Fitted the spool to my GTR reel without any issues. The line pickup is noticeably faster and the drag feels smoother. Great for saltwater fishing where quick response is key.

Switched from the older NV-G spool and noticed a significant improvement in responsiveness. The weight is lighter, and the backing capacity handles larger fish better.
