I've got the Zillion SV TW G1 spool in a few of mine, mainly the ones I use for pitching or skipping. Otherwise I just keep the stock Steez G1 in them. It's a solid spool, essentially a 103 13g and to improve it I'd probably have to drop the coin for a M/P spool.

I fished a Steez A since last fall and quickly found it to be a great reel. I tore it down and serviced it to my liking. It remains smooth and is an excellent casting reel, I have a multitude of spools to mess with which I enjoy. With extra spools I change from fishing clear water reservoirs to the...

This year I will be giving the nrx 916 a shot. I picked it up a month ago. Still planning on picking up the MB Warhammer also. I switched to the 916 this year. It's a great stick, but heavy compared to say the 795DX. For all day punching I can see it wearing my butt out lol. The DX795 is a special ...

I've got 7 or 8 of them now... Overall I like them. Pretty much all my NRX/Bottom Contact setups have Steez A or SVTW's, and my moving bait setups have TD-Z's. I posted a while back on this forum or maybe a different one there are a few things that annoy me a bit, but not enough that I stopped buyin...

It will be horrible. Don't even try it. Just send that 100m spool to me

LOL been looking for one forever, they are getting hard to find. 36mm is dying

Not Morethan related directly, but I notice a few comments on the sideplate. I will say this, the new Steez sideplate is one thing I really don't like about the new versions. It's much harder to adjust the brake dial. With OG versions/style, it was quick and easy flick with a thumb. Now sometimes I...

I will point out, the first two reels you listed that you were consider both have "help" for casting ie DC and SV - so if you are new to baitcasting and were looking at those two for that reason, then also consider that the Tatula also comes in an SV version.

I've got the blue Tatula based one, have used it on a few trips at the Jetty's with no complaints. I run 30lb JBraid on it. The knobs are kinda funky, but I haven't changed them out yet.

The Zillion based Coastal is probably a better/stronger reel, but getting hard to find.

Jigs/Creatures, Hi Speed for sure. Any bottom contact you are better off with 7+ or better. I have 8:1 A's on my primary JWR rods and CRR rod. At 1/2oz, go ahead and get the A. The SV TW, while not a finesse reel, is definitely more on the finessey side of the 2 new model Steez reels and works bette...

Another Megabass Cork user - have put them on pretty much all my Steez that came with paddles. WTF Daiwa was thinking there is beyond me. I guess somebody likes paddles since they are putting them on pretty much everything now .

You can get these eyepiece cases which are essentially the same thing as most spool cases you would get from alixexpress or jdm sites, etc at half the price - the 37x60mm is the one you want for most baitcasters. https://agenaastro.com/parts-accessories/cases-covers/eyepiece-filter-cases.html https:...

Thanks, I'll be on the lookout for a classic 842 mbr then .

As already mentioned, really for two different applications. Z-TR is a brute, a workhorse of a reel. Steez A is more refined, but still able to handle pretty much any common bass applications, and some light saltwater as well. Steez SV TW comes in and handle the lighter stuff. I have 6 Steez A's (3 ...

I have a steez sv tw and have tried a handful of spools in it. I’m sure I’ll be alone in what I have to say but these are my findings based on what I throw. Which is usually 1/4 - 3/4oz baits. Testing was done with 8-14 gram baits. Stock steez sv tw 1016 G1 (what came with it) Stock steez sv tw 101...
