Daiwa Steez A TW vs Daiwa Steez SV TWS

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Daiwa Steez A TW vs Daiwa Steez SV TWS

Post by freelancer27 » Tue May 09, 2017 2:33 pm

Hi all,

I am deciding between the two reels:

* Daiwa Steez A TW Casting Reel 
* Daiwa Steez SV TWS Casting Reels

I would like to use the reel for some inshore fishing as well. The Aluminium one seems to be the choice here but I on this Japanese tackle website it seems like  this is also indicated for salt water use: http://japantackle.com/casting-reels/da ... 00195.html

Has anyone had the chance to fish either / both of them?

What ya guys thinking?

Steez A because for that money, I wouldn't want to worry about corrosion.

Steez A , i have waited many years for an alloy Steez, got one and love it. Have a second one on the way. About time the saltwater fishos got something. Dont trust magnesium no mater what coatings they put on them, one scratch and the magnesium will start to dissolve like aspro clear.

Will the SV TWS handle, with bearings, fit on the A TW?

Or you could keep the stock handle on the Steez A and add 4 pack of Hedgehog Studio handle knob bearings very easily... The Tackle Trap installs these on every Steez A we sell prior to shipping out when guys use the "TT10" discount code at checkout on the site.

Thanks all.

I went with the Steez A. It was the overall winner and I am happy so far with it.
