Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
That is absolutely, positively, the most ridiculous thing I've have ever seen from Daiwa USA. How in the Wide World of Sports do they think they can market this reel in the US at that price when it's basically the same price point as a Steez SV TW in Japan. The US SV TW went up $50 for tariffs, OK big deal, but a $150 premium over that? NO WAY!!!!
They just lost one sale with that stupid move.

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
What’s really sad is to watch all the comments about buying from Japan for better pricing while the gents from local shops like tackle trap who advertise and are able to answer questions on TT and have see the better pricing overseas and then see they are $50 to $100 more. And can’t complete.

Interested in these other 32mm SV spools ?
Are they available locally or thru tackle trap?
Any you know of that may have slightly higher capacity?

I know some spools were just released for the 32mm spools (AIR reels and SV Light) on AliExpress.E73Bass wrote:Hobie-Wan Kenobi wrote:Nothing at 30mm yet.

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
The real question is why you would buy one in the US when you can order it from Japan for $225 cheaper? I think we will see these on the USDM market for a year or so and than they be discontinued due to poor sales. I'm not sure what raises the price that much compared to JDM. Are tariffs and custom fees $200 per reel?pharmboy2010 wrote:Well, it's officially up on TW. $700!!!

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
The huge price differences between JDM and USDM for the same reels seems pretty common, i.e. Metanium, Aldebaran, etc. What I can't understand is the justification for a $150 price jump over the regular Steez SV TW. Does the smaller frame and smaller spool equal $150? Am I missing some other cost differences?
The JDM version CT is even currently listed with a cheaper MSRP vs. a regular Steez SV TW on Daiwa Japan's website!

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
How does CT SV TW compare to SV Light Limited when it comes to casting?
Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
I just purchased a SV Light Ltd. 8.1 and it will be here in a week.
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
I have both and in my limited testing CT SV is bit more capable with lower weights but not a big difference. Ergonomics wise CT is more comfortable for my hands.E73Bass wrote:I just purchased a SV Light Ltd. 8.1 and it will be here in a week.

I have a Steez Harrier Finnesse rod (1/16-1/2) that I was planning on putting the SV light Ltd on.Pastrmka wrote:I have both and in my limited testing CT SV is bit more capable with lower weights but not a big difference.

Now I think I will sell and use the $ to purchase and put the Steez CT on it.
For aesthetics I wish the CT came in 7.2 (red) instead of 8.1(purple), it would look better on the Harrier Finesse.
Is the overall size comparison of the CT the same or smaller then the SV Light Ltd?
Got any side by side pics ?

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
What about the braking profiles? I felt the Limited was slightly over braked at times. Does the Steez feel any different, for better or worse?Pastrmka wrote:I have both and in my limited testing CT SV is bit more capable with lower weights but not a big difference.

Re: '19 Steez ct sv tw
It's slightly less braked in my opinion but not significant. Here is video on YouTube comparing both in casting, not sure how accurate his numbers are but both reels seem similar.Hogsticker2 wrote:What about the braking profiles?
