Cypress, CA – Daiwa just introduced the Steez CT SV, a high-end baitcaster reel. The new CT SV is the latest flagship reel in the high-end Steez lineup.
The Steez CT SV features a 90-mm handle length and oversize handle knobs, a magnesium frame, handle side, and side plate with special paints and coatings ensure it is also saltwater capable. The CT SV also features a larger handle, improved gears and incorporates the new Hyper Drive Design. Daiwa’s Hyper Drive Design uses cut gearing and Hyper Drive Digigear tooth shape incorporated with a smaller tooth pattern so more gear teeth engage at the same time, yielding an efficient transfer of power, therefore making the gear set feel smoother and more powerful, while reducing gear noise. The Steez CT SV’s Hyper Double Support is a dual-bearing system for the pinion gear to keep everything in alignment.
The CT SV also comes with Daiwa's T-Wing System and an G1 Duralumin SV (Stress-Free Versatile) long-cast spool. Daiwa’s T-wing System utilizes separate aperture settings for casting and retrieving that evenly packs line on the spool. SV spool baitcasting technology also enhances casting distance by automatically adjusting spool tension at the beginning and end of each cast to overcome spool inertia and reduce overruns when throwing lightweight and standard-weight lures.
Daiwa has also incorporated their UTD (Ultimate Tournament Drag) into the Steez CT SV. The UTD includes impregnated drag discs, which are about 30 times more durable than normal discs. The CT SV also has an audible clicker, like those found on Daiwa spinning reels, that lets anglers know when a fish is taking drag.
Backed by the "Daiwa Executive Steez Service Warranty", which provides cleaning and service at no charge for 5-years with proof of purchase. Similar warranties cover Daiwa’s flagship Saltiga and Exist spinning reels. The Steez line is the company’s first baitcaster to offer executive-level service.
The reel will retail at $729.99.
