Going to be similar to the whole OG vs Tatula width comparison and debate. Probably the same or similar of measuring the width. Palming will feel different because of profile of the body. With a TWS the max width is near the nose vs a typical reel where max width is center of body. Profile plays a big role in how a reel palms.

It is different for sure, but nothing intrusive or much change unless you got lady like hands.

Maybe Daiwa will eventually offer the Steez TW with a 8.0 or higher gear ratio and it will have a longer handle.

JDM vs US market. The current Steez SV is US market only. The old Steez SV was JDM market only with the shorter handle. This new SV TWS Steez is dual market, which generally means shorter 80mm handles as most JDM reels have.

Went to the Chicagoland Fishing Expo yesterday. Daiwa had a nice setup but neither the Zillion TW SV nor the Steez TW SV was there. I was looking forward to getting some hands on experience. Maybe they will be at the Madison show at the end of Feb.

If you were still in the USMC you would probably be station in Japan and could just go to Osaka :lol:

That's just the thing! I am still in! I missed two deployments to Okinawa. One for Afghanistan and one for Recruiting duty. Starting to think I got shafted!!

Do you guys think there will be a 8.1 or 9.1 gear ratio later this year like they did with the Zillion TW(s)?
