DAIWA’s State-Of-The-Art Steez™ Baitcasters

Daiwa has added two new baitcasting reels to its revolutionary Steez™ series of bass gear, both designed to accommodate heavier test lines for “power fishing” situations.

Daiwa’s new STEEZ100HA and mirror-image, left-hand retrieve STEEZ100HLA feature deeper spools capable of holding 120 yards of 14-pound-test or 100 yards of 16-pound-test monofilament. This makes these incredibly light yet super powerful reels ideal for applications like working crankbaits, fishing topwater or flipping jigs in heavy cover.

Thanks to their technologically advanced design, Magnesium frames/sideplates and Titanium components, both of the new Steez baitcasters weigh in at a mere 5.6 ounces.

Inside every Steez baitcaster are eleven ball bearings plus a roller bearing for unsurpassed smoothess and reliability. Long, precise, trouble-free casts are ensured by the free-floating A7075 aluminum spool and Daiwa’s exclusive Magforce®-Z magnetic anti-backlash system. When you hook up, expect plenty of cranking power from the A7075 tempered drive gear and phosphor bronze pinion, as well as flawless performance from the eight-disc wet drag with precision click adjustment. The STEEZ100HA and STEEZ100HLA baitcasters also feature Daiwa’s Swept Handle design, which moves the paddles closer to the rod’s centerline for less wobble in your hand as you crank and a more powerful, efficient retrieve.
