Pixy type R vs TDZ Type R +

[Bryant Blackmon]

I would like to purchase one of the 2 I know they are for different purposes but I can switch a reel or 2 around to make everything work

That Type R + has a pretty special spool and are hard to come by. I would get one of those over the Pixy Type R unless you are diehard BFS guy.

You would need to be more specific on the Steeze model. There is the 100, 103, EX, and various SV and LTD models. Plenty of tuning options for all the reels you have mentioned as well.

Buy all 3 and sell the 2 that you don't like if you are really on the fence.

the 103H to compare to the Type R + I have one now and love it and to compare to the pixy the 105H, just have been looking at past posts about the TDZ and have seen them compared to the Steez a lot

The TDZ platform was the predecessor to the Steeze. Both are among the best magnesium reels Daiwa has made. Only drawback on the TDZ reels seems to be lack of high speed gear options for RH users.

Im aware that is why i said the 103H not SH @kickerfish1

The TDZ type R+ is a special reel. I have 2 and am fortunate enough to be LH and get 7:1 gears. I will take these over almost every reel out past and present.

The Pixy Type R is no match to a TDZ Type R+.

The TDZ Type R+ is a TDZ 103H with a Type R+ spool ( other than the spool the differences are purely cosmetic, the Type R+ has the 3 holes on top of the frame and has the anodized red tension knob cap and drag star ) 

TDZ Type R+ and IZE Custom TDZs have the Type R+ spool.

The non SV Steez has the Type R+ spool.

Steez spools are TDZ 103/105 compatible so you can turn a regular 103/105 into a Type R+ TDZ just by dropping in a Steez spool.

The TDZ 100 US Trail is not compatible with the Type R+ spool.
