Key Features of DAIWA 2019 STEEZ CT SV TW

SV (Super Versatile) CONCEPT

The SV concept maximizes the effectiveness of magnetic brakes to deliver practical advantages in a field. It significantly reduces the risk of backlash, making casting easier and more effortless. With minimal adjustment of the magnetic dial, the SV concept allows for a wide range of lure weights—from lightweight rigs around 4 to 5 grams to heavier lures—to be handled smoothly and without stress.

CT SV-SPOOL

The CT (Compact & Tough) CONCEPT features a compact body and a φ30mm G1 Duralumin CT SV SPOOL. The CT SV SPOOL, with its exceptional initial acceleration, not only offers versatile performance but also extends into the realm of finesse, delivering an unprecedented casting feel. The small-diameter design significantly improves accuracy in low-trajectory casts. Additionally, unlike spools specifically designed for bait finesse, the CT SV SPOOL spool boasts strength and durability, handling heavy lines of 16lb. or more. This makes it highly effective in increasingly demanding bass fishing environments.

G1 DURALUMIN SPOOL

G1 Duralumin is an advanced aluminum alloy that boasts twice the strength of magnesium and is 1.3 times stronger than super-duralumin. Known for being extremely lightweight, this material is also highly rigid, making it the top choice among lightweight alloys used in aircraft structures and precision instruments. To achieve an exceptionally lightweight feel without compromising strength, the winding surface of the spool has been thinned without any blanking in material, preserving its full strength. The result is unmatched rotational responsiveness due to its lightness and highly precise rotation thanks to its superior rigidity.

ULTIMATE CASTING LINE GUIDE(T-Wing System)

Traditional level wind systems were designed, as their name suggests, to lay the line evenly across the spool. However, during casting, they often created resistance, leading manufacturers to experiment with different internal diameters and shapes to enhance line release. But these efforts had their limits. Excessive enlargement of the level wind compromised its original function, restricting advancements to minimal adjustments, such as refining the internal diameter. Some solutions included increasing the distance between the spool and the level wind or narrowing the spool width to prevent the line from hitting the level wind at sharp angles. While partially effective, these methods were essentially temporary fixes that led to side effects such as elongating the reel body, reducing palming comfort, or decreasing line capacity.

DAIWA's TWS (T-Wing System) addresses these contradictions not with compromise but with innovation, achieving both precise line winding and an expanded resistance-free range during line release. By significantly widening the resistance-free zone where the line makes contact with the level wind, particularly right after it leaves the spool, TWS has dramatically enhanced the long-casting performance of DAIWA baitcasting reels. Simultaneously, the smooth line flow facilitated by TWS has proven effective in preventing backlashes.
