Steez 100 and different SV spool options

[Lead Head]

I'm looking to add a SV spool to a Steez 100. I'll be using this reel for senkos and TX rigs mostly (skipping as well as casting), but it will see the occasional 3/8oz jig and swim jig. Maybe a 1/8oz shakey head (with lure it should weigh well over 1/4oz) if the rod can swing it, and it should. I'm thinking 14-16lb fc sniper for line but 30lb braid is a possibility. 

 

Right now I'm looking at the sv103 spool or the zillion sv tw G1 spool. I'm wondering if any of you Daiwa guys can give me some insight as to how these spools will behave in a steez for my intended applications, or if you would recommend something totally different? Distance matters, but is not as important as control. I figure either spool will cast far enough that hook sets get sketchy but that is just a guess. 

 

I've been looking down the older Daiwa rabbit hole for a while now... between how much I'm enjoying my alphas and ss reels, and some of the recent threads I've been reading, its getting really hard not to just dive face first down that hole.

  Can say that again.  Love my TD-Z 105Hs.  Can't forget the TD-Z 103ML.  Try a Daiwa TD-X 100HSDF plus a few of the other TD-X models.   Recently picked up a TDX-103H Airmetal.    Got to have a few Pixy reels.  One needs to be an Airy Red.  TD-Z ito 103M is a must.    Alphas reels are great.  You need at least one of the Purple Alphas models.  I have never been the tinkering kind of guy.  However, I have no problem buying reels from guys that are. 

 

I have a file where I saved comments and links about Daiwa spools.  PM me if you would like a copy of that file.
