The Oceanic Spider II is the older version and is still available due to its affordability, as it features Sea Guide Low Rider guides and a simple fabric case. These guides have an advantage as they are lighter, resulting in the overall weight being ten grams lighter.
Another difference is the reversed reel seat (screwed onto the upper part), which reduces the overall handle length to 32cm. The latter has more EVA material compared to cork in relation to the Spider III. In terms of behavior, it is exactly the same since the blank is common to both models.
