumber, but I'm good enough so this is my experience. By now I've used a Steez 103, 103+1016 spool, 103+sv spool, IS71, and Steez LTD. So I've seen many variations of them and I didn't include adding bearings yet. The stock 103 isn't the easiest reel to cast in my opinion. Add bearings and it's a wild child. To the point I had to put mag brakes at 10!
For spinnebaits I would look at another reel. For one with the wild or wilder spool throwing spinnerbaits that gets caught airborne with those blades is asking for trouble with a gust of wind. Another thing is with the short 80mm handle (I think) and for whatever reason this reel isn't a torque monster. You'll be in for a work out throwing resistance lures. I use my Steez variants on Trig most of the time and one on weightless senko/plastic. Pitching is great and reeling it back with non resistance lures is butter. That's my opinion but I'm sure others may feel different.
