Daiwa Steez 103HL
Re: Daiwa Steez 103HL
BTW , there are TWO G1 spool in the for sale section, and he's asking a superb price in my opinion. I paid more than what he's asking for and for only one. Just FYI.
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible

Re: Daiwa Steez 103HL
The ss sv would be similar to the steez 103h? Also the regular g1 or g1 sv?goldrod wrote: ↑Sat Jun 29, 2019 9:51 pmI had that rod and I sold it HOWEVER initially I wasn't getting what I knew my reel was capable of.
The reel is an SS SV with 7.9:1 gears tuned by Ian and I had a MB honeycomb spool in it. When i put a G1 spool in it I was like wow.
The taper of that rod is odd to me which is why I sold it. Good rod no doubt but takes some getting used to and the reel HAS to be set up right. I can attest to this from my personal experience and I have some pics to. I ended up throwing 3/8 riot bait mini jig on it in deep water, wacky rig fishing with it and I did do some jerk bait fishing with it. If i had to do it over from the start, I would just have gone with a G1 spool.. That spool on a brake setting of 3.0-3.5 in my experience, delivers.. Good Luck
Thanks. I haven't fished the rod yet but bought it on impulse to try the ags guides and read a lot of good stuff about it both here and bassresource. We'll see.

Right, I've been talking to him but they are for a steez A and I'm not sure how they will work. I've seen some issues with them not fitting in reels. I think it has a fixed inductor.

Re: Daiwa Steez 103HL
I've got a steez 1016sv g1 on the way to try out thanks to hogsticker2 and his friend. I just realized my brother has a steez A so I can at least try that out and see if it works. Also the more ive been reading about the 103 spool the more I want to use it. Also read a lot of people liked the 1000sv spool in the steez. So anyway I've got some playing around to do.
Now I just need to get a carbon fiber handle and cork knobs
Thanks everyone

Re: Daiwa Steez 103HL
Just wanted to update. I used the steez sv tw spool in the reel and it worked very well with a 1/8 oz jighead with a 5 inch rubber worm with 10lb fluorocarbon on a 7' M-MH rod.
I ended up finding a decent deal on a Steez SV TW though and sold the 103hl.
Thanks for all the help
