Which Daiwa

[Bass4Me007]

I'm looking to purchase a new Daiwa reel and am seeking advice as to which one. This reel will be used primarily for such things as casting or skipping tubes with light weight, down to 1/8 oz. I'm seeking to replace an old red Fuego that I have been using for this purpose.  Steez line is out of my range, but anything around $300 or less would interest me. To be a little more helpful, if you believe the Tatula SV TWS would accomplish this as well as an SV103 or a Zillion SV TW, please let me know. I'm obviously not interested in spending more than necesssary.   :-).  Those are three I am particularly interested in, but not limited to. Thanks for any responses!

Sv103 or Zillion sv tws would. Tatula sv maybe. Sv105 also.

The SS SV103 or the SV103 reels would handle those baits nicely.

SV103 or SV105 

Both have the same spools so their casting capabilities are the same. 103 holds a bit more line compared to the 105 spool. Both are nice but I prefer the 103 do to the longer handle and a bit more drag pressure. Also feels a little more solid in my hands. Take a look at the Steez SV103 too. Easily found on the auction site for $300. All 3 have their place in my aresenal. Hard to pick a favorite since I enjoy them all.

Nice rigs!

 

Who makes those grips?!

Do You notice more sensitivity?

Just a thought, the Fuego is a great old reel. You could put a SV spool in it and really increase its capabilities

Your correct and I should know that, I've built 2 Fuegos and 3 OG zillions. Talk about a brain fart. Go with a Tatula SV great reel

No SV spools for that reel.  You could just get a DIY spool for the OG Zillion

then get the SV inductor they also sell and put together and have a sweet set-up 

Basically the same inductors so no need to buy the extra one. I've been messing around with them lately. No performance gains that I can see.

SV105 or Alphas SV would be my 1st choice. I'm assuming you won't be using test over 10 lb. Solid little aluminum reel with great casting abilities.

Haven't fully decided yet, but thank you all for your informed opinions. I really appreciate it!
