Steez HA gear sets. Possible to go higher than 6.3:1?

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.

Steez HA gear sets. Possible to go higher than 6.3:1?

Does anyone know if there are gear sets available for the original Steez (lefty) that would be faster than the stock 6.3:1? If you have a source that would be awesome.

No sadly. The 6:3 is limited to 6:3 only. The 7:1 can take the higher ratio gears

Yes it is. Unfortunately, the parts needed to convert the left hand TD-Z and Steez to 7:1 were discontinued, but The Tackle Trap worked with Daiwa to custom order the necessary parts keep this option alive!

The TD-Z or Steez Left Hand 7:1 Conversion Kit will be available to order sometime this fall if all the parts arrive as anticipated. The website will be updated at that time.

Everytime I read about the 7:1 LH TDZ/Steez 103/105 conversion, I'm always hoping that there will eventually be an option for RH crank!

They have finally arrived! These are the last ones that will be made. If you like your LH TD-Z being 7:1 with brand new brass gears, stock up on a few.
