In this video, Part 2: Steez CT SV TW Casting, I will cast a variety of lures and talk about my initial impressions of the Steez CT SV TW and explain why I chose to get it after I was not going to get it initially. I cast cranks, worms and some small baits as well.
I test the smoothness of the retrieve, power and also the clicking drag.
The Daiwa Steez CT SV TW is quite the caster. A very capable reel.
Part 1: Steez CT SV Initial Impressions and Specs: • PART 1: Steez CT SV TW...
There will be some actual on the water footage as well as a tear down of the Steez CT SV TW to see the inside of the reel in future videos. I will do a full write up after some time catching fish on the TackleTour forums. Be sure to subscribe to make sure you don't miss out.

I hope this video helps you out. Comment below for any questions. I will help you out.
There is a lot of talk on the TackleTour forums about the Steez CT SV TW and other tackle. www.tackletour.net/viewtopic.p...

From the Daiwa Website:
It is the flagship reel in the Daiwa line and one of the finest bait casters money can buy. The new compact 70 size is small, palmable and ultra comfortable. Twelve ball bearings and a roller bearing make this reel one of the smoothest on the market, bar none. The light 5.3 oz.design incorporates Daiwa’s most advanced technologies. The rigid frame and side cover are constructed from Magnesium which is half the weight of aluminum yet just as strong. The SV spool is milled from Ultra-light G1 Aluminum alloy. The advanced Air Brake System effectively prevents overlays utilizing centrifugal and magnetic force. The comfortable crank uses soft paddle handles. Available in 6.3 to 1 and 8.1 to 1 gear ratios, the reels are technique versatile. The state of the art drag system can apply an impressive, ten pounds of pressure while paying out with a buttery smoothness. With four models to choose from, the state of the art baitcasting reel can serve many different purposes. If you want to experience the culmination of 60 years of Daiwa reel building technology take the STEEZ CT SV 70 for a spin.

Cheers for the effort Hobi-Wan! That looked very good. Damn I might "need" one :D
Its a pretty sick reel. I just have to wit for the ice to melt and then I can tear into some fish with it.
I own this reel now and still come back to watch this video. I personally believe this is the best reel out to date. With a ray studio spool.
I regret selling mine. Such a versatile reel...prices are kinda expensive on the used side nowadays too.
@@HobieWanKenobi Should not have sold. This reel is a close second for me to my Antares but no other reel compares I’ve ever used at least
I like clicking drag indicators, just in case you end up using live bait and have something on with the reel engaged when peacock bass fishing. Nice review.
I like the drag feature for BFS fishing. For typical bass fishing, it is pretty useless. With live bait, I see its function. Good point you bring up.
Pretty neat reel. I am about to replace my Daiwa Aggrest with this.
Worth the upgrade for sure.
If the CT is anything like the Steez SV 1012 it will be an amazing skipping reel.
I did some skipping with it after my camera died. It does VERY well skipping. I was also standing on a peir so, the angle was odd but, the reel did it well.
Maybe video Skipping light lures on the Aldebaran Bfs XG still learning todo that 🤔
My regards 👊
Skipping with BFS is a whole different game. I havent really tried skipping with the Aldebaran. I have done quite a bit with the SCorpion BFS with 7lb Sniper FC and did really well. There is a week of above freezing temps coming up. I can try to squeeze a video in. Thanks for the suggestion.
Still above freezing in Europe Netherlands look like theres no Winter too come. Great if you can show it piece in youre video, that will be nice.
Let Steez force be with you 👻 Hobi Thx for the info 👍👍👍
Nice video about casting all the specs in it 👍64
I order the new Tatula 103 sv tw Daiwa for the first time
have Shimano K and the Bfs Xg is it any good in compare ?
Great video 👊 abonnemented ❤
The new Tatula seems to be a highly hyped reel (deservedly so). The BFS XG is really nice for light lures. I havent used one stock in ages but, the Scorpion BFS is close to the same thing (casting wise) and it is a very capable reel. I dont know why I waited so long to get a Scorpion BFS.
Got the Aldebaran 16 Bfs xg instead because the weight
You see the test Tackeladvisor between the Scorpion Bfs Xg
Bfs reels on the youtube feels like a toy 145 grams cast really good
depending on the rod and line you use casting under 3 grams
I use 0.06 mm braid on 215 cm Dragon nice rod 2 till 12 gram cast pretty nice. Hope the Tatula works fine for above 3 grams till 6 gram jigs too.
@@richarddeboer8934 The Aldebaran is noticeably lighter. The Scorpion BFS is really good for the money.
I like to keep the brakes at 6, anyone else? I love the new steez ct sv, it palms perfectly
I think I was about the same. I set my brake tension to barely allow any side to side play
I just got this today , man its sweet ... Im thinking to spool 100% Fluro 7-8lb ,
It is a sweet reel. Tiny in hand and casts like a dream.
What is the brand of line fluoro bro?
@@farisnordin7917 Sunline Sniper 10lb FC
I know you have regular steez sv tw, how do you compare the two, is CT worth extra money daiwa is asking in USA for ct
Good questions. I would compare prices of the two reel in Japan. You will save A LOT of money getting either reel from Japan. Digitaka.com and Japan Lure Shop are usually the cheapest.
Performance wise, I would say long distance casting is pretty close with 3/8 and up lures. 1/4oz and below, I liked the CT better. Pitching felt a little better with the CT. I do not have a lot of time skipping with the CT but, it seems a little better in the short time I have used it.
The CT is noticeably smaller and palms even better than the already great Steez SV TW. Both reels are smooth but, the CT is smoother.
I will do a full write up on the TackleTour forum after some more time with the CT.
what do you think the lightest weight the reel is possible of looking for a finesse baitcast and this look good
This reel can cast 2gr well.
@@HobieWanKenobi thanks heaps was looking at a sttez air but cant get in Australia but can get a steez ct sv tw here and i can get a bfs spool of the net so ive got best of both only thing is i wont have 20mm spool ill have to do with a 30mm spool which i dont think will make that much difference to the distance i will be casting
Steez AIR is 28mm, Steez CT 30mm. Even smaller difference than you thought.
what rod is that?
i have just purchased one. When I retrieve the line it feels stiff. You ever run into this?
Mine was super smooth. Do you feel it in the gears or elsewhere
What is the handle length for that model?
All of the Steez CT SV TW come with 80mm handle. I am not usually a fan of 80mm handles but, the handle seems to "fit" the reel pretty good.
What is the maximum weight of the lure that can be cast with this multiplier?
Line capacity would be the biggest issue. 1oz lures would be fine if using braided line.
@@HobieWanKenobi Do you think he could throw baits up to 45 grams?
@@kusiek1984 I would not throw lures that heavy with it.
What is the lap capacity for this reel?
It holds about 70yds of 10lb FC
whats the rod spec you using ?
Phenix K2 714. 6-18lb line, 3/16-3/4oz. I would rate this rod lower than the specs suggest.
hello, is this reel worth in 2023 or better wait til next model ?
Really depends on how you fish. This reel is pretty versatile and can do almost any style of fishing but, more suited to finesse (not BFS type finesse). I personally would opt for a ln Alphas SV TW 800s. Less money and most of the performance
What would you prefer? Antares A or Steez
I havent used the Antares A. I know I really do like the Steez CT. The Antares A would probably be better suited for slightly larger lures (like jigs and such). Both reels are the top of the line for the top reel companies out there. My biggest factor would probably be price. Sometimes you find a good deal on a slightly used reel.
Does anyone else not thumb it? I feel like with my steez reels I never have to, let me know. I keep brakes at 5 on my svtw and 6 on my ct
Depends for me. I like my reels fast but, the reel plays a big part.
What's the point of buying a 500 reel that can cast as far as my 200 reel?
What is the point of buying a Benelli ETHOS when a Mossberg 500 has pretty much the same range? There is a lot more disparity with the shotguns that the $500/$200 reel situation you mentioned.
I will agree that a $500 reel is not 2.5x better than a $200 reel. There is a increase in refinement, ease of achieving distance, accuracy...many things. The same can be said about a $200 reel versus an $80 reel. Rifle A and Rifle B probably shoot the same round the same distance (given the same length barrel, ammo and such).
There comes a place where people are willing to pay beyond the point of diminishing returns for a product. I see people driving sports cars when the speed limit is only 65mph. People enjoy different things are may be willing to spend more money on their passion than others. Does not mean people who dump money on their passion are better at it or necessarily more successful.
@@HobieWanKenobi 65mph are restrictions to how fast a person can drive, what are the restrictions of how far a $500 and $200 can throw?
@@MrRednexus Without getting into a huge argument about it, if Reel 500 and Reel 200 cast the same distance (speed limit), why then buy Reel 500? Same can be said for anything. I used the sports car analogy because even though it has the same restrictions (posted speed limit) as a Ford Focus, why do people still buy cars that cost more than a Ford Focus that can, because of physical limitations or mechanical, do the same thing as something less expensive?
There are countless factors that cant really be quantified into buying things but are clearly present. I think you know what I am saying.
try it yourself. A Zillion HLC will outcast any Steez and you have still 150 to 200 bucks left.
It cast longer light to medium rigs. The steez is at the other hand lighter, smaller snd you can cast actually even the bigger Ultra light to light rigs and baits still with respectable distance.
Also the lure and fish contact is a bit better.
Sure you could also catch mostly 70% of any perch with a 70 Dollar CastKing combo and there is no reason for a 1000 bucks Bait finesse combo to catch some baby pike, perch and trout but you may noticed fishing is not more about getting something to eat out of the water. Its a hobby
@@Zozo806 how about zillion HLC vs Metanium mgl
What rod is that?
It is a custom Phenix K2 714 I built. It is rated as a medium-heavy but, is more like a medium.
@@HobieWanKenobi Looks great mate!
Debating about getting one but I’ve been a Spinning Reel guy all my life. Would you say Braid is better than mono?
I havent used a spinning reel in a few years. Technology is really helping these baitcasting reels cast lighter and easier. I like the Steez CT a lot.
As far as line, there are many factors. braid is smaller in diameter than mono of FC (for same lb). That helps with casting and you can fit more line on your reel. Braid also has no stretch which can be good in certain situations (heavy cover, really deep water...). Because of the no-stretch, it will feel more sensitive...wait...I should just make a video of this.
@@HobieWanKenobi , i went with a Avid bass angler on a Pre fishing trip before a tournament and all he had was bait casters, he had one spinning set up.
Anyways all i had was my 3 Spinning set up i brought, but after the trip i wanted to try bait casting, bought me the Daiwa CT SV paired with 2020 St. Croix Legend Xtreme. its super sensitive but casting is no where near my spinning set ups. I might just use it to Steelhead fish in the winter. lol
I still like my Exist better. Baitcasters are never gonna beat Spinners.
Everybody has their preferences. I like baitcasting reels a lot, especially in streams. I get more control with them and better accuracy. People are all different though
@@HobieWanKenobi true, the only thing i do hate about Spinning reels is the bail........if you every bang one up on a fishing trip and you only brought one reel........almost screwed but it sucks to manually put your line on.
I havent used a spinning reel in a few years. I do prefer them for dropshotting though.

I am sorry as I do not have this reel anymore. It was a subscriber's reel.
Ok thx
699? i will pass...
Don't buy it in the US, it's a standard ~$450 reel JDM.
Yup, that Shadow said. About 460 from Japan.
@@HobieWanKenobi Are all reels cheaper if you buy from Jdm ? IF So could you tell me the website . Thank you
@@bobbybass1944 Most of the mid to higher end reels are less expensive buying from Japan. Japan Lure Shop, Plat, Japan Tackle are just a few. I would look at all three of them to start. Tackletour.net forums is another place to find MUCH more information about JDM. Many users there, including myself talk and share of experiences buying JDM.
