I am about to order one from my local tackle shop because he will give me a discount. This will make it cheaper than the JDM Steez SV. I like what Daiwa did with the price on the new USDM Steez.

Have a XS on the way. Should have it by Tuesday.

It looks like the new Fuego's are available on Ebay now too.

I wonder what they changed that added 1oz of weight?

[JerryC]

I don't like how the frame is a slightly different color than the side plates... ill pass i think..

[Bass Junkie]

Cosmetically, it looks cheapened, especially with the mismatching sideplates and frame as JerryC pointed out. It just lacks the look of a high-end Daiwa. Throw in the knobs, which I don't personally care for, and the fact that they added a Zaion gear side sideplate and still managed to gain an ounce, and this looks like one Daiwa I won't be purchasing

Guys!
What is the difference between that reel and Steez SV Limited?
Just knobs and body finish?

[E73Bass]

Where is this 1 oz coming from? 4/10 of an ounce on the 6.3 and 6/10 of an ounce difference on the 8.1. I would reserve judgement on color until someone actually has the reel. Ehrler and Howell have done many tourney videos. st Lawrence and Chesapeake bay. Color looks same. As far as how it compares to JDM SV103.... Who would know except those that have them? Daiwa just received the shipment on 8/31.

Judging by pic???? I get disgrumtled too when TW's pic of plastics look like Green Pumpkin and when I get them they look more like just pumpkin. Do you actually have the reel? SV spools added a whole 4/10 of ounce with the Zaion side plate.

I have a jdm steez sv 6.3l. It weighs 5.5 ounces. Daiwa says on there website that the new usdm steez sv weighs 6.4. That is where the ounce is coming from.

Not comparing same gear ratios...

The 8.1:1 weighs more then the 6.3:1. Both in the US and JDM version.
The US version 6.3:1 weighs 5.8 oz. so actually only 3/10 of oz more if gonna compre to JDM 6.3 steez version and only 1/2 oz more then the 6.3 TN version.
As I stated earlier I was comparing to the EX...USDM to USDM.
