txchaser Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 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? Quote

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. 1 1 Quote

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. 3 1 Quote
