The spool is supposed to make that click when casting. On the first half of your cast the inductor rotor rotates out letting the spool spin freely and towards the end of the cast when your bait is slowing down the inductor rotor is pull back in, hence the tick sound. This slows the spool down for backlash control.
Yup, I have one too and it does the same thing, It's just the sound of the brakes working.
Hey I appreciate the comment!
Right on dude!
The clicks are totally normal. It’s from the 2 steps braking systems. If you take a look at the spool, you’ll see two cylinders that pop out and retracts as the cast is ending, hence the 2 pops.
Hey thanks for commenting! I am going to look into this and if that is in fact true I think i will keep the reel, it just did not seem normal to me.

This is an explanation by Daiwa on their boost braking system which is the braking system in your reel. Hope this helps
I appreciate it! I will check it out!
I have a steez a tw and you should not hear the inductor
I have the same reel and it does not make that sound. However, mine does make a really loud noise when I crank fast.
This sound is normal for mag force Z , its sound when inductor come back to home position
Thanks for the info! I am testing out another Daiwa as we speak, spooling it up and seeing which I prefer tomorrow!
I have the JDM Zillion and love it! I can't see spending the extra cash on a Steez when the Zillion is JUST GREAT (Especially for the price).
Does it have clicker drag ?
@@user-vv4bs8fb2r Yes it does but not quite as loud as I would like. Not as loud as the 19' Antares but the Antares is a Tank to fish all day. On the water, especially when fighting a Bass, you really don't hear it as you would expect but it's still audible.
The difference in price between JDM steez A II and JDM Zillion isnt too much. The slight difference is worth it.
@@avocato2829 Thank's for the info. I was so happy with the Zillion that I haven't had the chance to look at the price of the new Steez.
As most said. The clicking is normal. It’s the mag-z boost brakes working. The new ‘22 daiwa zillion HD has the same braking and makes the same clicking. Both are fantastic reels.
Thanks for the comment! I kept the reel and love it so far, if rhe clicking is normal it does not bother me but if it wasn’t then that is a different story! I have had similar issues with other brands I will not name.
Glad to hear you kept both reels. They’re both amazing reels. All I use now are new zillion SVs, HDs and Steez a2 reels. They’re just so good and the smoothness has ruined me from using my other reels now. LoL
Oh yea forsure!
Daiwas are meant to be used a bit different from almost any other reel. And that is where people have problems and dont like daiwas…..mainly cuz they using them wrong. daiwa has a different braking system; best brakes in the business. The brakes are powerful and versatile.
So heres why some people dont like daiwas……. Its as simple as reading instructions. They dont like daiwas because they say they wont cast as far as other reels or they backlash, etc. but its a user issue cuz they dont Read the instructions.
With daiwas, you are not supposed to adjust the spool tension all the time. Only when you change to something very lightweight or very heavy. But they are very versatile and will throw 1/8 oz baits without a bait finesse setup.
Basically when you set it up, you wanna set the spool to just where theres no play in it. You actually want a quick fall on the bait, not a slow fall like youd set up a lews or something.
The brakes on the daiwa are what control everything. Instead of tightening or loosening the spool tension, instead up or lower the brakes. as you switch baits and that, you dont need to re set spool, (unless drastic change in weight). You use the brakes to control everything. If theres a lil bit of headwind causing some fluff in the line, turn brakes up a notch or two. If you arent getting distance you want, lower them a notch or two.
A few years back daiwa tried to discourage people even more from messing with spool tension by creating the zero adjuster, basically where they recessed the spool tension adjuster making it harder to adjust. That design remains in most their reels to this day cuz they dont want you adjusting the spool tension. The brakes are very sensitive and theres 20 different settings. It only takes a click or two on brakes to get where you need to. Ive had brakes on 8 when a huge storm kicked in and wind blowing straight at me. I cast without thinking and got a lil backlash. So i set brakes like 3 clicks higher. That was way too much, turns out it just needed 1 click.
Some people cant get their heads around using their reels like this and choose not to use daiwas. Thats fine. For me it was the opposite. Probably 4 years i started trying different reels from all major brands. It was right after the shimano DC’s came out, so i thought id be switching to those. Until i got a tatula sv tw in hand. At first i didnt like it, until i watched one of the daiwa pros explain the differences in the daiwas and how to use them. Then suddenly it was the best reel i had used, by far. The dc i had i came to dislike because it only had 4 or 5 brake settings and it backlashed badly compared to the brake setting, etc. So i sold it. Now 4 years later, every baitcaster i use is a daiwa. Tatulas, coastals, zillions, steez.
Definitely dude thanks for the comment! Love my Steez A2!
I have the same reel. This is a normal click sound for it.
THANK YOU for the reassurance, seriously. I decided to keep it and so far I love it, I just wish it didn’t make the sound is all. But thanks for commenting!
My steez is bomb. Got the a,and its beef cake, smooth, and the air brake is good for all casting. Long and short. I use it offshore,and up in hvy cover to pitch jigs and swimming worms in florida.💥👍
I really love the reel, it looks awesome and felt great! Does your reel make the same clicking sound? Is that normal?
@TUFFBASS I don't believe so. Mine is quiet and smooth through out the cast. Now the air brake works different, than a magnet brake, but has no clicking except for the drag system. I hope you get a good one. Mine has doubled my pitching distance, and makes for quiet entry of baits, which is key in shallow water.
New subscriber here! Awesome video
Welcome to the family! 🙏 I appreciate the support, and god bless you!
i imagen youll get a zillion, i have one and i was almost confused at first when using it cause it has no said when casting. while my tatulas you can hear line coming off of them, if thats what you get
That may be a possibility 👀 so you like your zillion then?
I was debating between this one and the 21 Steez HLC and opted for HLC - it flies to the moon with the right lure and brake setting .
More recently I bought the Steez SV LTD and sure enough the 24 Steez SV also.This addiction is getting outta control 😂
I get you there! First it was the Steez and now I recently got the Shimano Antares DC MD and now I want the Shimano excense! It is a problem!
@@TUFFBASS ua-cam.com/video/IEWByw5ZRKs/v-deo.htmlsi=VO-VoMmWAfeABGR2
Lol this is the show !
I have TWO Excenses DC same model 2022 - now that's baaaaddd
Double the trouble with TWO Excenses DC!
@@TUFFBASS lol I just got done spooling the Daiwa Morethan 1000 PE and another bantam 22 xg gear just now😁🙄😂
That click is the sound of the inductor, It's normal with this reel.
Yea I’ve heard from a few people 😄 I kept the reel and it will be one of my primary’s!
Did Amazon take care of you on returning the reel? I think that would be the only place i'd buy a Japan reel, so if it has issues, returning won't be an issue.
I actually got it from Asian fishing Portal and they are a reliable place for JDM gear. I sent them an email and they got back to me the same day with a label and instructions!
@TUFFBASS Thats great, I'll keep them in mind than, thanks.
I haven't broken into the JDM scene as of yet. Hope 2024 brings something with DC style braking, for a reasonable cost. I'd love to grab a Daiwa IMZ Limitbreaker, but the cost keeps it a distant dream.
Does the DC song sounds normal to folks when the first technology came out? Probably not... Actually all DC reels are faulty... silent bait casters are the best!
I LOVE my DC reels 🙏
All my been great to me. Dang, that to bad cause their reel are pretty great
Loving the new one I just got! Make sure to subscribe to see that video coming soon!
California daiwa
