Steez A deep cranks?
Steez A deep cranks?
I want to buy a Steez A for deep cranking but I am stuck between the 5.3 and 6.3 gear ratio. I’ll be using cranks as large as the
Big M 7.0.
I would like more IPT than the 22” the 5.3 offers but I am concerned about cranking power if I go with the 6.3. I would like to hear everyone’s general thoughts about this. I would also like to hear if anyone has used the 6.3 Steez A for big deep cranks.

Re: Steez A deep cranks?
I ignored the Steez A for the longest time and decided to try one back in September. I now own four of them as well as a Morethan. I quickly realized what I had been missing out on. I have always preferred an OG Zillion variant in 6.3 for deep cranks and while I haven’t spent a ton of time deep cranking with the Steez A, I will say that the 6.3 has plenty of power and will be my reel of choice for this technique. Curious to hear what others have say.

Our Aussie members here are using them for 40# barrmundi, so the gears are certainly durable. I really want to try one, as well, but haven't got around to it.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

I've thrown the Big M 7.0 on the 6.3 Steez A, along with 1 oz spinner baits, and other larger, heavier resistance type baits without issue. The Steez A is a tank of a reel and the 6.3 has plenty of power for those kinds of applications. I do have the 5.3 as well that I use for slow crawling certain baits, but it really doesn't feel like it has significantly more torque than the 6.3.

I use my Steez A 5.3 for deep cranking and love it. I'll throw up to a 8xd with no problem. Haven't tried a 10xd as I don't have any

There are some guys who are using Steez A in order to throw swimbaits from 1-3oz...

Slightly unrelated, but my JDM XH version has plenty of power. Never fished huge cranks with it, but it feels very strong while fighting a fish and with lighter resistance baits. I feel like 5 speed reels will eventually phase out, 6 speed area (mid 20's IPT) has plenty of torque with newer technology and gears.

I ran the 6 since they released for cranks and had to replace gears last year cause they were shredded.
