Daiwa 14 SS SV 103SHL Weak Drag

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.

The finished product with a strong and still smooth drag.

Hey what did you do to increase the drag in your SS SV? I can't see the pic.

Likely switched out all the drag washers with carbontex

I ended up putting the Tackle Trap kit that gives you a 3 washer stack but if you get a new drag washer and use drag grease you can get a little more power out if it.

The SS SV has a single stack drag assembly. The main gear doesn't have the notches for the eared washers that are required for the multi-stack drag assembly to fit and work.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

SS SV105s do though. They are the SS SVs to get but are kind of rare compared to the abundance of SS SV103s out there.

Same problem with steez namiki, has the same gear/drag from ss sv 103. I run mine dry, still slips on hookset if not completely tightned down.
