Steez has a long history as part of Daiwa, a premium flagship brand for bass fishing equipment. They introduce the Ultimate Casting Design, realizing the perfect cast. To achieve the ultimate casting design that Daiwa has been striving for for many years, it was necessary to coordinate four key elements and push each of them to the limit.
Perfecting just one part was not enough; it required all parts to work together to bring the Ultimate Casting Design to life. The four pillars of the Ultimate Casting Design are Daiwa's renowned Magforce + Variable Inductor, TWS T-Wing System, Zero Adjust, and G1 Duralumin spool. When all four are harmonized, the performance of perfect casting is realized.
Daiwa's advancement with a completely contactless electromagnetic braking system has been in development since the introduction of Magforce braking over 20 years ago. By creating a completely contactless structure, all friction is eliminated and therefore not easily affected by external factors such as moisture or humidity. The adaptation of a two-stage variable inductor controlled by the spool's rotation means that performance for light baits, versatility, or super long casts can be achieved.
Daiwa's Zero Adjuster has been around for many years. By mastering the main brake (Magforce), Daiwa baitcasting reels no longer require the second-stage mechanical brake that applies force to the spool shaft. Now, anglers can respond to any setting by adjusting the mag dial. Ultimate Casting Design has eliminated this capability, simplifying adjustment and use and eliminating the possibility of accidental adjustment.
A third-generation TWS has been installed, with the shape adjusted to further increase line flow. As baitcasting reels become more compact and the spool diameter decreases, the spool rotation speed increases, further enhancing the performance benefits of TWS. A 4.9% increase in casting distance is achieved in test casts compared to the second-generation TWS.
A new G1 Duralumin spool is considered the highest quality aluminum alloy material, twice as strong as magnesium and 1.3 times stronger than Super Duralumin. This allows Daiwa to create spools that are thin and light while retaining strength and durability to handle many different types and sizes of line.
