Steez LTD
Steez LTD
I've not opened up the reel yet to look at the gears. I saw on youtube that someone changed out the gears to a more sturdy set of gears. I was thinking of using this reel for flipping and pair it with the 7'6" Valkyrie rod. Anyone have any issues with this reel?

Absolutely not, one of my favorite reels even when compared to newer reels, the Steez LTD is always with me on the boat

Re: Steez LTD
IIRC, the main gear is hybrid, that is, brass teeth mated to aluminum hub. Someone help me out, its been awhile since I had one open.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

That's what Hobie Wan said about the 8.1 SV Light. I still haven't torn it open yet to find out. Other than my curiosity there's no reason to yethoohoorjoo wrote:IIRC, the main gear is hybrid, that is, brass teeth mated to aluminum hub. Someone help me out, its been awhile since I had one open.

Well I’ll see how they hold up this summer because this is the year of travel

Re: Steez LTD
Another question on the Steez Ltd...
I went to change spool bearing on the stock SV spool and noticed a big/heavy bearing cup on the spool shaft. This has to add 2 or so grams to this spool. I forgot the weigh it but the spool as a whole weighed around 15 grams.
Anyway to take this bearing cup out of the equation with a different size bearing or some other configuration?

Re: Steez LTD
The cup and the bearing are supported by the frame, so they have so effect on the weight of the spool. The rotational mass is all that matters. Sure, a bearing with a lighter inner race and micro ceramic balls will help, but that's because they rotate with the spool, and that goes for the bearing in the sideplate, too. It's sort of like the difference between sprung and unsprung weight on a car.Aquaftm45 wrote:Another question on the Steez Ltd...
