SsSv help

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.

SsSv help

Post by goldrod » Sat Apr 10, 2021 9:08 pm

Is there a way to put a clicking drag cap on this reel?
I’ve upgraded the gears to 7.9:1
Real Four 1016 G1 spool
Carbonex drag
Ziaon long arm drag star and 90mm handle with Steez A knobs
Steez nose piercing
I think that’s is a good bit but I want a clicking ccc or I’ll just get rid of it.
Seems unfair cause all my Steez reels have the clinking ccc

Please help

I had one with an slp works dress up kit and it had the parts to convert it to a clicking CCC so yeah it’s available to do.

SLP works had a kit to change the og tatula to a clicking cc cap. Its the same thread pattern as the Steez/SS SV, so should work fine. The tatula kit comes with a cc cap, but it has that stupid tribal spider on it. I know someone who put that kit on a Fuego and used a TDZ cc cap.

I have a Steez A spool in my SS/SV. Wish I had put the 8 ratio gears in my 7.1. I use mine for cranking and jerkbaits on a 7ft medium moderate rod, really like the reel though, might change it to a contact rod where I'd use it more. Worst thing about that reel is the super low drag pressure stock...

The 8:1 conversion kit from TTT changes the drag to a multidisc stacked drag. Gives it a much stronger drag vs the stock single disc.

Thanks Jorrick!

Just the stock spool with a Rays kit to help free it up some.

I beg someone else to try the Steez A spool in there... It loses some light lure casting ability, but something with the over braked profile reduces when a Magforce Z spool is added. I use 12lb fluoro with a cranking rod and it BOMBS baits. Main reason I used the SS/SV for cranking was the lower stock drag pressure. I wish someone else would try it and see if I am crazy...

You aren't crazy. Most of the braking profile is in the spool, not the magnets. Magnet strength does make a difference, as in the type r+ spool is wild in a steez, but excellent in a TDZ. One of the ss sv I used to fish had a steez 100 spool in it and that mag-z spool would absolutely bomb a squarebill.
