Jeffrey Walker Posted May 13, 2023 Posted May 13, 2023 I have a steez SV limited in 8 gear ratio but it has a shallow spool. I also have the same reel in 7 gear. I swapped the spools and it looks like they interchangeable. Is there any issue with doing so? Quote

Jeffrey Walker Posted May 14, 2023 Author Posted May 14, 2023 What is the point of a shallow spool? Quote
Kirtley Howe Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 A lot of people use shallow spools for pitching, flipping, and punching. For those applications you don't need to have a reel that holds a bunch of line, as you are fishing close to your position. I have also had some people say that they use a shallow spool when casting lighter weight lures, as the spool "starts up" easier than a large spool that holds a lot of line. (Less inertia as there is less mass). I personally do not own any shallow spool casting reels, just because I am too cheap to buy extra spools for my reels, and too cheap to buy a reel with a shallow spool that can only be used for a few presentations. 15 hours ago, webertime said: (Trying to think of something funny...

msgf91 Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 I started getting shallow spools so I don't need backing. Main line only FTW In response to Jeffrey, forgot the quote Quote
Jeffrey Walker Posted May 14, 2023 Author Posted May 14, 2023 So it doesn’t have to be for finesse stuff? can also be used for heavier applications? Quote
msgf91 Posted May 14, 2023 Posted May 14, 2023 Right, you can use it with normal weights but it does benefit lighter weights. Quote
Jeffrey Walker Posted May 15, 2023 Author Posted May 15, 2023 How about the Steez CT or the steez A or A ii i imagine these spools are not interchangeable? Anyjne know if they can be interchanged! if they fit, any issue in using them? Quote

Anyjne know if they can be interchanged! if they fit, any issue in using them? Going to say no on this one. The CT spool is 30mm and A is larger. I am not sure of it's exact size. My question is why would you want to do this? Quote
Jeffrey Walker Posted May 15, 2023 Author Posted May 15, 2023 I dont, just curious. Wanted to see if the spools are interchangeable Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted May 16, 2023 Super User Posted May 16, 2023 The Steez A and A II have 34mm spools and the A HLC has a 36mm spool Quote
