Spare Zillion Spools?

[txchaser]

Thoughts on the best way to pick up spare spools that will fit in a Zillion (new one) without paying 50% or more of the reel?  I'd like to be able to swap out to braid on a rod for punching so it doesn't need to be hyper-digi-sv, average weight over 1oz. JDM spools don't seem any less expensive, but maybe buying the part directly from daiwa. Or is there an aftermarket spool that's great with heavy line (don't need much of it) and heavy baits?

and a shallower SV spool for lighter braid

Should I be concerned about over stressing the honeycomb spool dragging fish out of the weeds on braid?

Honeycomb spools aren't something I'd use for that type of fishing.  A solid arbor spool will better handle the stresses of it than a honeycomb.

not even - my lifetime 28" speckled trout - she was pure pandemonium

Ray's Studio SV Honeycomb spool

What you're limited to on the honeycomb spool is braid diameter about PE#1.2 (0.185 mm) - in X-braid, this is 27-lb.  

 

If you're using the 40- or 50-lb braid most people would for fishing weeds, you need the deeper (5 mm) solid-arbor spool just for working capacity.
