Fished with the Zillion SV TWS for two days at Clear Lake a couple of weeks ago and it was a good experience also. But, I decided to go with the Steez SV TW, especially with 20% off and no sales tax for a Veterans Day sale.

Re: OG Steez vs Steez TW
The stronger / weaker magnets play a role as well obviously. But yes, you can accomplish close to the same results with the RIGHT SV spool in an OG. Where the Steez SV TW excels over the OG is for finesse - power finesse applications. That's been my experience anyways, especially with the Zpi Nrc001-m spool, which I wouldn't personally use in an OG as the inductor is much to smallSSS wrote:I feel like this is more of an SV spool advantage than the reel itself.

Re: OG Steez vs Steez TW
From personal experience, the weaker magnets aren't that much of a deal in the OG steez when using SV spools.

Re: OG Steez vs Steez TW
^ Hmmm. Better than in SV Steez?
Re: OG Steez vs Steez TW
For fluoro? Absolutely. Not for braid. For braid i would go with the rcs1016 or the R+ spool from the steez 103 (and this is for long distance casting. If distance is not important to you, an SV spool will be better suited).jvelth74 wrote:^ Hmmm. Better than in SV Steez?

Depends on the inductor size.

Re: OG Steez vs Steez TW
Not sure if the magnetic profile is the same from the OG Steez to the SS SV, but the 1012SV spool in my SS SV will cast into low-earth orbit and is still controlled.Hogsticker2 wrote:Depends on the inductor size.

Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

og steez and the ss sv have the same magnets. i also do agree that the 1012sv is the longest casting sv spool i tried on the og steezhoohoorjoo wrote:Not sure if the magnetic profile is the same from the OG Steez to the SS SV, but the 1012SV spool in my SS SV will cast into low-earth orbit and is still controlled.Hogsticker2 wrote:Depends on the inductor size.

Re: OG Steez vs Steez TW
Hmm, that hasn't been my experience. SS SV has stronger magnets, with the SV103 coming in at a close 2nd
Re: OG Steez vs Steez TW
Are you using the original spool in your SS SV? Because it has a very tall inductor, and its what's overbreaking. If you have an R or R+ spool, try them in your og steez and the ss sv, you'll see, the difference in control is the same. SV103 does have stronger magnets.Hogsticker2 wrote:Hmm, that hasn't been my experience. SS SV has stronger magnets, with the SV103 coming in at a close 2nd

I have an original JDM Steez 103HL when the Steez first hit the market. I use it hard every year long and would never part with it.

Re: OG Steez vs Steez TW
Yeah, I took mine out today with the new Steez SV105 spool and it casts like a dream. I have it spooled with 15# J-Braid and mounted on a Major Craft MSX 65ml (6'5" 3/16-1/2 mod-fast action) and it is a 110 fishing machine! Good long casts even out of that short rod with only a slight hint of backlash in calm conditions with the brakes on 3. Could go lower if I thumbed it more. That spool can be as controlled as you want or as fast as you want without getting too wild. That's the only bait I casted with it today, though, so I don't know how well it would do with 1/4 or less, but I have a feeling it will handle 1/8 without issue.SSS wrote:Are you using the original spool in your SS SV?

Re: OG Steez vs Steez TW
It's the SLP works. Red. I wanted purple to better complement the gold on my SS/SV, but couldn't find a good deal on one. Got a great deal on the classifieds here. Anyway, it's a great spool for that reel. Much better than stock, and I actually liked that one for mid range accuracy. The Steez will hang with that and still let you bomb casts.Hogsticker2 wrote:Which SV105 spool?poisonokie wrote:Yeah, I took mine out today with the new Steez SV105 spool and it casts like a dream.
