Awesome. Thank youPastrmka wrote:It's slightly less braked in my opinion but not significant.

Now I regret it and should have gotten this CT Steez instead.
So I may be selling the SV Ltd 8.1 RH at a very good price.

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
TW says that the reel can hold 100 yards of 10 pound line. Does that seem to be accurate?
I am wondering if this is the reel to put on my NRX 852c. Currently running the Abu MGExtreme 2 on it. Wondering if the Steez would be the better option for 1/8 - 1/4oz lures. The Abu's spool holds just soo much line, that I think it kind of kills the super finesse applications.
Any thoughts?

I am planning on putting on my Steez Harrier-Finesse and will be using for flick shakes and Ned rigs in the 1/16 to 5/16 size on 8-10 lb test.freelancer27 wrote:TW says that the reel can hold 100 yards of 10 pound line. Does that seem to be accurate?

I really think when you get into the finesse... it’s about 75 pct rod tip and 25 pct spool size performance.
Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
My advice is to throw some ZPI, HH Air or some Micro's into the CT SV when you get it, the size is 1030. I initially tried mine with the stock CRRB bearings (no idea why they put these in stock), and the performance is mesurable both in distance and spool control with the alternate bearings. Also, go with the 8lb (I started with the 10lb and it was going too deep into the spool on a long cast).E73Bass wrote:I am planning on putting on my Steez Harrier-Finesse and will be using for flick shakes and Ned rigs in the 1/16 to 5/16 size on 8-10 lb test.freelancer27 wrote:TW says that the reel can hold 100 yards of 10 pound line.

I use my set up for the same purpose and weight range, utilizing a 7'4 Fenwick Techna GP Light (really a ML). Honestly it's no more distance than I would get out of my Steez A with Air bearings and a MB Honeycomb spool on the same setup.

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
That's tackle warehouse propaganda, designed to hoodwink the american buyer who still believes more line=more better. 100 yards generally bieng the lowest threshold. The 100/10 contention doesnt match the Daiwa JP website, the Daiwa USA website, and not my experience when spooling it with 10lb line, it held about 80 yards.freelancer27 wrote:TW says that the reel can hold 100 yards of 10 pound line.

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
Whatbare you talking about???? Your reel aint worth NOTHING if you can pack at LEAST 100yds of 20lb mono on it. Its for when the biggun takes hold and screams out your line.Aquaftm45 wrote:That's tackle warehouse propaganda, designed to hoodwink the american buyer who still believes more line=more better. 100 yards generally bieng the lowest threshold.

Haha. Well, I think it is the US-American 'bigger is better' mentality that drives this..Hobie-Wan Kenobi wrote:Whatbare you talking about????

Looking forward to your thoughts on the CT SV (once you got one from a poor dude who's wife said 'no, no' ) especially in comparison to the Steez SV TW!
Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
This reel is very tempting..
Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
As a finesse reel the reel is VERY tempting. I can understand the capacity concerns if you want to throw more normal sized bass baits though. I could definitely see capacity becoming a concern then.

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
No capacity problems for me. It will hold 100 yds of 30# braid if I need it to, though I only filled it about halfway with 10# braid.LowRange wrote:As a finesse reel the reel is VERY tempting.

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
I was being sarcastic about the line capacity comment. I much prefer a shallow spool, especially for braid. To reason to have 60% or so of your spool never see the light of dayfreelancer27 wrote:Haha.

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
Interesting! This would mean that one can put 100 yards of 8# fluro on it. And maybe 80 yards of 10# fluro.hoohoorjoo wrote:No capacity problems for me.

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
TW listed line capacity isn't far off, roughly 15 yards, give or take a nose hair. I'm not sure I'd consider this a finesse - finesse reel. Sounds similar to the SV Light Limited. 1/8 plus small trailer is very good with the right rod. The Zpi Nrc001-m will outclass the SV Light Limited, so I'm not sure I need this reel, other than the form factor being tempting. Still waiting for that Millionaire. We need to source some 31mm to 30mm spacers for when this new spool becomes available. SV Pixy - Yes please

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
It wont work because it is narrower than the Pixy spool(and narrower than all other Daiwa spools, as well). The pinion gear in the Alphas is longer and the levelwind worm gear is different. A member here tried a Pixy spool in his Alphas CT and it "just flopped around". Spanky from the Tackle Trap confirmed this when he went thru that reel for the afore-mentioned member.Hogsticker2 wrote:TW listed line capacity isn't far off, roughly 15 yards, give or take a nose hair.
