Daiwa Steez SV TW 16 Baitcasting Reel (1016SV-SH) (2016 Model)

Winding length (1 handle rotation) (cm): 75 Gear ratio: 7.1 Standard weight (g): 160 Maximum drag force (kg): 5 Standard winding amount Nylon (lb.-m): 14-45~90/16-40~80 Spool diameter (mm): 34 Bearings (ball/roller): 12/1 Chloroprene reel case included Serial number included TWS: As the third generation of TWS, we have developed a new compact turnaround system that is suitable for small and medium diameter spools. This contributes greatly to making the reel body lighter and more compact. SV Concept: A unique material is placed in the inductor rotor that pops out at high rotation speeds. When the lure enters the magnetic field of the main magnet, it exerts braking force that is just right for the lure. G1 duralumin spool: 1.3 times stronger than extra-super duralumin and twice as strong as magnesium, it is incredibly lightweight at the same strength. Strength is maintained by thinning the material without blanking. G1 Duralumin Drive Gear: This is the first time that G1 Duralumin, the material that has supported the spool technology of DAIWA baitcasting reels, has been adopted for the gear. Furthermore, the diameter has been increased by one rank from STEEZ, significantly improving durability. Smooth reeling feel lasts longer. High-precision machine-cut air metal housing: By using air metal (magnesium alloy) for the main housing and an aluminum set plate, it is lightweight and highly rigid, suppressing vibration and distortion. This also directly leads to improved rotation performance and winding performance. Zero Adjuster: The mechanical brake now only controls spool play and does not need to be readjusted. The optimal braking force for each lure can now be achieved simply by adjusting the mag dial.

[Product Highlights]

● Trouble-Free Casting with the SV Concept Daiwa’s proprietary SV (Stress-free Versatile) concept is adopted. It significantly reduces backlash while allowing comfortable casting with everything from lightweight lures to heavy lures. Because it requires less sensitive brake adjustment, it provides a stable casting feel for both beginners and experienced anglers.

● Outstanding Casting Distance with TWS (T-Wing System) Equipped with the TWS (T-Wing System), which reduces line release resistance during casting. The smoother line release improves both casting distance and accuracy, allowing anglers to cover a wider range of fishing spots. It is particularly effective in situations where long-distance casting is required.

● G1 Duralumin Spool The spool is made from high-strength aluminum alloy “G1 Duralumin,” a material also used in aircraft components. It combines lightweight construction with excellent rigidity, delivering quick spool start-up and rotation performance. This supports delicate lure control and precise casting.

● High-Precision Air Metal Housing A high-precision machined Air Metal Housing is used, achieving both rigidity and lightweight performance. The entire reel maintains high structural strength and delivers a stable and smooth retrieve even under heavy load.

● High-Gear Design for Fast Retrieval This high-gear model features a gear ratio of 7.1, enabling approximately 75 cm of line retrieval per single handle rotation. It performs well in fast-paced fishing styles, cover fishing, and situations where quick lure retrieval is important.

● Lightweight Design for Comfortable All-Day Fishing The reel weighs approximately 160 g, making it lightweight and easy to handle. Even during long bass fishing sessions with repeated casting, it helps reduce fatigue and ensures comfortable operation.

● High-Performance Bearing System Equipped with 12 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing. This system delivers smooth rotation performance and durability, allowing seamless operation from the initial retrieve to situations where heavy load is applied.

[Summary] This product is a high-end baitcasting reel that combines trouble-free casting performance through the SV concept with excellent casting distance enabled by the TWS system. Despite its lightweight construction, the reel features a highly rigid body and a G1 Duralumin spool, incorporating Daiwa’s advanced technologies into a compact design. As a result, it delivers high-level performance in casting accuracy, smooth retrieval, and overall operability. Its versatility allows it to handle everything from finesse techniques with lightweight lures to powerful fishing methods, making it an extremely appealing choice for anglers seeking reliable performance in the field.
