Reel weighed 151 grams and spool weighed 9.0 grams. It's a Target digital scale though...
Without bearing it should be just under 7 grams, pretty light.

Very noticable size difference. T-wing much smaller. Side adjustment relocation attributes to more narrow profile. Thumb bar noticably smaller. And of course the spool itself is much smaller.
My hands are normal sized, not Andre the Giant, not Trump-like.
Certainly fits the machine gun/rapid fire/backhand skip profile out of the box and I think it will excel in that catagory paired with the right rod. I see a larger handle in my future.

Wow that thing does look diminutive! Makes me even more excited to get it now. An aldebaran sized new daiwa is just what the dr ordered...

Dammit. I was doing good resisting but those pics are too much. I have been hunting for a reel to stick on a 783c for a year now and am on reel #6, a PX68, but it's still not perfect. The Steez SV TW was perfect in performance but not in ergonomics, the Steez CT looks to be exactly what I am looking for. I think my SV TW is going on the auction block once I get a chance to clean it and get the factory spool back in.

A '15 Aldebaran was reel #5, I loved the ergos but could't make peace with the braking system.

This must be an ideal candidate to tune for lures 1/16 and less. Any Air style or even lower weight tuning spools available yet?
