Search 4x7 shim on eBay.

A lot of nice changes were made to the new Levante this year. I definitely think it was more of an improvement than the xx revamp, and at least these don’t look just like the xxx rods. I really dig the locking nut on the reel seat on the new rods.

My newest TDZ getting ready for paint. Sorry, painting services are not for sale.

It’s really not an improvement over a stock steez 100 spool. It’s also designed for lures 1/2oz +
As Adam already mentioned... adding the hlc spring to a stock steez spool will give you basically the same result.

The SV103 with Zillion 50th 7.3 gears is my new jam. I feel the 7.3s have ever so slightly more power, slightly slower, but seem much more durable. I replaced 2 sets of 7.9s for getting rough after two seasons. The 7.3 I have is well seasoned and still smooth as glass. I just put 7.3 gears into my ...

SV103 (non steez) in the 7:9:1 ratio or if a 6:3:1 is a good enough deal you can spend $30 and swap a faster set of gears into it. Built like a tank and balances out very well on the xx perfect pitch. I have no issues with casting distance using sv spools. I’m not sure why a lot of people think the...

There’s a flat washer that’s under the stock star that goes on top of the drag spring washers. You can add 1 more of the flat washers to gain a little clearance between the two parts.

The last rod I bought on Buyee ended up running me $150.

You can order the pinion shaft through Tackle Trap in AL.

I had a Grigio Titanio with Pxr 6.8 gears and the Rcs 1012SV spool in it which required a Steez pinion shaft. That spool is a performer in other reels of mine and it was no different in the block. I could cast anything I tried in the 5-11g range.

I just tend to remember what’s in what reel 9/10 times. Some are dead giveaway’s like my Zpi spools, and others I know by color or what the reel is. I know my Alphas sv and Zonda 68 both have the same spool. The SV103’s have the same spools also but in different colors. I guess because I use certain...

You have a bunch of good options available for this task. For me I go by this... Gears - grease Worm gear - grease Frame bearings - grease Spool bearings - oil I use Abu silicote or Daiwa blue grease and Zpi F-0 oil, or Daiwa bearing oil if I’m out of the other. There’s also Shimano grease and Cal’s...

Been using these for years.
