Two flavors would be cool, but I don't recall Daiwa making two separate same reels different colors for different markets in the past?

Body match with CT Steez but colour doesn't?!

Same color, weird. Anyone notice the Steez SV TW is not listed on the website?

Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
I noticed they have have the same IPT listed for both ratios. That's nothing new for Daiwa USA, though.Hogsticker2 wrote:Same color, weird. Anyone notice the Steez SV TW is not listed on the website?
This is the way.
Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
Still on the Japan website but seems to have disappeared from the US one.Hogsticker2 wrote:Same color, weird. Anyone notice the Steez SV TW is not listed on the website?

Well, at least the Megaforce twitchin' bar reel is still on there. Let's count our blessings, guys.iabass8 wrote:Still on the Japan website but seems to have disappeared from the US one.Hogsticker2 wrote:Same color, weird. Anyone notice the Steez SV TW is not listed on the website?

Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
699 as I mentioned. Ridiculous
Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
Based on U.S. prices, I see no reason to buy the domestic version when they JDM version is much cheaper (Japan Tackle has it for $529.00).
Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
I don't see how they expect to sell at $700. That is unreal, for that price you could get an SV TW Steez AND ZPI spool from the US with the recent added $50. A smaller frame and 30mm spool shouldn't warrant an increase that premium; doesn't really bother me though, I would obviously order JDM.

Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
I got mine for $485 shipped from JLS, and a free Vision 110. It got here in 3 business days from Japan. But the OG Steez was $650 before they went to the EX model. Don't know why anyone would pay that much for this reel, unless they just don't know about buying JDM. On the up side-when they don't sell well here, Daiwa USA will discount them down to about what you would pay from Japan. Then you can have one with a warranty, if that sort of thing bothers you.JWR075 wrote:Based on U.S. prices, I see no reason to buy the domestic version when they JDM version is much cheaper (Japan Tackle has it for $529.00).
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
JDM prices might shoot up in a reaction to the TW price. I picked up my Alphas SV for $185 from Japan off Ebay where they were that price all day everyday until the the reel was launched in the US as the SV105 and priced at $225. Alphas SV prices shot up overnight in reaction to the SV105 price.

Re: What's REALLY next for Daiwa
i'm not generally 1 to complain about pricing, you either will spend whatever or you won't, but this seems a tad bit extreme to me.
