Maybe its the Steez CT SV in the 8.1.
Looked too big to be that reel at first.

The handle knobs threw me too. Those are not the stock knobs on the CT.

Yeah; it’s probably more comfortable for him that way. Might be a longer handle too. This ct is the only daiwa I can think of that I really did not feel comfortable with out of the box. I kept gauging myself on it while trying to reel after hookset trying to work the tiny thing fast with my big hands. I threw on a 100 mm handle I had laying around that came off a morethan and it quickly became one of my favorite reels. Simple fix.

Definitely a steez ct in the 8.1:1 gear ratio.
Looks like a different handle with the bigger daiwa paddle knobs.

Yeah he just swapped a handle probably and kept the big knobs. I love my RCS "large" knobs but they stopped selling them.
