DAIWA Steez SV TW 1012SV-XH

There is no backlash, and it has a wide range of applications, from ultra-lightweight bait finesse class to big bait. The material is ultra-lightweight G1 duralumin, with a diameter of 34 mm, which provides high rotation performance and high strength. It also has a turnaround TWS that is installed on Tatula and NEW Zillion. The large-diameter level wind does not interfere with the release of the line, preventing problems caused by convergence while fully demonstrating long-distance casting ability and free fall performance. This is where the cutting-edge technology that DAIWA bait reels are proud of has been fused.

The fusion of TWS and SV. What kind of big bang will occur there?

"TWS+SV is not just an addition," says a DAIWA bait reel development engineer. As explained earlier, the key to both mechanisms is trouble-free. SV improves rotation performance with a lightweight and high-precision spool, while also determining the appropriate braking force depending on the lure used. On the other hand, the TWS has a T-shaped level wind that delivers the line released from the spool without resistance. Backlash is a problem that occurs when the level wind, which is the source of resistance closest to the spool, prevents the line from being released, while the spool continues to rotate with increased momentum. It is not difficult to imagine that the combination of the SV, which has optimal braking power, and the TWS, which has excellent line release power, creates a great synergistic effect. It is a truly revolutionary mechanism.
The mechanical brake is now sufficient with minimal operation. It is equipped with a zero adjuster that does not need to be touched again once it is set to a level where there is no rattle in the spool. The air metal body made of ultra-lightweight magnesium material provides high support rigidity. Although it has a compact body that fits in the palm of your hand, it is equipped with a drive gear that is one size larger than the previous model, improving winding comfort and durability. The second generation uses a new color that is matte (matte) but has a lustrous finish, making it a model that appeals not only to its appearance but also to its functions.
As for the weight, it's 160g, almost the same as the first generation. Despite the addition of more parts such as TWS and large diameter gears, which inevitably increase the weight, the weight has been kept at the same level thanks to a review of the materials used in each part. At one point, they even considered trying to get it to the 130g range, but in pursuit of "maximum ease of use," they did not attempt to reduce the weight unnecessarily, instead pursuing a sense of rigidity, high durability, and a solid texture.
