Ian installed a set of GRW bearigs in my Steez Limited SV 105, along with internal polishing and other gear upgrades I procured from Greg...and those bearings are definitely exceptional.

My suggestion would be to tune the current spools best you can before buying another. Some upgraded bearings (I prefer stainless for froggin) and/or inductor tune will help a good bit. 

Are you really struggling to get the distance you need with both of the mentioned reels?

I haven’t really had issues with original spools and braid. And a spool might but before changing out the spools I would do spool bearings. You will notice a huge difference. I am a ceramic bearing guy but some stainless is good too. It comes down to preference and fishing style too. But my recommendation would be bearings before a spool upgrade.

The reels currently have the stock spools. I use braided line for my frog bait fishing. Does SLP Works make a spool designed specifically for braided line for these 2 reels? Will these spools improve the casting performance?
