Re: SV Series!
The Steez SVs are great reels! I had one for a bit and I was very impressed with it. I just happened to find a reel that I wanted more, so I ended up selling the SV.
I see you swapped out the knobs.

And whomever got your Steez scored one helluva deal!
Re: SV Series!
Swapping the knobs was on my agenda. The originals weren't bad once you got used to them though. I definitely like the looks of the corks better, however. Now you need to put some purple caps on them and "bling" it out like your orange and black Steez.
I always try to pay it forward when I sell my gear.389Maverick wrote: And whomever got your Steez scored one helluva deal!

How does it feel compared to the SS SV? Initial impressions? Assuming you haven't had it on the water yet.

Also curious, does the frame/body feel closer to the older steez or ss SV ?Hogsticker2 wrote:How does it feel compared to the SS SV? Initial impressions? Assuming you haven't had it on the water yet.

Love my SS SV's, but they never did translate as good as the Steez.
I was afraid of losing that crisp feeling due to the Zaion, but it really doesn't feel sluggish at all.
Unfortunately in Canada, ice is settling in, won't be a while till I get her out on the water.

Thanks for the welcome!
Re: SV Series!
I was like you, I was very suprised when I held it in my hands. I absolutely hate the original knobs though! Thanks to Ham Solo for the great deal on mine!

Re: SV Series!
I have a couple of them and looking at getting another but thought I would give the EX a try first. Can anyone compare the SV with the EX ?
Does the EX come in a faster gear ration than 6:3:1 for lefties ? Answer is, YES - Thanks Ian
Also, what are the suggested knobs to get ?
