It is a good reel, but not a replacement for my dream 1016.Hobie-Wan Kenobi wrote:The Bantam is a quality reel...and thats coming from a Daiwa guy. I think the line guide is kinda a moot point because the heavier lures somewhat negate the friction.SSS wrote:No 3D brakes. Centrifugal brakes. Line guide too close to the spool making it a meh caster (from what i've heard that is). And most importantly above everything else, it doesn't support the steez 34mm spools which is a must for me because i swap spools a ton.goldrod wrote:SSS wrote:I want a Z1016

Hello? I want a Z1016! Would prefer a Magnesium model with brass gears weighting no more than 6.5oz. And i don't want a T wing on it. Leave the sexy looking frame as is.
Shimano gave you the bantam
Bantam is not an answer
Now, if the Z1016 you speak of comes about, that will be nice.
What's REALLY next for Daiwa

Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
I think the Steez A might be the closest thing we get to a Z1016
Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
Ok what is weight of Steez CT spool?
Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
Alphas CT SV is 9.4g with bearing, the steez will be here by the end of the week so I'll see if they have the same spool or not.MardukFIN wrote:Ok what is weight of Steez CT spool?

There's some spacers in Alphas, right?ss30378 wrote:Alphas CT SV is 9.4g with bearing, the steez will be here by the end of the week so I'll see if they have the same spool or not.MardukFIN wrote:Ok what is weight of Steez CT spool?

Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
Yes, to reduce it from the stock 33mm down to 30mm for the new spool. Also, I think the spool is slightly narrower than other Alphas spools, or it appears that way. Steve will chime in shortly for confirmation.MardukFIN wrote:There's some spacers in Alphas, right?ss30378 wrote:Alphas CT SV is 9.4g with bearing, the steez will be here by the end of the week so I'll see if they have the same spool or not.MardukFIN wrote:Ok what is weight of Steez CT spool?
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
Yes there are spacers for the 30mm spool, one is on the palm side set plate (similar to the air reels) and the other is on the frame. The new spool and spool shaft are quite a bit more narrow. I haven't compared parts to the stock sv105 yet but I'm leaning to a new pinion shaft and maybe even new pinion gear design to make this work. I put the 30mm spool in the pixy and it slides all around.hoohoorjoo wrote:Yes, to reduce it from the stock 33mm down to 30mm for the new spool.

Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
Does the levelwind travel a little less far to each side to compensate for the narrower spool?

Indeed it does.Tim Kelly wrote:Does the levelwind travel a little less far to each side to compensate for the narrower spool?
Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
I feel bad to complain, and I know it is an easy fix, but do the 80mm handles only bother me??? I enjoyed my SS/SV and Alphas SV so much more with 100mm/90mm respectively. I do think that the Steez A was better suited with a stock 90mm (used on Alphas), but the Tatula HD handle I added with the bigger Ryoga style knobs fit the Steez A great.
My question on these new CT reels is whether the basic Daiwa style 90mm handles will work, the lock plate design is a bit different and it had me confused.

Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
Pretty much any Daiwa handle will work. I also dont like the 80mm handles for anything besides BFS. Wil skim on a handle to save weight???DirtyD64 wrote:I feel bad to complain, and I know it is an easy fix, but do the 80mm handles only bother me???

Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
A lot of us prefer 80mm handles for bottom contact work so we can get a quicker handle rotation and get line in faster. 90mm+ for torque applications.DirtyD64 wrote:I feel bad to complain, and I know it is an easy fix, but do the 80mm handles only bother me???
