After a lot of time on the water with the new Steez SV TW, I agree 100%. In terms of palming comfort, the teardrop shape of this generation Steez SV TW, as difficult as it is to say, is at least equal to if not better in my hands than my beloved TD-Z platform. I'm not getting rid of all my TD-Z platform reels at this point, partially because the new ZPI spools are amazing in them too, but I am adding a few Steez SV TW...Hogsticker2 wrote:Sexiness aside, which is personal preference, the new Steez platform blows the old clean outta the water in terms of both comfort and performance. I'm not sure how anyone who had used both could argue against that. I get some folks don't care for the T wing. I was hesitant at 1st as well. Wouldn't want to live without this reel now.

I also cosign on the new Steez SV TW's; best Steez platform so far, IMO. i just recently added 3 SLP Semiorder's and love them. I know a lot of people are turned off by the t-wing design, but I think theyre awesome.bronzefly wrote:After a lot of time on the water with the new Steez SV TW, I agree 100%.

Can't be any worse than that crap job they did on the limited Steez 105s. The paint peels if you look at it wrong.SSS wrote:The paint job looks cheap.
Re: Daiwa 2018 SV LIGHT LTD-TN
Yea, I picked up a used one in pretty great shape but was shocked when I managed to scrape a bit of paint off with my fingernail. I'm not in love with it and stopped fishing it due to being afraid that the slightest mishap could tank it's resale value.Hogsticker2 wrote:Can't be any worse than that crap job they did on the limited Steez 105s.

Sure is. But at least the limited steez looks nice. This on the other hand, looks like a $180 reel supposed to compete with the Curado K. In other words, not very high end looking.Hogsticker2 wrote:Can't be any worse than that crap job they did on the limited Steez 105s.

Looks like a reel made from spare parts.
