Daiwaâs new Steez A TW is designed to be an extra tough and durable reel compared to the original Steez SV TW. The reel now has an aluminum frame, which will provide increased strength, is more powerful and durable. It has a precision machined G1 Duralumin spool that is combined with Magforce Z cast control system. This will allow for a longer cast with more accuracy. It has two more pounds of drag than the original Steez SV TW for a total of 13.2 pounds of drag. And has ATD drag which is designed to be one of Daiwaâs smoothest drag. The reel also features a Magsealed Ball Bearing on the pinion gear to provide more durability when fishing in brackish or saltwater conditions.

Daiwa Tatula
Daiwaâs new Tatula SV TW models will help cast finesse baits a long ways with ease. The SV spool feature reduces the weight of the spool, which will give less spool over spin. As the spool slows, the induct rotor moves back towards the magnetic field, which brakes the spool according to the weights of different types of lures. Combine that with the T-Wing system that also helps reduce spool over spin thanks to the bigger line guide opening. MSRP: $199.99

MSRP: $199
69/174
Quantum Smoke S3
While most of the fishing industry focuses on smaller reels with tiny spools, Quantum engineered a larger 35.5mm spool into a very compact frame to provide anglers plenty of line capacity, longer casts, and more inches of line pick-up with every turn of the handle. The spool size becomes somewhat irrelevant without a top-notch braking system, so Quantum performed a tremendous amount of engineering research to develop a new ACS 4.0 cast control that is lighter in weight which minimizes the amount of energy it takes to get the spool spinning on a cast, along with additional brakes that disengage around 5,000 RPMs to maximize distance. The reel also breaks new ground with a most-ever 16 different cast control choices on a larger, new easier-to-see and external dial, even for anglers with beefy fingers. MSRP: $169
70/174
Smoke S3 Spinning Reel
Quantumâs new Smoke S3 series is the product of a whole new way to build a spinning reel in an all aluminum uni-body construction, which keeps all the gears and key components in precise alignment for a smoother more durable reel. Speaking of gears, Smoke S3 reels feature an all-new asymmetric gear that is forged and machined from high-strength aluminum to allow the gears to mesh better for incredible durability and smoothness. Tough, smooth gears are critical, but drag systems can make or break a spinning reel too, so by partnering with a university research team, Quantum CSC3 drag is breaking new ground with the development of really tough plasma arc ceramic washers that serve as space-age defenders against heat. MSRP: $159
