PM sent, Adam.

I'm going to spool some braid on several spinning reels and have a question. How do you divide a spool of brain among several reels. For example, majority of "bulk" spools of braid max out at 300 yards. So, if I'm going to divide that spool among 4 reels, how do I measure out 75 yards per reel? Also...

After reading the mostly favorable reviews about the Daiwa SV103, I'm probably going to purchase one in the next few weeks. My hope is that this reel will become my "work horse" reel, suitable for a number of applications. So, if I'm impressed with the first one, I'll likely purchase several more. A...

I'll second this. I was able to see the store in Bama too. Ended up buying an SV103 as I wasn't happy with what I brought to frog from Oklahoma. Got the reel, black parts, bearings, drag everything I needed. Last two days of the trip I was stoked. I'd be in hot water if I had that place within an h...

Are the JDM and USDM versions of the Alpha SV the same reel? If not, how do they differ?

Smaller diameter? Shorter width? Please explain.

I've seen several instances of Daiwa's Zillion TW SV reel described as "TW SV1016". What is "1016" referencing? Also, has anyone fished with one of these reels? If so, what are your thoughts?

Thanks

According to Daiwa's U. S. website, the MSRP for this reel will be $499.95. I'm not sure these reels will be worth the $100 premium over the existing Steez SV, which I'm not sure is worth the $100 premium over the SV 103. I'm going to need several of these reels (10+); so, the $100 premiums add up f...

Will the new Steez reels be USDM or JDM?

Thanks for the information. I viewed one of the videos. The reel looks impressive. I guess time will tell. Hopefully, the price point will not be too extreme.

Is there information on the upcoming Steez TW SV? When will it be available?

If anyone owns, and has fished, both of these reels, does the Daiwa Steez SV at $399 provide significantly improved performance over the SV 103 at $299? Other than frame materials, are there significant differences in construction between the two (size, etc.)? This will be my "work horse" reel, hand...

Another question.... I've fished the old black Team Daiwa TD-1 reels for years; and, for me, they've been exceptional reels. I've used them for pretty much everything, except finesse techniques. If I try a Steez SV, I'm thinking I'll get the 7.9:1 reel. Does anyone know how the physical size of the ...

Just trying to simplify things.

Thanks for all of your excellent suggestions. The smaller reels get, the fatter my fingers become.
