- Is the Daiwa Steez CT SV 700 TW Daiwa's best reel ever?
It's light, and compact. But what's the deal with the price tag. I dig it and all but in my opinion. It doesn't bring enough to the table to warrant the $$$. No magforce 3d which I guess daiwa aborted. No carbon fiber handle like in the $300 Air Stream Custom. Just less less raw materials (and how does less cost more) and a clicky drag (found in other lesser expensive reels that trickled UP to this reel.

Why do you think they sound and vibrate so much when they cast (happens to my new ct sv), or is it just mine? Some Daiwa silent tune version would be greatly appreciated.
Hey man...Your CT is buzzy on the cast too? Good ears....I was wondering if someone would notice that in the beginning. I'm glad you chimed in. After some poking and prodding i think the click I mentioned is due to the spool bearings.......my Non CT steez reels and every other daiwa I have is silent on the cast.
@@kookiekookie8105 my lew's tournament pro is silent. It has quite cast. I would love for this reel to have it.
@@kookiekookie8105 I think is the smaller size spool spin much faster than the previous model and causing the bearing sound louder
Is this reel any good for topwater fishing? Or can it handle like a fifth of an ounce topwater lure? In Europe there’s a fish called asp and one of the best ways to catch it is topwater and i really love this beauty of a product
@@schadow0418 It would work extremely well for that. Especially with light line. You could also go with a BFS reel too if you want to throw that suze or smaller the majority of the time.
Great video as always brother!!
Great vid, as always...
Would be interesting to see some casting comparisons between the Steezes and the Shimano non-DC models like the Aldabaran & Metanium MGLs.
Completely agree. I love my Steez SV TW’s far more than my Steez CT SV TW. They fit my hand better, especially resting my thumb above the T-Wing. I wish both would have come with 90mm handles from Daiwa because the 80’s feel obnoxiously small.
This guys100% the truth. Daiwa Steez is just as good or better than Shimano's flagship baitcasters. Feeling the micro gears grinding together in shimano's doesn't make it a better reel.
So I really hope you get a chance to answer this question.
You have given the Daiwa BG much praise and have said it is one of the best reels you can buy for your money. And I have bought 3 of them just from your recommendation and I love them!
I’m looking to get into Baitcasting reels. What would you say is the “Daiwa BG” of the baitcasting world? If there even is one that is similar in quality for a reasonable price, thanks.
Love the videos!!! 😄👍
I can only imagine how many ticks you had on ya during your trek thru that tall grass
Have you checked out the new Alphas CT SV yet? Heard very good things look forward to your review.
Please stop making videos. My bank account can't handle it.
Really tho keep up the great work!
Pro Tip...................chop up credit cards..............set up overdraft protection on checking account.....spend all money on fishing gear....once broke you can't buy more................. This has been a public safety announcement by Tackle Advisors ;)
I just bought the Steez sv tw yesterday and fished with it today for the first time. I gotta a 15% discount of the retail $550 so ended up saving around $80 for buying a demo from Dicks sports. I never thought I would end up owning a Steez. But I’m so glad I do. I went from a Lews xfinity paired with an Ugly Stick 7’3 MH. Fished with that for 6months then bought a Shimano Curado dc. A massive prize jump between each purchase but the nicer I got with each purchase the desire for even better took over. And I definitely wasn’t about to put my Steez on a freeking Ugly Stick😩
So I paired my Steez with a St.Croix 7’1 MF legend tournament bass series rod and was blown away with the combination. Been fishing with a bait caster for 25 years and
Between the smoothness of the reel and sensitivity of the rod. I can’t help but think of how many fish I missed just because of my cheap set up. If you have the love for fishing like I do buy high end equipment you’ll be glad u did, I know I am. See u on the lake👊🏻
whats your typical casting distance?
nice vid man, i love your detailed video and did the buzzing go away ? or is it still there ?
It had to be repaired by Daiwa. I dealt with the tech directly. He said spool bearings... I told him level wind components. It was in the level wind. Strange repair process too. I dealt with the head of repairs and the reel sat un touched for about a week and a half since the return address and name wasn't mine... Was like what would it matter who's names on it.
My steez A developed a tick, it’s the movement of the stabiliser bar. Had to grease the hell out of the left side plate where the c clip is to stop it
Spot on again...I did a little video like this a few weeks ago... nice reel but the 700$ price is just something I have trouble justifying.. I also have the (buzzing) makes me freak when I hear it. 700$ the reel shouldnt make a sound but hey it is what it is..👍🏻👍🏻
I bought 2 of the 19 Antares MGL instead for 419 And I have to say they cast very well ,calabash digger Did a review also on the new steez and he had mixed feelings about it he also stated If he had it in his hand before he bought it he wouldn’t of bought it he was much more impressed with the new 19 Antares I also have a bunch of steez reels and that new 19 Antares when you cast is very very impressive Hopefully you can do a review on the 19 Antares you will be impressed The shimano Alderbaran 30 Mgl you can get for 299 almost Two for the price of one of the. New steez And as usual a excellent review and tear down of the new steez You always gave an honest unbiased review
could you make a video about Daiwa Steez A TW Baitcasting Reels!!
thank you.
Have you tried the new Alphas CT SV? I know a couple of guys who say the casting performance is almost identical. Would love to hear your thoughts + There’s no Alphas CT videos on UA-cam yet (in English).
Keep up the great work dude!
That reel is more meant to throw hella light weights
Here I am not wanting to dish out $150 for an eBay Lexa, and now you’re making me want something way more than that. 😂
Love my lexa hd
Hopefully you see this.
Are the colored handle collars interchangeable? Can I swap one from the CT to the SV TW or vice versa?
21:40 I have the same problem here as well. I was parting it to clean it out but it is giving me a hard time. I dont know why and how
When describing your reels your audio is excellent. What microphone are you using?
Thanks, been getting this question a bit the past week. I use the cheap sony lavalier stereo mike 20$ on amazon. The ecmcs3 amzn.to/2J4qXPM I clip it to my hat so it's always the same distance....and i turn the mic gain allll the way down so in premiere pro it never peaks above -6 db...and if it does I attenuate it. Every now and then if I hear background noise I'll run a filter. The shimano video i had the gain up a bit and the audio was a little clippy.....I had a fancy rode mic but returned it because it was no different.
Any shimano/daiwa crossover guys...is it really, TRULY worth checking these reels out? I’ve been throwing metaniums and aldebarans for years so I’m pretty used to shimanos high end stuff and can’t quite picture how a reel could be “better”. But at the same time, I’ve had a nagging curiosity to check out a steez for a couple years. I’ve liked the tatulas I’ve thrown but not enough to dethrone my curados. I’m wondering if it’s the same case with daiwa’s higher end stuff or if they pull ahead in the premium market somehow. It’s an expensive question to get answered and of course, frickin tackle warehouse’s demo program is down just as I’m able to fish more than I have in the past decade...
havent tried the new ct sv, but i know i like the feel of my SV TWS over my shimano met mgl and aldebaran mgl!
I do as well... I upgraded my Last met DC to brass on brass and its now on par with the Steez
You’re dead on about the aldebaran. That reel is the best on the market in the premium, almost bfs market. 👍
The new smaller frame steez at $200 more then the old and still the same weight? Definitely a head scratcher, I would love to see you check out the new antares 70. At the 70 size and almost 8 ounces it still seems to be a "novelty" as you deservingly dubbed the antares 200.
For a rod review you should check out phenix rods, the feather and m1 are the lightest rods I’ve ever felt and are relatively affordable
cooking and fishing had the spinning rod.....one of my buddies is borrowing my steez ags and wants a feather bad for river walleye........Josh at jandh said he's gonna send me a slow pitch jig phoenix rod.....I've never owned one and never put much time on them.....though I love what I see and hear about them....one of the cooler brands out htere.
Does running a shallow spool on the steez sv tw make it better for bfs light weight lures?
Daiwa sells a 105 shallow.
Wonder if it does anything differently.
Love the videos! What’s a good baitcaster I could get that works well also for inshore fishing out here in the Texas gulf? I was looking at the new Daiwa coastal but this 2017 steez looks good too. Is there any other baitcaster reel you can recommend? Thanks!
Beware of magnesium in Salt. They have the Steez a which is an alu frame and different spool that'll work in the salt. The bantam mgl is another sweet reel worth a look too
@@TackleAdvisors what do u mean by that ? Are magnesium do bad in saltwater?
Muhamad Afif corrosion is what he’s talking about. Salt water will corrosion magnesium.
Is it your same opinion on these reels today about the new steez
N make a video on where to put grease and where to put oil or where not to put it .please please
It was a tuff choice, and i ended up getting the new steez over the aldanaren. I do have a E7 curado thats seen 6 years of constant saltwater usage, and the last 2 winters being my main wood knocker for bass. Never maintained. Wanna break it down and see what is like ?
Matthew Anderson damn that’s actually impressive I had a Curado k get the pinion stuck from only 3 months of saltwater usage rinsed off after every session those green e models are tanks
Thanks for the vids, watched them all! Question for you - as Black Friday is tomorrow I’m considering investing in a higher-end baitcaster to pair with my Expride 610M primarily for jerkbaits - the Steez SV TW is currently my top choice. Any thoughts otherwise?
Appreciate the feedback.
Thats a damn good choice. Metanium DC is another good choice.
Tackle Advisors thanks! I’ve seen your review that the DC might be a bit noisy - if you were looking for yourself which would you choose? Based on your reviews I would think you would go Steez, but just want to be sure, lol. Happy Thanksgiving
Trigger pulled on the Steez! Thanks for the heads up on JandH!!
Hey I'm looking for an all around reel. Was thinking the steez ct sv ($450) or zillion hd ($350). Its going on a 6'10 st croix scv medium and fast action blank. Which one dou you think is best or do you have another one you would recommend?
I agree when it comes to the aldebaran. If you’re steadfastly against shimano, that’s one thing. But if you’re willing to give it a shot, the aldebaran is just about as good as it gets in the “ultra premium” $400+ range. There are certain things daiwa just does better. Their braking and tws just scream “short range accuracy”. But for an allrounder, weightless plastics and jerkbaits to 3/4 ounce jigs, I haven’t found a better reel than the alde. Especially when you throw it on a lightweight rod like an nrx...good god....
Can you please compare the Lews Mach II to other baitcasters or link me? This was a huge seller this July due to it being on sale in a combo at Dick's for $99.
I'm experiencing some nasty lateral play on my Ct's handle, please help!
I have both Daiwa Steez SV TW and Steez CT SV TW. Just like Daiwa designed and claims them to do; Steez SV TW is more of an all-round reel casting heavier lures flawlessly and light lures effectively but requires little more practice and techniques, while Steez CT SV TW is definitely much more efficient and effortless casting lighter lures. Like all flagship Daiwan products, Steez reels are built with greatest possible quality and refineness and I believe they worth every single penny spent if one can afford. Love the CT SV TW so much that I am thinking of getting another one.
I’m glad to hear this I just ordered an sv tw I hope I like it
hey bro do u think the daiwa steez is able to do some medium or heavy game
How do these stack up to the Steez ct sv tw 70? Or is the 70 the same thing as the 700 with an interchangeable name? I wish they named it with the year like the Shimano Antares DC7 vs the Antares DC21 as an example
Where to find the rod it’s not available anymore at this link
I was wondering on what one I should get. This is going to clear the bank account this afternoon now. Lol
Oskar b which one did you get?
@@JeffRigney I ended up getting the SV TW. I find the SV spools are a great all-rounder and cast a wider range of lure weights. I just added a aftermarket clicking drag.
Oskar b that’s the one I’m wanting. Thanks for the reply.
@@OzJKjeep how do u like the reel? Thinking about getting one
@@creekintv2268 it's great. Most use BC I have.
Please please please review Exsence dc 2017 :)))
i hv 2 steez a tw, both also with anti reverse sleeve stuck to drive shaft. just use light sandpaper sand it off tiny bit the edge of the shaft and out they come...
Normally I'd do that....often that happens on my saltwater reels ..... But not on a 700$ brand new reel that's going back to asubscriber that already has an issue. The plan after the vid was to send the alpas air stream he sent. Directly back to him..and the steez to daiwa for a service prior to getting back to him.
The clicker mod for the non CT. Got a link? FYI due to this video, I'm broke till my next pay check. Lol
lolol......my bad
Lemme know if this works.....im banned there so can't see if it is.
Make a review and tear down of daiwa bg magsealed 4000 thanks.
If not mistaken....and judging by every freakin daiwwa spinner that's coming out....it's a bg with thee mag sealed ar cap and light rubber seals.......so it's a saltist with non bronze shielded minebea bearings...just standard shielded minebeas which isn't that big a deal.....maybe a line roller or bail wire change but that's really inconsequential.
Do you think the steez ct can throw baits up to 45 grams?
You should compare the Calcutta and the Daiwa TD Luna.
Thats a good one.........hmmmmmm
@@TackleAdvisors maybe a Cardiff A if you can get your hands on one. Tall task though.
The one on the right is it a DAIWA STEEZ A TW SV 1012 SV-H OR SV TW 1016SV-H not the purple reel the other one where did you get it from not the purple one but when you first got this reel did it say mag seal by the handle
We get boned by both Daiwa and Shimano’s US distribution on prices.
How did u manage to get the gear shaft collar off? Any specific tool? I had the say issue with the older steez.
Lightly sanding the edge is the easiest way to do it. Nothing uses those top threads since or at least there is zero load put on them. The drag star threads under tension much lower down and the handle is held on byscrew not a nut. I didn't do that to this reel since it's brand new and needs a service due to the tick mentioned
More videos like this one.
I swear you have the funniest usernames lmao
Hello.
I love daiwas. I love daiwa steez more. I love my Daiwa Steez A TW 1016HL the most, even more than my tuned 2 year old Zillion HD. However, all of my daiwa reels paintwork somehow always don't last.
By the way, have you heard of a Korean company named Banax?
Keep doing teardowns!! You rock Dude!!
It seems everyone's paint work could use a boost..All my shimanos are chipping....don't even know how. Same with my revos and others. Only anodizing seems to last.
Banax is a Korean company that produces 13 fishing baitcasters and Okuma reels. They also make 'KDM' stuff but recommend you to look at those brands if you want to see how their products perform. BTW, in South Korea, KDM version of DOYO baitcasters (they produce Lew's and Abu reels) are much more popular than those of Banax.
Oh shit you got that Daiwa tick as well? Did you find out what the problem was? I have the OG alphas ito, airy red pixy and the steez sv tw that all have it. Even replaced a gearset in my pixy, and nothing changed. Also remove the whole level wind assembly, and it didn't do anything. All bearings tested, etc. Its the most annoying shit😭😭😭😭😭
The question is what parts and materials are used that make this reel worth $$$.
Also the clicker imo is better than Aldebaran BFS and Scorpion BFS
NADA.....fewer materials......Just designed more compact. (actually maybe an o ring and piece of wire for the Pawl....as that's redisigned...but couldn't get at it...Oring holds a pin in that keeps the pawl in place....I bet that configuration costs less than the screw cap and bushing. lolol Though a better more compact design...very similar to how the design I have sketched up is...only mine uses silcone a bit differently and has a bulb for loooob.
So did you get any ticks? Never had a baitcaster but your video makes me think about trying one out, thanks.
I started in shorts... Had 10 within 20 feet of the car... Went back and wadered up... After wadering up zero. I was surprised to get any... For some reason I don't get ticks... One in my lifetime bit me. For the mileage I put on in stuff like this it's weird. With friends they pick em up but I don't. And I usually am first in line.
Have you ever had a steez spinning reel if you did are they better then the certate. Exist or the stella
I had the first steez spinner.....felt toyish back in like 2004 or something lol didn't like it for that reason...what the hell did i know lolol....I haven't used the newer onese....I have the exist and stella......both exceptional....stella isn't very light in weight though comparatively.......
The only low profile baitcasting reel I ever bought was the Abu SilverMax for $60. Casting was not easy. Does it get better around the $150 mark? [Tatula/Curado K] Or should I just stay with spinners? Whats a cheap reel you would suggest that can be used for lures ranging from 10 to 20 grams.
It all has to do with the brake. Find a deal on the daiwa fuego usually around 60 to 70$ start with the brakes turned up. And work your way down...You'll find your casting stroke and release point will change as you go down in braking. I suggest you adjust the spool tension knob to allow the slightest amount of play and focus on thumbing the spool at splash down to stop it. That'll get you accustomed to doing that right off the bat for when you get a feel for it and gain experience. The fuego is one of the lowest priced reels that will stay with you for awhile...it's the same thing as the pricier tatula minus the T wing line guide that really only nets warm and fuzzies offering a smoother casting sensation at higher lure speeds....with a tiny bit of distance...not really noticeable in fishing applications.
@@TackleAdvisors Thank you so much. I'll try and follow your advice.
Sweet largemouth bass, haven't seen you hold anything but tackle & equipment. I just bought a Lexa 300 at a Big 5 going out of business for $160. Not sure what to do with it though it's rather cumbersome for bass fishing from a float tube.
Really? I put out a few on the water vids. My personal best tuna after 100 plus canyon runs. My pb shark which was a 9 foot tiger. A smallie that was close to the state record. 22inches and wider than an NFL football. 50lb striper.. 20lb bluefish.. And speaking of float tubes which is where I am mostly now at night. I've put up pics of a 25 x 19.5 nj largemouth that pushes state record size. I can't belive my fishcat 4 deluxe still lives. Lol best investment any bass fisherman can make...
@@TackleAdvisors I do remember the state record bass & the journey it was to get to water hole. If I remember correctly you caught it on hollow body frog. Tight lines!!
Over the river and through the woods to grandma's house ;) close.. Lunker city salad spoon
do you find yourself tightening the tension knob when running braid? fluoro no issues out of box stock, but once i throw on braid...factory settings are out the window.
Tension knobs are for noobs lol
@@gobybryant1001 Daiwa...that you?
How do I buy a replacement spool tension knob for the cg80?
Just buy a better reel lol
What do you think about the tatula sv tw? How does it compare to other reels in its price range?
It's a great reel.....very controlled when you want it an example being.... jointed baits can fly straighter with less banana'ing. Great at skipping due to how strong the braking can get.......and if you want max distance..........especially with braid......the lower settings fly. Though I find a bit lower trajectory casts yeild the most controllable results........high arcs yeild mid cast over runs...The cuado K is another one that bombs. Set it up at 2 brakes on and 2 or 3 no the dial for loong range.....And add another brake and tune the dial for distance and control...Though it doesn't skip as effortlessly....and I find gantare/ chibitarel style baits banana/ frisbee a bit more at higher settings compared to the mag z brake. The tat is smooth but a different kind of smooth...the curado feels like that butter smeared on a window type sticky smooth...the tat feels like wd 40 on a window type smooth lol
Lol! Gotcha. Thank you!
At 3:00 I thought you were going to set the reel in the water. Smh 🤦🏽♂️
What state is this?
In electrical theory class I told everyone my great great grandfather created Lenz's Law. 4:44
Awesome!! How could he prove ya wrong....my electrical theory professor showed us pictures of his hot daughter in a bikini doing underwater yoga :)
My circuit analysis teacher walked with a major limp...sort of a tilted hip. One day I asked why. He told us the story of when he worked at a plant he stripped the sheathing of some 480V cable with his teeth that was supposed dead but was live LOL. Apparently stripping cable with your teeth can be hazardous to your health.
Shimano released Anteras 70A to compete with the Steez CT. Its rocking a $600 dollar price. Tear that beast down.
I could never pay 700 bucks for any reel. Heck, I had a hard time plunking down 240 each for 2 Tatula Elite last week. LOL.
Man that older steez is sexy! I’m not sure why but I think it looks like a better reel!
cuz it ain't shiney.....lol...matt finishes are still in vogue lol...I agree with you....sweet looking..on it's own..but next to the non ct....oof..touogh one...a little purple bling on the non ct would really be sweet
Can anyone from experience tell me if this reel (Steeze SV TW not the new CT version) is safe for saltwater? I heard that magnesium is a no go for saltwater. Much appreciate it!
I have a few.... My favorite baitcaster (non CT SV). I wouldn't use it in the salt... Saltwater gets all over the place one baitcasters.. If it gets in a screw thread or scratch.. It doesn't take long to do damage
I recently picked up a new Shimano Curado K for 120 brand new. For that price is there anything better?
I would say it's excellent, but there are others just as good imo, and lighter - it's subjective.
curado k is good
I’ll just buy a purple sharpie!
Lol I made a comment just joking around on a vid, I think they were using the Lew's ProTi(which I have and enjoy), that it had nothing compared to Daiwa's new crazy prices offering. Finally had to block it because it turned into a whole Shimano vs Daiwa price comparison based off Tackle Warehouses offerings. Think they started comparing all of them with the spinners and all included. You know me, i don't really have any bias toward the Japanese two at all and love them just like my Lew's and Abu' s. This is an amazing reel but you do have some great points, and the whole pricing deal between there and here on this one is pretty bad.
LOL...I had to bow out of some comments on other vids...usually deleting the comment because it just clogs up my notifications.....usually on joe rogan podcasts.....lolol.....I'm gonna try some do some lews stuff....in my neck of the woods they never took hold....but when i was at the classic...i was shocked at how much more refined they felt than other oem reels....very shimano like....(daiwa as clean and smooth yada yadda yadda as they are....are a different kind of smooth . No gear sensation at all ...but not oooowy gooowy slimy smooth like shimano.....Lews was exactly that.....abu's though aren't. ((spinning reels on the other hand....shimano/ daiwa....everybody else
Seems like Daiwa just wanted to update their flagship but also felt the need to incorporate a notable, marketable difference that matched the market trend toward lighter and more compact. Seems like a price gouge to the moon to exploit Daiwa loyalists.
You'll find no arguement from me there..........
I only use baitcaster once, that is my friend reel. I only use spinning reel.
Embrace the learning curve :)
Love the steez but hate the sv braking system. Its overbraked. Hard to beat the mgl.
A question I always ask those who say it's over braked. If you set it at 1 to 3 does it over run? I find settings between 4 and 6 are speedy great for long range work. With 7 and up getting more and more tame. And killing distance. (referring to the non CT version). If yours is too tame maybe the rotor is stuck or bearings clogged
@@TackleAdvisors I always set it to 1-3.and it doesnt overun. Ive regrease the bearings etc.
Both these reels should be 4 to 500$ max.
Actually the steez sv tw, the steez ct sv and the steez a all have the bearing supported pinion gear.
Yup. Did I say otherwise?
Tackle Advisors it just seem that when you mention that the ct was one of the few reels reels with that feature, but didn’t mention the steez sv tw
Gotcha. It is. Not many Daiwa reels offer it.
Tackle Advisors did that clicking sound get figured out on the ct
I am looking for a $100 2500 spinning reel for inshore saltwater fishing for mainly charters so will get beat up a little. I would go with Daiwa BG's but the black and gold color combination is not going to really work (stupid I know). That being said what would you recommend? I was looking at the Fuego LT, the Eliminator, The Exceler LT, and the Shimano NACSI
but low or fast ratio?...sub 100$ lethal 40! (azores and socorro more weight)
Daiwa new reel coming out this year is sv tw tr uv wx nw qt dw Steez 😂😂
I can't remember if i posted the bassmaster classic vid where I was with the lower level booth guy.......I was effin with him about the model numbers....all in good fun....(come to tink of it there were a few videos I didn't put out where I stumped them good and goofed on em......lolol
Tackle Advisors it’s crazy all the letters they have on a model number
Had anyone ever tested DAM quick speedcore baitcaster?
Ever see the kastking speed demon.... See any similarities
@@TackleAdvisors I'll check it out thanks.
DAM drew my attention, seems fast in spec.,found lots of comments regarding high quality from German, Polish and UK users, but can't find a good video review anywhere.
Thanks again, great channel.
@@TackleAdvisors 20$ less for Kastking, thank you.
That hike through the grass.😱 I hope you don't have chiggers in Jersey!
Thankfully no.....
Antares A or Steez?
I like the Steez sv tws over the CT... And like it over the Antares
It's way too rich for my blood. I know there's a market for them and I have nothing bad to say to those that own them, but 300.00 is about the limit I will pay for a reel. Not saying this should be 300.00, my budget for a reel is 300.00. Does this mean all my reels cost 300? LOL, I wish!! I have 1 in that price range and the rest fall into the 50-179 range.
What about the Steez A?
That's kick around reel of the steezes.....No super thin walled SV spool. Alu frame, brass geared.
Steez A, non CT and CT are so much more smooth on the retrieve compared to my Bantam MGL, Met MGL and Met DC.
That bantam is pretty friggin sweet.....and the metanium DC with a brass gear set in it is right up there with the best on the market. The CT in this video developed some sort of bad wear feeling that needs to be sent in for service. Feels like spool bearings after fiddling with it so not a big deal....But the other steezes I own are top of the heap as well.
I agree. I have them all the Steez A, Steez SV 1012, Steez CT and Metanium DC. The Steez reels are a notch above in terms Of smoothness. Shimano’s cast further, no argument there.
I know I’m probably the minority here, but I could really care less about making these reels as light weight as possible. And using magnesium bodies and aluminum gears. I wish they would all go back to all aluminum reels (frame and side plates) and brass gears.
Me to I don’t like light rods either 👎💣
weight could be a more important part of a reel/rod to older people or people that get fatigued easily- idk my best guess
Can u fish the new steez in salt/brackish water?
In not a fan of magnesium anything in the salt... Screw holes and threads, scratches, reel feet... All susceptible and once the surface coating is compromised it spreads
Tackle Advisors okey thanks
I don't see the value in BFS reels especially for my style of fishing. I would rather get a quality spinning reel.
It's a fun, accurate, efficient and different way to fish. Provided you don't backlash which usually only happens when you hit something during the cast. After fisihing BFS reels.....switching to even a reel as nice as an exist lt....it's just another spinning reel and as nice as they are.....are big clunky and involve so much more to cast and control compared to just one handing an ultra light baitcaster.
Tackle Advisors I would consider it with a better price point. I was thinking more like a ballistic and not an exist. I have some tatula SVs but I don’t think they will perform like that new steez.
its a really fun reel for close shore fishing. I use it on a belly boat for red fin perch fishing.
But also only if there is very limited chance of pike contact.
My first fish on this Steez on a Evergreen LM Rod was an mid size pike. Maybe 30 to 35" so nothing special here in my area but the this setup was on its Limit.
Steez ct sv tw Can it be used in salt water?
Salt and magnesium don't mix... Regardless of what the manufacturer says... I put out a vid on a friend's saltiga surf that was babied. And showed the corrosion cancer that destroyed it from the inside out.. 400 or 500$ surf specific reel rendered useless and non repairable Steez a if you want steez in the salt.
I hope i never get into bass gear. I spend too much money as it is. I have to say , like all daiwas, it does look nice.
heeeeeyyyyyy........just watched your vanquishs video...........I'll tell ya what.............the stradic fl is very vanquishy .....sans rotor and bearings with a an alu frame and paladin gear........super refined on the water.
It will be a great reel but that chrome color ... i dont have any chrome rods to match it with. I think i will wait until they make a black version, which i am sure they will, for the domestic market.
LOL who do you think they are...daiwa...lol Their reels are like nail polish.....Search daiwa phantom lt on ebay.........lol another one popped up the other day..lol Like weeds
How do I see the fk comparison video? I see the arrow in video but dk how to access it.
Those are all coming..unfortunately the way youtube works I can't add those annotations after the fact.
@@TackleAdvisors ah gotcha thanks man.
no prob brotha. Spoiler alert.....the FL is better lol noticeably so :)
Sweet, cant wait to watch it man!

Your blue screen setup was very very distracting
Cool

LOLOL .....I can give ya a visual....imagine 4 separate 4x 2 x 7 foot tall 4 shelf metal shelves.....with a dozen egg crates amongst 2 of them.....the another with totes filled with soft plastics. And bins for wading boots backup waders....and misc.....the top shelfvs are lined with rods.....About 40 or 50.....with I don't even know how many in storage. work bench is 4' wide 2 feet deep 7' high with 400 watts of leds...with mulltpie camera mounts.............the last shelf is reels. and bins with parts.......all is organized like a tornado hit..........then there's the rest of the house lol. My friends garage is 1000x as bad......distributors that show product to large big box stores....show samples to them...when done they throw em in his garage....multply that over 15 years and that's a few thousand rods and reels and etc....lmao It's impressive....My friends deceased father Has the largest privately owned outboard motor collection including the second outboard ever made...an 1880 or something ol evinrued....and 2000 reels.... (he was on the board of directors for the outboard collectors club and all sorts of cool stuff...

in another 50yrs id say all the american outdoor dream will be gone.
third!
If you guys think you get spanked on prices between us and Asian markets try buying a premium reel over here in the UK ,we get truly done over and if you want gear ratio options lower than 8.2.1 pray hard .You guys so lucky to have j&h and tackle warehouse etc.
For finesse applications (weightless plastic) you felt the SV TW is better than the CT SV?
The answer to high priced reel's. QUANTUM ACCURIST PT S3 7 to1 to1. Not a better reel for under $100.00. Got mine for $83.00 on line from Wal-Mart. Put it on a Berkley Cherry wood medium heavy bait caster rod. For $20.00. On Sale on line from Wal-Mart. $103.00. Not bad. Not a Tournament combo. But still rips the lips off the Largemouth's. Match that you big spenders! SHAWN
Buy a $200 tournament pro from lew's it will do everything these will and more and better. If iam wrong i would love to see someone prove it. I love diawa and shimano and lews. But $ for$ for bass fishing just talking performance lew's out performs shimano and diawa. The only thing i would give the edge to shimano and diawa on is build quality. They seem a little more solid and uniform. I would compare it like this shimano and diawa is like Mercedes and bmw. Lew's is like a camero zl1 and Corvette zr1. Its not as refined but is destroying in performance. Especially when comparing prices.
Take that Lew's reel and a Daiwa T-Wing reel, put same line on both, same rod. Then cast a 3/8 out cr spinnerbait. Especially with wind.
You'll see a difference, trust me.
Sorry about typo
@@williamlatimer9216 lew,s has the farthest casting reels on the market. This is known. The bb1 is there long distance caster. Like i said i love diawa and shimano. I really am just addicted to fishing gear period. I love all of it that is good. Trust me i absolutely love my steez, bg, tatula,s , zillion, saltist. I haven't tried some of the other stuff yet iam still working on my collection. I do find myself buying more diawa than shimano stuff but i love them both. I am kinda of a collector as much as i love fishing. But in the saltwater diawa is absolutely 100% better than lew's. But for bass fishing which is what made lew's famous. Lew's is by far $for $ the best performance baitcaster reels on the market. Trust me. Which i know people like different things. But iam telling you if you haven't used one of lew's premium reels i promise you will be blown away. A lot of people dont relyize that lew's invented the low profile baitcaster reel. Specifically for bass fishing. They are also the reason shimano is in the fishing industry. Shimano got started in the fishing industry by manufacturing fishing gear for lews in the beginning. Than they bought patents and started making there own.

Haha the bb1 pro is nowhere near the longest casting reel on the market, man. Even the standard issue shimano slx with nothing but 6 brake shoes and no external dial will outcast the bb1 pro.
@@manifestgtr brakes and external dials have nothing to do with casting distance at all!!!! Lmao! It would actually be the opposite. Brakes are to control cast. The less brakes you use the farther it can cast. Given its under control. Lol!
So overpriced for what you get might as well get a tatula or zillion
slonefactor I have a Tatula, Zillion, and Steez SV and truthfully the Zillion is probably the best bet for the money. I love my zillions, but if I’m fishing all day then it’s my Steez SV. It allows me to fish and not get tired. I make a lot of casts in a day.
@@bigfah2506 Zillion HLC is a hard 1 to beat.
First of all, I will never spend US$700 on a baitcaster, it is just out of whack for the type of fish that you can target with it. I think my absolute limit is no more than US$550 which is basically how much an Antares DC MD costs in Japan.
Overall, I look at species and their respective level of requirement on gear. Personally, I would be much more willing to spend more on saltwater fishing simply because certain species of fish demand it. Take big GTs for example, you are just not advised to use anything other than a Stella or Saltiga, is just a fact of life. Anything less will not have enough drag and will not stand up to the punishment dished out by the GTs. But, if you are only going after Largemouths for example, one could argue a workhorse reel such as a Tatula CT Type-R or a Curado K is more than enough. Anything more is just luxury may be because of the reel's ultra smoothness or quality materials used, etc. In other words, you don't need it and is nothing more than a nice-to-have if you will.
My most expensive Daiwa baitcasters are the 2018 Ryoga and Steez A TW. If you are talking about all round fishing, they are already plenty good enough in my book. I bought my Steez A from Japan for US$360 which I felt was the right price for that reel and not its US recommended retail. I mainly do saltwater fishing and to me the Steez is already plenty small, light and smooth enough. It is probably my favourite low profile if you discount DC reels.
Couldn't agree more.....It's hard to take reels at this price seriously. Especially baitcasters which internally are all generally the same. We all like nice things. And what many of the top reels offer just adds to the enjoyment......but virtually none will catch you any more fish. The 700$ price tag for this reel is out of line with reality. It's the same exact reel only made using fewer of the raw materials......with a clicky drag. It should be less expensive than the 2017 steez tw which already was expensive. And took it a step further. What's funny is on the daiwa website they call it a 70 and a 700...Never nice to see obvious misprints for a flagship price reel...but they are wrong in every single product discription for every single mag sealed spinning reel on the entire site.....There is no such thing as a mag sealed main shaft...It doesn't exist anywhere. It was hard to take the saltiga bay jigger seriously at it's price with the certate hd being 250$......$550 for a gear......and repair prices on saltigas 330$ for a worn gear set and they won't even send you the bad set back.....weird things with top tier daiwa offereings it seems.
