Quick take
Shallow-spool baitcaster built for finesse fishing with thin line and light baits.
This Daiwa Alphas SV TW 800S-XH is a compact low-profile baitcasting reel with a 1.3 inch (32 mm) aluminum SV shallow spool. It weighs 6.9 oz and tops out at 8.5 lb of drag, so it suits finesse presentations as well as heavier line around cover. The spool holds roughly 80 m of 8 lb line, 65 m of 10 lb or 55 m of 12 lb.
