In this video, Daiwa Alphas AIR TW + Roro X Spool (BFS Trout Fishing), Hobie-Wan Kenobi compares the Roro X AX24 spool to the stock spool in the Daiwa Alphas AIR TW. Although the stock spool casts very well, the Roro X spool is a noticeable upgrade for BFS stream fishing.
I was impressed with the Alphas AIR TW's ability to pitch light lures when fishing with the stock spool. The Roro X spool makes pitching and short casting even easier. The low, flat trajectory makes casting more accurate and also decreases the chance of line getting caught in brush.
In my opinion, I believe the combination of the Alphas AIR TW and the Roro X spool is the most capable BFS reel to date. The effortless casting and great control this setup offers I have not felt with any other BFS reel I have tried.
The Alphas AIR TW is a great all around BFS reel. I would rival it with the Shimano Aldebaran BFS with Avail 16ALD15 spool. The Alphas AIR TW has become my favorite BFS reel. The Roro X spool has made the Alphas AIR TW even better!!!!
