The silver knobs give a reel an original look.

I'm gonna say it's the unported Ray's spool.

Yes, that is what it is. I wanted something more durable than the ported spool. I don't know why people buy the ported spool when the non-ported spool is less than 1 gram heavier. I've swung some big fish on this spool with no issues.

I bought the knobs for an OG Zillion that is silvered-out, but I like the way that they look on the Fuego also. I'm trying to give all of my custom reels looks that are original.
The Fuego is on a custom 7' medium cranking rod. That spool is great for 1.5 squarebills. The reel also has new 6.3 TDZ gears. I'm glad that I got it back in the rotation.

My collection of Daiwa reels. Ryoga 1016H, Steez A 1016CC, 2 x Steez A 1016H , a Steez SV SLP works, SS SV and a SV Light Limited

Super sweet collection Barramaniac!!

How do you like that SV Light Limited? What rod do you have it on and what gram lure range do you usually throw on it? Been thinking about one.

haven't had a chance to use it much yet as only picked up the rod for it last week. the rod is a bit of an unknown on here as its from Singapore . its a Bone Voyage 634L BFS 6'3" 4 piece rod. I will be using this for 3 to 10 gram casting range.

Daiwa Tatulas


Daiwa PXL Type R

My Steez A XH, with 100mm Tatula HD handle, RCS Power knobs, Sunline BMS 10lb, and Zillion SV TW spool. So far really liking it for a power finesse reel.

Good Lord. Ive been contemplating the Steez A TW, now that the Zillion SV TW has about ruined me. And yet, I still dont really care for the TWS, but the reel itself is just soo awesome. I would imagine the Steez is noticeably better?

It is smoother and more refined, but I really still like my Zillion SV TW's. The gap is marginal, not because the Steez A isn't awesome, just because my Zillion SV TW's are pretty good too. The main difference I notice is that with the exact spool and same line, for some reason the Steez A TW cast further. Around 10 yards it seems. No matter how I set the Zillion SV TW (which still bombs), the Steez A casts further with the Zillion SV TW spool. I personally like the clicking drag and wonder why more freshwater low profile casting reels don't have it. From my current experience, I will probably add another Steez A. Should have 2 Steez A spools for sell then.
