Steez A Gears

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.

G81-4101 for 6.3:1 or H63-6301 for 7.1:1

Use stock drag with clicker pawl and spring pulled out or order the drag washers from this schematic below.

I am successfully running a og zillion main gear in a steez a but have to use the steez a pinion.
Something we'll need to work on. I'm pulling the sleeves out of my A and see what mods the yoke may need to get the OG gears fitted. I got a tatula yoke in the bin somewhere...............
pretty sure the slot in the pinion where the yoke goes is at different heights for the steez a vs og zillion pinion. but in the og zillion range there is a main gear to match 3 out of the 4 ratios available in the steez A , 5.3:1 from the j dream , 6.3:1 and 7.1:1 I have done the mod with a 6.3:1 og zillion main gear and steez A pinion and it is nice and smooth, I removed the o rings from the main shaft and use 2 carbontex washers , one under and one in the main gear and use the steez A drag plate minus the clicker pawl and spring.
Why not use the stacked drag from the OG?

I want mine to be 5.3:1 and have a set of gears order. I don't have the OEM pinion and they aren't selling them yet(for repair only). I'm thinking a Tat yoke has the similar slot location and might be mod-able to get the OG gear set installed? Its my next project after the Coastal-TW 200 drag mod...........
After some measuring/comparing. Moding the yoke was a no go.......... But, There should be enough of the OG ZLN/Steez pinions to mod them. I have a 6.3:1 lefty ordered and access to a lathe. I'll post once I get a chance to tinker. I also have a 4.9:1 and 5.3:1 set ordered as well.

Modified set of SS SV 5.3:1 gears are in my Steez A and set for testing. Had to use a spacer where the OG yoke slot was on the pinion as a filler. Looking for recommendations on what I could use to fill the old slot area?

I'd post pic's of the modified pinion, But they usually just disappear........... :?

The Tackle Trap can help with all things Daiwa.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
