Wondering if any of you have had the annoying ticking that many Steez SV TW have been getting over the years. If you did, make sure its not related to the spool and side plate bearings.
Personally, after using the JDM version for the whole 2021 season, the reel became smoother than new after i've upgraded it with new bearings, and i have not had any ticking issues. If it does somehow happens in the future, i will stop purchasing all newer Daiwa models until this is completely resolved. I really do hope that it doesn't happen because i personally find the new zillion to be the best new reel since the Z2020.
