Has a ‘long stroke’ spool apparently! Which means it should cast further. Doesn’t look that much longer to me but It may be an improvement.

Still just as useless as a stratic FG they need lower gear ratios like my biomaster PG 6.1 is too high would like 4.8 - 5.2 to 1

No small Shimanos have a low gear ratio. At least last I looked. Generally only SW models have the PG option in select sizes

The Biomaster is a SW reel. Stellas are usually the only model you can choose between PG, HG or XG in each size while the Twinpower, Saragosa, Biomaster and Spheros all vary depending on size and model. A 5k spheros is only 4.8 or whatever where as a Saragosa 5k is 5.7. The rest of the range not designated SW usually are all high 5s to low 6s in ratio
