@rawrfishing5 ай бұрын
Glad you are enjoying it. if you can cast the lightest lure you want to cast with the setup with no problems, you shouldn't upgrade to micros as it will lose distance. for my heavier setups, i use stock or i change to ceramic hybrid at standard sizes rather than micros. Roro bearings are the most affordable at the most consistent performance from my experience. Japanese ones are more expensive like hedgehog studio and ZPI...

That Tatula tw 80 cost more. Unless you buy the Japanese version. Tatula 80 is a smaller reel than 100. Can cast slightly smaller lures. I would rather get the 100 over 80 if one is a bass angler Here's the Japanese version! Sold from Amazon Japan so enjoy the price difference amzn.to/4720JYL

The reel is not bfs out of the box without this spool or another bfs spool. We call these bfs conversion. I think u can do what you want with the combination of the stock spool and the Gomexus.. But do know u also need two rods... So u might as well get two setups :p

that's subjective to what you wanna do. Zephyr is not a good UL reel. micro bearings doesn't help much in allowing it to cast much lighter lures. so I would skip the micro and just use standard size ceramic hybirds and just use the reel on a L or ML rod. I would skip the UL rod all together
