Daiwa Steez SV TW - New 2024 Version First Look! Goodbye Shimano?! 

@raz8323 Not familiar with a Silverado 30" rod or what the specs are on it. Both reels are great but expensive. It's all up to what you are trying to throw & what type of fishing. I have the Daiwa Steez CT SV TW reels.

@@haywardsautomotive6156 thank you for speedest answer:) lure : 1) jig 7-12 gramm 2) minnow 65-110 - twitch

@raz8323 Either reel but they are expensive. The 24 Steez will be better for your application.

@@haywardsautomotive6156 last question :)) tell my why 24 ?))

@@haywardsautomotive6156 last question )) why better ?))

I DON"T KNOW, but Japan will release six new models this year. A Lot of them will feature the carbon grip.

New Destroyers with the Mad Bull and Super Destroyer carbon handles? I hope so I want more options.

Yes that true. Shimano is pretty proud of their Ultima rods….so that both can get a little full of themselves!

@@TheArchEtech absolutely, along with Evergreen and Megabass with their top of the line rods.

We might see the 6.7 at some point in the USA, but nothing is planned for now since 6:1 are the worst selling gear ratio.

I think the only difference is the spool size, and maybe also handle paddles.

I’d probably do an A, but depends on the rod

Thanks for watching

It depends on what bait you are using…

Watch punch Fishings video, the answer is no. It’s an entirely different reel including the frame. It’s like saying the Antares is the same as the metanium except the Antares weighes as much as a brick

I’m not Ben, but yes

Depends what the lure is. Steez A is what I use for heavier baits that cast well, and SV TW for mid weight baits or baits that don't cast well.

@@thehookuptackle_usa i am looking for a reel to cast jigs, swimbaits, soft plastics usually in the range of 1oz

It’s really more about the spool and reel weight, the reel itself in both cases handle pretty much anything just fine other than really tiny 1/16” stuff into the wind which I have yet to find a baitcaster can do better than a spinning setup. The A and AII are slightly heavier then the SV-TW, the A have bigger line capacity but you can swap out the G1 and SV spools between many of the models. An SV spool on the A gives you a differnt range in the A. The G1 spool on SV-TW model gives you the line capacity on the lighter reel. The CT and the Air models share the same spool size so you can swap them around too but they don’t fit the A and regular SV-TW. Yes supposedly the braking is tuned differently but to be honest I can tell a whole lot of difference in the A with and SV spool vs. the SV-TW. I think you’d be happy with either, with an extra spool to fill in the line weight and capacity gaps if you don’t just want to get both reels ;). I have both but I’ve swapped out the spools just to experiment they just aren’t that much different. Rod action line and spool itself are bigger factors on how they cast and fish the baits.

This is like 10 levels better

I have the 400 and what I understand is the 300 and 400 are the same size body but a different size spool.

@@crimsiin9918 yeah that’s what one other person said. It’s hard to believe that they’re so little information actually out there on them and there’s really no pictures of any of them side-by-side to see the difference .

@@corybodiker6243 yea that’s what I was wondering about when I ordered my 400. I think someone has a picture if you type 300 vs 400 md on Swimbait underground.

Depends what rod you're putting it on and what type of lure and what you need the reel to do. 300 would likely be enough.

@@crimsiin9918 that's not the case. 400 is much larger.

Next month

I’ve got a bunch.

@@alford35Great how do I contact you?

Both good reels, and if you like those reels then you’d be styling 👍

I've never used it in a single video, because I've never really liked it as I said. You're confusing the SV TW with the Steez A, which I have used in every video, because I love them. I know you meant well though.

I paid $400 for this reel. And no, the Shimano isn't better.

400 for a Met? I paid 29000 yen for a brand new one in Japan. 😂

you can get a met mgl for less than half price...no it's not the best reel on the market. it's good but it's not a steez.

Metaniums are good reels, but they’re nowhere close to a Steez. Zillion would be a better comparison.

I like my metaniums also the bantams. Have also some zillions but use more the bantams and metaniums

In the future if you buy it from us we would have replaced that for you 🍻

If it wanted to be like the Antares it would be twice the weight and bulky.

@@thehookuptackle_usa I'm talk the glossy chrome finish paint job and the flate non-adjustable tension knob, that resemble the Antares DC a lot

The Steez really do not feel or look like the Antares but I am a little surprised steez doesn’t yet have something to specifically compete with it. The A is probably the closest but it’s still not a monster drive. The beefiness, and power is a step up on the Antares but it comes with significant weight over any of the steez models. For cranking and large spinner baits the Antares is better. It’s just toques along all day like nothing. It can actually cast lighter stuff too fantastically but since is so much heavier as a rig it end up feeling overpowered for 1/8 oz - 1/4 stuff but the ability to cast that kind of stuff is more about the rod.

@@TheArchEtechread my comment 5x more times again before you give me this huge speech; Daiwa fan boy 😂 guess the rumors is true Daiwa fan boy does get their butt hurt very easily 😂

This is a great comment, and the reason why choices are such a good thing. Not every reel is perfect for every person. I'm the exact opposite of you; I don't love the form factor of the Shimano (Except Bantam and Met DC). Choices are good.

Not get rough feeling gears.

Casting short distances, sounding like a spinning reel, having plastic sideplates, being less sensitive, and having a short hood that lets you hit the t-wing with your thumb.

@@TheWaymont Thats funny, all of my daiwas are newer and used less than my mets and bantams but are less smooth.

Shimano all the way. I think a Metanium is the gold standard for performance to price. Casts amazing, solid feeling, and price is right in the jdm market. Bantam is awesome on a longer heavier rated rod.

@@alexandermenningmann5469 exactly, it is the best middleweight reel and the price point is perfect. The bantam is best for heavier bigger baits and around tight cover with infinitydrive and the aldebaraan is perfect for lighter finess baits. Imo there’s no reason to buy a daiwa, more expensive but cheaply built, design flaws, worse performance, and less sensitivity.

Shawn, Who paying you $20-50 take a zillion, I need this hook up 😂. I can pretty much get two Steez for thut prices.

Did you watch the video? I answered those questions :).

Yeah of course I watched it lol 😂 but why wouldn't they put magseal in the sv tw? I get that magnesium and saltwater don't mix but idk if daiwa was going to charge top dollar you would think they would load it up with everything!

Why is that?

@@thehookuptackle_usa Shimano is crazy? haha. Idk. I'm super happy with the MGL and 100 Tatula series reels at ~$225.

Where? 😭

With that logic, you can also buy a 24 Steez for $370 from Japan. And this is not only $50 better, it’s like $10000000000000000000000 better… 😹🫵🏼

You wouldn't be disappointed if you used it.

to be fair it does give something to blame your poor luck on if you do commit the taboo

I make my own luck

Can't take you seriously if you're not spelling it right. Steez reels are made in Japan, not China.

@@FrankTheRabbit yea ok.. and who machines the parts.. it ain't Japan.. and I was a steel machinist for 15 years

@@dirtyfisherman9188 You’re probably one of those “if it ain’t built in America, I don’t want it” type of guys. You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. I hope you know china and Japan are two different countries. lol

I see.

@@rickybudeanu3002 I'm fully aware they are two different countries.. I know alot about metal and machinery.. and those small metal parts are coming from China

You have experience with it?

@@thehookuptackle_usa indeed. Ordered it from Amazon Japan. Price is about 500 Dollar but I cannot See any Upgrade over a Zillion or Metanium for half the Money

@@thehookuptackle_usa indeed. Bought it from Amazon Japan for 480 Eur... Metanium and Zillion throw at least as good and cost half the money. Daiwa steez is for Tackle Nerds WHO want a Steez Logo ob their reels and Magnesium frame.

@@thehookuptackle_usa indeed. Bought it from Amazon Japan for 480 Eur. But IT does not outperform my Zillion and Metanium for half the Money.

Good to have options right? 🤘

I would luv see Steez finally out perform the Antares. Then see Shimano answer to the Steez.

@@kwd1253 this has been happening for a decade.

@@thehookuptackle_usa yeah, but it almost time for new Antares for 25-26

Great part about shimano too, they actually make reels that you can hold without having your finger hit the line guide
