2020 Tatula SV reel

Has anyone tried the 2020 Tatula SV baitcasting reel?  I like how it is lighter and more compact than the previous version.  However, before I purchased one, I wanted to make sure there was no reason why I should avoid it over the previous version?  Also, for a universal purpose reel for largemouth bass (60% of the time it will be used for fishing jigs/worms/creature bait and the remainder it will be used with spinners, crank baits, buzz baits, etc.), is 7.3:1 the best gear ratio?

I don't think it's leaps and bounds better than the previous SV. It is smaller and more comfortable. I actually prefer the Elite long cast version over the SV for pretty much everything, except lighter baits, but all the Tatula models are good reels.

I have not used either the SV or the Elite.  I will note that when I worm fish, I usually only use a 1/16 oz weight.  I like it small so it makes less noise when it hits the water.  So, I want the reel to cast lighter baits.  I'm not opposed to the Elite, I just don't know which might better suite my needs.

Not really a difference as Tywithay said. My wife owns 2 of them. The 6 and an 8 gear ratio. Other than being smaller and different grips..not much difference performance wise. Then again her hands are smaller than mines so she prefers it much more lol
